Pixel Art / Re: Is the lineart looking alright?

Well the point of pixel art and what differentiates it from other genres of digital art is intentional attention and placement of each pixel.
Blocking is like doing a sketch in any other form of art. You then have to go back and move stuff around, refine their placement until they're exactly where you want them and are saying exactly what you want them to say. So for instance if your pan is round, you need to clean up those jagged edges and make your pan look round. It's a copper pan? Fiddle with your pallet to get the colours looking like copper and break out some of the high contrast transitions that metal usually has. Is it high polished? Does it have a rough texture? A thick or a thin rim? Go find some photos of copper frying pans and see how they look!
Remember your fire is a light source, and how it will interact with your pan.
Push those pixels!
