Pixel Art / 32x32 Sprite with glasses
« on: August 27, 2010, 10:07:28 pm »
I'm trying to draw a guy with glasses 32x32.  This will be used at 2x or 3x zoom and it's meant to look SD.



Any tips?  I'm finding it difficult to make the glasses stand out.

Pixel Art / A Tree
« on: July 29, 2010, 03:15:43 am »
This is my first pixel drawing:



(There's no reference.  At first I wanted a bonsai-type tree and looked at lots of pictures of them, but I ended up with this instead.)

I have serious trouble with color.  My art background (if you can call it that) is pencil drawings, so I'm used to drawing in black, white and grey.  Color is hard.

I need help especially with the trunk.  The colors look too dark or there's not enough contrast or something.  It looks OK at 2x or 3x zoom but when I view it at 1x, it looks washed out and the detail is gone.  When I try using a brighter brown or orange for the highlights, it looks unnatural.  Suggestions welcome.
