Title: Beginning At Pixel Art, C+C & Help Needed
Post by: Darky on July 04, 2007, 06:40:36 am
Well I'm starting off by using GraphicsGale.

My main problem is color matching & saturation, I can't seem to pull it off correcty.
I've been studying on coloring & shading, seeming that I like "soft" colors.
This is what I mean by "soft" colors:

Well here's a few things I worked on in the past (C+C if possible please):

From these pictures, you should be able to understand and interpret my current style. As you can see I'm trying to aim for "soft coloring" but I apparently cant pull it off correctly.
Any tips, suggestions, or C+C?
