Schoolboy

[Ryudo]

Based off of an older and taller version of myself. First sprite since I broke my hand and now that I can't do anything im spending my week with spriting and drawing so I wanna get better this week.

I'm not sure if I'm getting anatomy right so I need a bit of help of that.

Any crits wanted, edits are cool too.

It looks good to me so far. I haven't taken the time to do specific measurements of anatomy to see if it all lines up but as an overall it works pretty well.
- His left arm may be a little short though. I believe it should come to around mid thigh.
- Should strap may be a bit thin.

Make sure to keep in mind lighting when rendering the rest of the piece. Seems to be a top right light source.

Let's see how this piece turns out.

...just doesnt seem like pixel art to me O_o
apart from that the shading you added is barely visible.

[cyberjobe]

What about now, does it look like pixels to you? 

[philipptr]

looks colour-reduced now O_o

[cyberjobe]

Is that a problem?

Well this is a pixel-art forum, we do things on the pixel level and not with airbrushing/color reduction.

am i looking at the same thing as you guys?

i see an anime type sprite, the hair, face, and shoes shaded, and the shirt and pants with some poor shadows...

where are you guys getting a color reduction from?

Ok, I just thouth the final result is what matters. Nevermind...
