Bruce Lee Portrait

[Rydin]

I haven't done any pixels in way too long so I was fiddling around the other evening. I was using arne's palette I think. Just trying to keep the colors low, dimensions small, and still try to convey a personality in a recognizable fashion. 

What would you do differently?

he looks mexican.  big eyebrows, the shading looks like a 'stache, his eyes are wide open, nothing really tells me he is bruce lee, more like pedro haha

no but in all seriousness if you freehand traced it, try to see if it's logically, dimensionally correct with a photo overlay, that's what I would do.

I'm not one for giving advice, being a pixel noob and all.  Take it with a grain of salt.

I think there are more interesting shapes in his face that you could highlight. What I would do differently is use less arbitrary restrictions like omitting AA and only using certain angles or palettes, and instead focus on filling the space with more cluster- and shape-interaction.
