Title: [C+C] Popular series warrior woman
Post by: vargad on December 12, 2016, 09:11:27 pm
Hi all,
I'm quite new to pixel art, please help me how to improve my drawing. I made three main variants, and tried to improve them, I posted the progress as well. It's for cross stitching, the fabric is black, hence the background color.

I believe it's meant to be the dragon lady from Game of Thrones if I'm not mistaken.

I used to get my grandma to cross stitch pixel art for me. It is cool idea to do!  :y:

I think the bottom one lookst the best. So i made some quick edits, especially the colour needed some work. You should probably read up on color theory, there are lots of pixel art tutorials that talk about it. So instead of just changing the value (the amount of black and white) you should also play with Hue and Saturation, that is where you make the real difference, especially Hue. I don't know what colours you exactly want, but i just experimented a bit. I also changed her pose. When people put an arm on their hips, they dont balance their weight equally on both feet. So 1 foot will have a different direction (http://www.martelnyc.com/figure-illustration/images/8700_27_88-fashion-poses-templates.jpg).

BTW posting the progress isn't that useful for cc.
