Practice drawing. Not just with pixels either.

You'll notice most of the more talented pixel artists can also make some pretty great drawings too.

Find a second shooter reference and just fix up the jumpiness in the torso.

I know. As I already states, I just started blocking out the colors and added a single layer of shading to each color. Wanted to know if the shading was alright so I could continue without having to hear the shading's wrong later on.
I don't really agree with that type of thinking. When I do paintings in photoshop I accept the fact that the shading isn't going to be right at first. Don't waste time trying to get things perfect in the beginning. Have things make sense and have the composition (and anatomy) work. After that then you pretty much start correction things until you're done.
Shading and highlighting really shouldn't be two different steps. They are harmonious! I hope that's a word.

I hope you bump up the contrast as you go, the shading on the skin seems... weak.

Shoulders should probably be a bit wider, just a little. or a smaller head.

The original sketch is better really.
I think the biggest problem is the lack of highlights. Everything is one color with one single shade. There's nothing in between and no highlights.
The combination of highlights and shadows really help describe form.

Do you have any references?
You might want to get some then.

So much spam   :sry:
isn't that the point of offtopic?
I believe they are referring to the spam on the forum. UPDATE YOUR SMF! USE A CAPTCHA(like) PLUG-IN!

I recommend anything with a riddle or a picture of Michael Jordan.

It's everywhere on SMF. Time for a change? Some kind of riddle to get in?
Or a rubix cube. Can we make those with html5?

I spent most of yesterday drawing pictures for people on chat roulette. Saw too many penises.

Alex. There are two big glaring problems that scream NOT DONE to me.

Firstly, the wasted colors.
You've got one color (red) being used on just two pixels. COMPLETE WASTE. You also are using straight boring color ramps.
Purple, Yellow-Salmon and some dull Browns. There's an odd sanitized look about it. Use the colors together a bit.
Secondly, there anatomy is quite... wonky.
The guy has a rub for an arm. There's no indication of an elbow. The arms also seem a little short. And the hands malformed.

You're small piece was looking better than this one. It had similar flaws, but they weren't as bad.

I suggest you go back to the smaller one and try again. Try drawing this guy out on paper too!


Oh yeah, eyes are in the middle of our head. Not the top. I assume this guy is human right?

Just quickly look at it I think the left arm (her right) could be a bit longer and the hand looks short or jusst .. stiff? If that's a fist I think .... I don't know. But the arm does look short and unnaturally posed.

You can easily AA the shadows on the legs with that knee color.

vs.
Edit.
Softened those black lines and fixed the guitar. :] Played with the face too.
Same amount of colors, can easily lose the black though.

Your hair style made no sense.
