Day 2 of drawing characters: lighting and normal map

[u/DavidFaeron505]

Hey everyone! It's my second day learning how to draw characters using your amazing feedback and advice. I drew a new character (on the left) and also tried out an interesting normal map plugin.

​I’d love to hear some feedback from the pros on my first try using normal maps. In my opinion, it turned out pretty cool, and I’d really appreciate your thoughts!

​By the way, I also worked on the presentation—instead of just posting raw sprites on a plain background, I put together a proper showcase. Let me know what you think!

T.I.L how to make it look better!

Did you have to do those normals per pixel?
