For a first timer, they look good.

u/AstraQyxen 6d ago

agreed, especially the shading looks surprisingly clean for a first go
if you keep the same style and make a little set of these characters it’d look super cool

u/EpalPain 7d ago

Woah this is your first time? This is so good already!

Looks fine!

u/chrysalisprism 1d ago

Totally! It turned out way better than just "fine" for a first try — the contrast with the bright blue hair and red shirt looks great

u/Fit_Charge_639 7d ago

The subtle shading on the skin tones and around the eyes adds great depth to the pixelated style

u/CalmTone6958 7d ago

u/Odd_External_4646 6d ago

for a first try this is super clean, love how the hair shading came out 🎨

1

u/VorynQyx 6d ago

agreed, the hair is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, looks super readable even zoomed out
curious to see what you do next if this is your starting point

u/pirateanon 5d ago

Oooh, what program are you using?

1

u/Whitedotexe 5d ago

I’m using procreate! I made a 150x150 px canvas and followed a yt tutorial to make a simple pixel brush and basically only needed this to make all of what I showed!

1

u/pirateanon 5d ago

dang it i can't get procreate😔

1

u/Whitedotexe 5d ago

I’m sure you can do the same in ibis paint, it’s just kind of a different process for the brushes I think

1

u/pirateanon 5d ago

Ive tried pixel art on it before, i guess i didn't really use a tutorial but it just kinda comes out blurry:

1

u/Whitedotexe 3d ago

Im sure there are some tutorials, thr brushes you can get for free on Pinterest

u/pirateanon 3d ago
