hi,
I just decided today to have a go at pixel art, because i'm quite bored of 3d work, and wanted to expand more into the world of 2d. so i came up with this chef in about 30 minutes in photoshop.

and it was so much fun! so i searched for a forum, and found this one.
tell me what I could improve plz, i might stick around this forum for a while.

someone told me that this was way too big, and a waste of pixels basically, so i scaled it down to 1/4 the size
does it look alright?

Remember that when you doing Pixel art to not use the brushes in photoshop just use solid blocks because 263 colours is WAY to much for a piece like this. Try to redo with only like 20 colours max.

oh ok.. lol, still learning the basics..
i'll redo it.

The black outline on the mouth is pretty distracting.

There's nothing wrong with having a bigger piece, you just need to be more aware of details on that size. Bringing the size down did get rid of the readability issues (mostly clothing). The items in his hand aren't as clear though. Your work with 3D is very obvious in the shading. It's good, but don't let it limit you. You can have a lot more fun with artistic interpretation, and it's much easier to get curves. The black outline is inconsistant, sometimes connected, sometimes not; sometimes colored, sometimes not. Pick one and stay with it. Very good for your first, lots of character.
