Pixel Art / Re: Hello :)
« on: November 17, 2009, 03:32:54 am »
I have a question! =D . So I am an Anime freak (I hope no one hates me for that =( ....) Well, I was wondering about two things. One of them is actually related to Anime lol.
First Question: I usually use paint ^_^ but after a disaster/MAJOR TRAGEDY, I have been questioning. I made this cute little pixel doll
THE BASE (the face) is NOT mine, it belongs to KawaiiHannah.com (I tried so hard on the shading, PLEASE tell me what you think! <3 criticiism is welcomed too! PLZ) I saved it as a PNG. but it still blurred when I opened it in GIMP to animate it. Thus, I never animated it 
Should I use Paint? because I also downloaded something called Graphics Gale, but it seemed so MAJORLY confusing to me, too many tools ! 
. What should I do (by the way im too poor/cheap to get photoshop or anything that costs money atm ^_^ )
Second Question: I LOVE drawing Anime, I was wondering, is it a good idea to transfer scanned anime drawings and color them in with pixel shading? How is it done? Is it better to get really good at drawing Anime THEN going on to Pixel art or vice versa? TY for your response in advance! People are awesome artists here I cant believe it!

The shading makes much more sense!. Thank you for the colors tip, I didnt know that. I always thought more colors the better.
so, here I am trying to learn how to pixel^_^ I am still a beginner though. I use MS Paint to create my pixels and then I animate them in GIMP. If anyone has any tips please tell, I am excited about learning pixel art and really want to learn to do my best!!! Thank you so much 
I cannot wait to meet everyone!~ 
This is a lollipop that I made 
My first real attempt at what I call complex animation 
For some reason, GIMP didnt let me make it transparent so I had to leave it with the white background 
Im new to pixel art, I discovered it when I figuired out how to put clothes on pixel dolls, then fell in love with it but I dont like using other peoples work to make things, I wanted to make something on my own and Ive tried to do so countless times...and I suck! 
What should I do!
