I start my Pixel art journey without any experience. And while learning via youtube about canvas size, color palette, shading and other. I start drawing my little something just for practice. Its nsfw art, so mb i can have some feedback and tips from F95 community.

So this is amazingly good. Like professional level.

My only advice, and where I run into complications, is canvas size vs animation complexity. I ended up scaling down my pixel art heavily just so I could animate things on any reasonable timeframe.

If this is just a single image pixel art, totally awesome. if you plan to animate it... this is going to be tremendous amounts of work to get done with even a handful of frames.

Yes, its single art. I know im gonna fail if ill try animate this(mb simple idle animation:p). Thats why i gonna do this one in 128x128 and 64x64 and then gonna animate it. I have problems with little details like head, hands, foots. Maybe shading will help, but right now this head looks pale to me, dont know what to do. And i probably dont use all the tools Aseprite have. Coz every pixel in this one i placed with Pen tool and Bucket tool:D

It is honestly amazing.

It is depressing for me when someone is like "newbie here, no experience with pixel art, take a look" and I expect something like a ball with shading and then I see something that dominates everything I've done so far in pixel art. :ROFLMAO:

I can't help but feel like you may be new to pixel art, you are a very good digital artist at a pro tier level!

Im rly flattered:giggle: Coz when i start from little things like 16x16 and 32x32 its much harder for me do drawn something with so much limitation. For me anyone who can make pixel art shine in this canvas sizes is Pro.

One time i take my little sister tablet and tried draw nose and arms... That was bad. I have a little problem with joints so stilus and tablet not my thing at all.

You've got mad talent then.

I want to, but I also want to launch properly when I'm more ready, so for now just know that your stuff has blown my junk out of the water and I'm just sad. :ROFLMAO:
