Hello. I'm practicing lo res. Here's Melbourne city in 8 colors.

This is really good!


If there's one thing I don't totally like, it's the blue building around the center bottom of the screen, just above the river. It looks sort of, lumpy or something, you might want to try a more angular shape for it.


It's honestly quite good already though. Not sure if you need to change it at all.

Very nice though i think the pixel level detail all over the sky detracts from layers in front and flattens image.
A spot of detail here and there might be ok but it seems too much kinda noisy.
"Interleaving" as i call it (is there a common name?) can be useful for softening the edges of large clusters and bands of colour.
U see it all over the place in this example just look at the wall in foreground for example.

I think the cleaner sky looks better, it's more realistic because the sky isn't really that blocky.
