Pixel Art With Magixe

[Magixe]

Hey there everyone! I'm going to use this topic to show my pixel art (practice or actual stuff). Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Anyway, to the stuffs!

Okay, so this is just practice. I'm using one of my bases to make me doing a bunch of stuffs. So first: A winking animation!!!!





Next, me putting my arms into my pockets or behind my back!

First off, I'm glad you're trying pixel art! Many people get too intimidated to even try, so kudos to you for putting yourself out there. That being said, I think you should work on getting the basics down first. I suggest So You Want to Be a Pixel Artist. It's a very good, fairly straightforward runthrough of some of the most common beginner mistakes.

The winking animation is very cute, although I don't know what's going on with his hair ^^;

-(6_6)- Ooh, you're right. I'll fix the shading in the next picture. But yeah, my hair is actually blue -(O3O)-.


Ok, next animation! On this I fixed the hair, and it's supposed to be a troll/derp/who me? face.

There's still not really any definition to the hair. Have you tried looking at hairstyle references?


Edit: I'm one of those people who learns better by example, so I thought you might benefit from my take on the hair.

I assumed you were going for a spiky sort of look? I tried to keep it as close to the original shape as possible. It's not exactly perfect, but maybe it gives you a few ideas?


I also tweaked the colors a lot. A good rule of thumb is never go near 100% saturation. Also, if you can't tell where certain colors begin or end when you zoom out, you definitely need more contrast.


Edit2: Came back and did more edits because I felt like I didn't do the hair justice. Then somewhere along the way they became a bloopersaiyan.
