Mario Outfit WIP

WIP obviously.

Uh... I don't think that really counts as pixel art...

I mean, its got pixels, and its art, but not pixel art...

Um

I've seen stuff like this crop up every once in a while, but I just don't know how to explain it/tell the person the precise definition of "pixelart".

[Faceless]

There's no reason why this can't be pixel art. Pixel Art doesn't require 1 pixel width outlines.
As it is now, there's very little feedback from us that will be of any use...
But I'll do my best:
The hat is odly preportioned. Here's a reference to its actual shape:

For recognisability I think he needs a red shirt of some variety under those overalls, and the pink could do with being replaced with a redder shade.
Good luck cleaning up the outline and detailing him.

Oekaki.

Faceless - Thanks for the reply. I am only going to remove lines that shouldn't be there. Another one of my drawing pixels from my book. I also will try to do something with the hat, but because it was scanned and then reduced, I'd rather just leave the hat as it is. 

Feron - Oekaki? 

Rynen - It's pixel art, I think... 



Starting on pallette, I know there's alot of colours, but it's just for now.

EDIT:

My last update thing for tonight.

Like Sax said, it's obviously a WIP. I think you should show a little more progression (such as clean lines and basic shading) before you expect to get any kind of useful comments.

Oekaki is (from my understanding) non-AA'd digital art made in which the precision control required for true pixel art is overlooked or ignored. Basically just a pixel sketch. There are applets online which are made solely for this purpose.

As for your art, I quite like the odd blue color and the pinkish hue of the hat, though I do think that the hat looks very lumpy compared to Mario's original. I think it's that wierd middle lump that does it.

Update kinda. Just fixed up some colours so I can reuse them.

The drawing dosen't seem very level. His left eye is too low, as well as his left shoulder strap. The stitch lines on his overalls seem a tad arbitrarily placed. You might want to study some real-life round objects to get a feel for how the curves work. I happen to have a large, flourescently coloured plastic egg leftover from easter sitting on my desk, but you might not be so fortunate. A real egg, perhaps? Also, the brim of the hat seems to be hugging his forhead for some reason.

I'm not quite sure how to explain reflections, so I won't go farther than to say that the recently added (light blue) highlight isn't where it should be, and strangely shaped.

I thought I would make one thing lower than the other to get the sense of roundness.

Sax, like I said on Pixeltendo, you use too many colors for one shade (in this case, blue).
And it needs 100% more shading, imo.
