« on: January 11, 2012, 09:55:35 pm »
Hi, so this week is my first time trying to enter PixelJoint's weekly challenge.
I'm remaking this piece:
I'm trying to AA but even in greyscale it looks ergh... (on the right is a sketch of the mouth and how the colors might look)
Help is truely appreciated. I quite like my design (original sketch) but if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know.

If you want to get better, you have to work hard. It's fun but hard.
Just like in all arts, I don't think you should copy other people's style, but rather always get real life references and from there you will develop your own. Ask yourself: How is it in real life? rather than How do other artists draw it?
That said, learning how to pixel can teach you alot about drawing: simplification, use of an harmonious palette etc. so I don't think it's a bad idea to do both.

Two things I think you should do:
1: make her bigger (16x32 instead of 8x16).
2: show us a sketch of what you think it should look like (this can be as big as you want)

One thing I noticed immediately was that her mid section is too straight. Not too straight to be realistic, but too straight to have your stereotyped sexy female match your stereotyped strong male.
It should be more like ) . ( than | . | if you get what I mean.
Also, the lower part of her legs are too big IMO.
You could aslo try to move her breasts down one pixel. Make them less like balls and more like pears.
Her arms postition, which works really well with the man, is akward on her. I think just having her arms hang to the side of her body would be alot more natural and feminine.
Also, give her a pair of panties.

Oh I didn't read your what you said about the sponge before making my edit. I went for a blocky/geometric shape which I now find pretty damn ugly. The character designs I made were just for fun anyway.
Anyway, I'm not sure of what use this could be for you, the statement really was to try and make things simpler.
I'll agree that this is overly simple: the shading, and the perspective aren't every interesting but I think as a whole it's more coherent than what you have showed. The fact that I'm using 10 colours helps I guess, but I'm pretty sure you could get the same result with more colours.
I really tried to make the lines clean, since some of yours are a bit messy.
Also, I used the darkest colour of the table and sponge as the lightest colour of the background. I think this makes everything more coherent while still having the foreground flash like you wanted.
Bear with me, this has to be like my 5th attempt at pixel art.
(the wood texture lines weren't cleaned out because I'm lazy).Je ne savais pas non plus que tu étais francophone avant de lire ton blog.

The lines of the circles in the binders are really weird.
Do you have a limited palette?
I think it would work better if you re-used a least one color from the books in the background.
The colours aren't very harmonious right now.
Maybe try to make the waves in the ink more like hills than spikes, since it's more like the liquid is slowly moving than actual waves.

You can't really steal pieces of the edits people make of your work. It's there for you to use as a reference.
Plus, you won't really learn that way.

He's breathing in reverse. 
When you inhale, your whole torso and belly grows because of the fresh air.
When exhale, you empty your torso and belly so it should get sucked in and shrink.
And if you want to make it metaphorical, it's best to shrink the right guy's belly as if his life/soul was gone and he was empty.

To get rid of the grid, I think having round corners where the ground and the water meet would be a nice step.
Every like that is exactly straight right now could have more curve orbe jagged to feel more natural.
