Title: Mini bear
Post by: Bearbear65 on July 22, 2017, 04:55:42 am

Hello
I made a new type of bear it's a lot smaller and I tried my best at it I used a limited amount of colors (Arne16)
I tried to make walking animations too it's my first time doing it so I don't know if I went well
I'm open to criticism and I want you to criticize everything as possible
I really want to improve  :)

(I also made an astronaut but didn't make the walking animations yet)

I made a rocket for the bear too
But I think I may have used too much colors or shades of Gray  :( ???
What do you think I should do to improve?

Maybe I used too much cross things on the rocket ???

I definitely think the spaceship could just some blocked colours, rather than dithering (the cross things you mentioned).

Also, try to visualise how a shape is formed. eg. the form of the cone on the top of the rocket is similar to a triangle, and so the shading would follow that shape

Block some colours out, feel the form of the shapes and get that finalised before adding dithering etc.

Thank you
Does this look better?
I looked up at cylinder shadows should I use dithering for cylinders
Some people use dithering and some don't
When should I use dithering actually?
