First add color, then add big, very bright (i.e. white) spots where light should be, and them pillowshade those areas with intermediate colors.

What is pillowshade?

like you shade with regular art... Those tutorials are just made for kids that don't understand how shading works.

Are you that one bitter anon, who always shit on everybody in the pixel thread? You never post work or never tell why something is bad.

Not this guy, but this .gif author's pixelart seems too clean in comparison with i.e. DOS games pixelart, so it may be offputting to some people.
Otherwise it seems like a nice start for beginners.

"Projected shadow" and "self cast shadow" are exactly the same thing. Also they have exactly the same edge quality in the picture, the latter is just a lighter value. What is this crackpot smoking?

So, this IS a pixel thread, right?
I'll assume so, here's my very first sprite.

Feel free to shit on me all you like so I know what to improve.

first be able to do what you want in normal resolution. it doesn't get easier just because its low-res. you don't magically know how to draw in smaller resolution.

whatever you can do in high-res, you will be able to do in pixels.

Which resolution should I use? I was planning on remaking the character anyway with it's full body visible.

Sauce?

[Anonymous No.3490099]

>>3490036
focus on learning how to draw first

[Anonymous No.3490103]

>>3487138
Agreed
But if you look at the average skill level of people that even attempt pixel art he's miles better than those that share his shit. Everyone just gets enticed by his active posting and the fact that the guides are animated. The reason for that is the majority of people trying to get into pixel art are just bad artist that don't realize you still need to know fundamental skills and try to piggyback on the 'charm' or think it's easier.
