eww. emo
don't like emo.. the character's very flat, not much else to say.. erm, keep practicing.
Don't 'like emo'? That's a shame. I've read your posts before though, and I just know you're objective enough to give some specific comments on technique rather than on (sarcastic) subject matter. Ideas on making him less flat?
Im not claiming to be a great pixel artist, so I'll only give advice when I feel it will help.. I tend to add a comment instead of crits because there are plenty more people here who would give helpful'er advice..
Im sorry if it came accross as sarcastic but it's true, I dislike emo.. whats wrong with that....?
im also sorry my post was short and pointless, I will give some reasonable critisism, im in the middle of moving house so I may be a bit rushed from time to time..
, my personal problems maybe getting the better of me, soo my messages may reflect just that
.. if so I am sorry, you say you've noticed that through a few of my posts..
ok i'll try some crits.. the actual drawing itself is very flat, as in it would be hard to know where to shade.. Maybe you would be better off drawing a slightly larger/cropped character and concentrate on getting the proportions right, my first atempt is just a basic sketch on paint to determain what I wanted to see, then I would add more detail (I decided to straighten him out, and use a hand drawn sketch to help..), from this I cleaned it up to just white and black and basically used 5 shades to shade it in..
I don't think for an emo character, you would use over saturated colours, I would imagine you would try and make it look dark, colourless.. but thats just my interpretation.. well its always an idea to use at least 3 shades for a colour so you can add definition and shape.. And don't dither unless it's helping towards texturing your image or making it look smoother in areas..
If im wrong guys, please tell me because Im always reluctant to post advice as I know most of you will know better.. also my example was only quickly done so if theres any flaws its cus im lazE..
hope I help term, goodluck with pixeling...
