thanks! i'm gonna try that too then is it easy to manage when you've never ever done anything like this before? Imo, it is. I usually drsw with it Remember to use layers!! Also MBPP kind of requires you to create user so you can save stuff on your cloud (when saving to cloud, you are able to open same thing in different place/plsatform of mbps i just made an account yeah |

Essentially yes. But this is how I do it. I make a layer and choose a brush for the sketch so I don't go right to pixeling until I finished the new layer. The new layer helps from erasing anything on the layer where the base is on. After i finished the sketch layer I make another new layer for the pixel layer and start to use the pixel tool to form the idea. When that is complete You can delete the sketch layer. and then shadowing and so forth? Yup. Also try not to shade by just coloring in how the base is shaded. If you just try to just shade on your own you'll eventually learn to shade. Sometimes I draw a little sun in a spot where i feel the shading would be as well as lighting comes from that way it helps me get a visual of how it should be shaded. If that makes sense? If not you can always message me and ask questions if you get stuck. |

Back in my as we call it 'dolling' days when I first began pixel art I joined a pixel art community and a lot of their tips i basically learned from them though making my own palettes...that is something i bomb at. haha. I had a few teachers when i first started out though soon i lost contact with them sadly. |

I still need to recollect them all XDD Pillow shading is bad if you know what that is. And making loose strands for hair makes it look more realistic. and don't forget to shade the skin when you make hair and clothes. XDD -keeps digging more into the 8 years of pixel art memory file in my brain- |

Dont k ow how to make textures hhh when designing, I usually first make the skin I might just make an example of pillow shading so you know not to do it. Honestly i have no idea how to do a lot of things in pixel art. Like all of you are way better than I am haha. I don't even know how to do half the things you guys can do XDD Normally I start with a basic sketch of the hair and the outfit. I have a WIP of two of my oc's. but they barely have anything on really. I just edited the base a little and she has hair. Been debating on her outfit lol But i recently also made a CG drawing of her. Though she needs her hands and arms to be fixed. |
