Sorry you didn't receive feedback with your last piece. So I'll do my best to try and give you some constructive feedback.

Right now I don't really see any direction with your work here. What/who is he supposed to be? What is he doing? What is your purpose in drawing him? He gives off the impression of an aimless doodle and that makes it very hard to critique or even provide a decent edit with.

I'm not even sure what I'm doing with this edit lol.


I think, for starters you need to lower the resolution you are working at. Start with some smaller sprites to start building the fundamentals of pixel art. Take a good tour of the forums here and read up on the the many tutorials posted about. Pick a person of whose art you enjoy and start mirroring the techniques you see them use. Also start working on art fundamentals. Draw shapes, plays with colors, study anatomy, gesture, practice still life...etc.

Take your time an work from the ground up and most of all have fun 

Editing an edit. If thread goes anywhere I'll take a stab at it over the weekend when I'm not so tired. To many pixels right now.

Could you put into words where I scrooged the anatomy? I still struggle with that somewhat right now so I'd appreciate a breakdown.

Sure, general proportion sizes are good, head, neck(zarya has a thick neck) and the raised forearm could be a bit bigger. The greatest issue is the lack of shoulders take a look at how both PPD and I pronounced her shoulders more.

The pose is an issue as well, i took the liberty of acting it out in my underwear and confirmed that it is a very unnatural and off balance position to be in. But I understand if your hands are tied

Also don't scale up images. There is an auto scale feature that allows us to scale an image simply by clicking on it.
