Trying to get better at pixel art by practicing a lot of 2d, instead of having to make a model every time to practice on.
Any tips are appreciated!

You should make "fuzz" more complicated. Like not just white

#

Make shadows for nose, change mouth.

#

let me look at it more carefuly

#

the overal silloute of everything its good i think

#

nothing really big to point at in the matter of proportions

#

even the hand looks good, surprising

#

but something that i want to point at its the colours

#

the tones

#

and the ammount of tones on each colour

#

its a very inconscistent

#

for the redhair you used 5 tones

#

and the buzz only 2

#

same with the blue part of the clothing

#

that adds a bit of inconscistency

#

and makes it look poorer and not really good

#

i really like what you have done here

#

with the texture of the buzz, and how it looks like hairy and the shadow proyected on the fabric

#

it looks very good

#

but it could use more tones maybe

#

to add more dept

#

and also to make the transitions less heavy

#

the hair could use less tones

#

is it a hair right?

#

now im looking more at it and it looks a bit like a hat

#

adding more tones as transition in between the shadows and the lightest tone

#

also maybe if you want to do more enfasis in the texture of the fabric you can do dithering

#

its like when you do shadow with little pixels

image.png
#

like dots

#

like a chess board

#

i think it might look a bit better this way

image.png
#

since the light seems to come in this way, i think a bigger part of the cloth should be on the dark

image.png
#

like this

#

we can use the new space to add more details

#

this will help to make the shape of it be more better

#

the shape of it i guess, would be like a cylinder?

#

a bit twisted

#

more like an elitic cilinder

#

since the shadow casted by the fuzz. is closer and also its more direct, we could make it be harder black, using our darkest tone

#

right now we have that big empty space of the middle (ignoring the white decorations)

image.png
#

it makes the light look flat

#

so what we can do its to add some pixels to make it look hairy

#

like this

#

that way you help the shape more

#

isnt it fantastic?

#

now for the white lines, you can do the following

#

first make it flat

image.png
#

delete all the previous shading and lights

#

and then since its a pattern on the fabric i guess

#

you should make it follow the shadows of the fabric

#

just like this

image.png
#

see

#

now you can do the same with the fuzz

#

add more tones to it

#

more detail

#

and depth

#

dude im reallly sorry but i ran out of time

image.png
#

i was just about to do the same series of steps i did on the coat to the fuzz

#

im really sorry

#

btw

#

that red that i signaled

#

i think it looks out of place

#

because it looks more like an orangish red

#

instead of a purplish like all the others on the pallete

#

i see that you tried to do an inverse hueshifting there, and its good, but you have done it wrong because you only did it in 1 tone

#

and it doesnt works like that

#

it just makes the colours look inconsistent

far, really far
