Just to let you know I have been studying that Loomis a lot. :) Its been a great help and I really feel like Im learning alot from it. My drawing in general has improved no end since ive been studying it! Slllowly but surely I'll start this project up once I can make some decent line-art. I still have a long way to go but enjoying it!  :D

Well fair enough. Anything that you particularly recommend tutorial wise?

No problem! :D Sorry If I caused confusion. I worked on what willows was describing to me with help with that program I described earlier - this is what ive got so far:



Tried to keep to the kind of style that the web made - I kinda like the sharp edges on the feet but couldnt really copy it effectively over the entire person..maybe if I give it some more time. I think (hope!) that atleast the anatomy is better!



Then eliminated some of the more grating mistakes:



What now?  ???

Haha! Thanks for all the info, expecially Adam who made me realise what a doofus I am! Reading what you guys had to say about using the blocks made me think of a website I found earlier:

http://www.biomotionlab.ca/Demos/BMLwalker.html

I found I could use a net from this program, paste it over to photoshop and edit the web to suit the pose I want to achieve. From THIS I can form the building blocks to THEN add the flesh.

See what you think:



Just lost the other image due to tiredness and Im trying to rush. It was just a picture of the girl with a new web superimposed into her to help show where my mistakes in anatomy may lie! Its interested me to see exactly how little I know seems as though I spend most of my life around other people! You'd think everyone I knew walked round with little t-rex arms and half finished legs...or atleast the girls! ;)

I'll get the second image up in the morning!

Thanks for all your help,

Fox

(EDIT: Whoops, forgot to mention Adam's quote, "ignored the anatomy altogether". Did you really think so? I did actually try to make them more proportioned in the 3rd image I posted. :( Guess it must not have shown )

The picture is helpful but what doesnt help is that my lady isnt standing exactly straight forward which makes it hard to transfer the features across...here was my best attempt (not sure if Im going backwards)

Thanks for the tips. I tried my best to copy over what you seemed to think were my main flaws. Still cant get the legs to look ANYTHING like actual legs but trying!

Searched the forums for something on anatomy but couldnt find anything too helpful (did check links in tools and resources thread).

Heres how im going so far:

Yesterday I finished my first piece of pixel art which I unforchantly lost due to my own stupidity and not saving as I went along. Today I decided to try again but am encountering several problems right away!

Basically I wont trouble you with the details f what im trying to achieve in the long run as there are just so many problems even at this early stage! My main aim right now is to get the sprite a decent outline - something Im finding difficult!

Here goes:



The red lines are the lines im particularly unhappy with and cannot seem to get even to what I would consider an acceptable standard but I added just so you can see roughly what kind of shape Im after. Help me please!!

Thanks, Fox. :)

I dont think it does have a temporary autosave. Whenever it closes I think its just gone for good, which really sucks. ._.

Guess I'll take your advice and take a break for a while and try and get back into it later.

Thanks for all your help,

(Sorry about posting in the wrong section btw!)

Although slightly confused by your post I think I understand. The reason I want my pixels back is because I wished to post them here so that I could be informed how to improve. Now I wont get that chance! :(
