[C+C]Pre Preparation(I guess?)

[Pusty]

Well I was working on my MiniLD entry and I realised how hard it is to make usable images within little time.
I had my hardest time designing a character without reference and I'm not too happy , so I would be happy about any critic.

Thanks

(Note that I can't really tell the brightness of the image as I worked on 2 different monitors and I'm kinda confused lol
So please tell me if this is too bright.)

I feel that the hair is a little bit too bright, and the shoes look a little weird to me too. So do the hands, they are a bit small.

Thank you for your reply!

Something like this?

Hi,

I don't know much of anatomy or drawing faces but I'll try my best.

First his teeth/mouth are black, if they are teeth I think they'll look better white or just a line if it's a mouth. His eyes are "cross-eyed" and that looks weird. The iris should be in the middle. If you made his eyes smaller (height not width) you can add eyebrows too. His head is a bit squared maybe you can add a chin. Also I think his hair would look better if you thin it a little by making some of the darker parts 1 pixel thin.

The only thing I can say about the body right now is that it looks like he doesn't have shoulders.

Thank you very much! Not sure how to add a chin tho'

I've tried doing the chin. I also covered a bit of head on the right and removed some hair to highlight the curve of the face.


Hopefully somebody else can be of more help.

I made an edit.

I tried to improve anatomy, shading, colors, and other things. I am terrible at drawing hair, so you can do that. You might not like it because i went for a different style, but you might be able to learn something from this.

You guys are nuts haha
Looking one day after posting the last thing: three different edits with completely other styles haha

Here are my tries:

I'm liking the look of your second version there the most, so I took the liberty to edit it.



You seem to be having trouble with your palette. Here I've added some more contrast and standardised the levels of saturation.
I don't expect you to be able to just make good palettes (as that just comes from experience), but you should be able to get some ideas of what works from this.
Equipped with these updates to your palette you should be able to define some nice forms.



Here is an example where I've shifted the lightsource to the top left.
I would urge you to have your ligthsource top right so that you do not get tempted to copy anything from mine.
