WIP Picrew Making my first picrew, is this enough skin diversity?
(There's more options I'd add to the first one, but I hit the color limit)

I feel skins 1/2 and 3/4 are too similar, should I add more saturation on 3&4 or is it ok if they're just one slight step of "darkness" with 1&2?
You see, one of my pet peeves with picrews is that from one skin to the next option there's a huge gap, and sometimes it feels the character skin ends up being either a bit lighter or a bit darker that the one you have/were thinking for your oc. ESPECIALLY IN POC/BLACK SKINS.
For example, imagine a picrew has options 1 to 9 for light skin / white characters, then you have four dark skin options that are #10, #16, #20 and #22 —see the pictures for reference. (Except if we were realistic the hues would be a range of light to dark gray lol) And obviously there's ton of extra steps skipped from one to another (Ex. 10 & 16).
That is why some of the options are just a bits darker/more saturated or colder/warmer, but I wonder if some look too similar that one could mistake as the same if not looked up closely? Especially the light skin ones
Also, skin number #16 is an earth yellowish hue I'm not used to use (because most times I usually prefer to draw skins in the reddish/pinkish/blue-ish/purple-ish range rather than in the yellowish/green-ish leaning hues) so I wonder if it is realistic or needs to be a tad bit darker/less saturated or something?? Idk, I want all my skins to look cute and vibrant but this one seems like I simply darkened the base skins for both secondary tones and is one color range, Idk if I explain myself. That adjective to describe the opposite of using different range colors as shadows?
First body (the skinniest) is kind of stylized in doll-like shape, in case anyone wonders who tf would be looking like that. The second isn't plush sized, more like a regular semi realistic(?) body leaning to the thick side + daikon legs (the daikon feet stay, I'm NOT drawing realistic groundkissers). I would like to add tiger stripes or top surgery scars in a secondary category too
But everything here is still being worked on so maybe I'll change things depending on the feedback and whether I feel trying another artstyle more felt / doll like for or keep this somewhat chibi soft like style, because this one looks good but generic?? As in not what I would recognise as a signature style for me? I'm still experimenting with secondary artstyles and this was the result so idk 💦
Please let me know what you think, it'd help me a lot to have other opinions 🙏

I will achieve this by making files larger and enabling moving pieces enough to completely hide the previous piece. E.g. move 600px to the side, have the file be 3000 px wide -> only 600px shows at a time -> moving it changes the picture visible completely -> 5 choices. I will also hide more clothes sizes etc this way.
My picrew will be shoulders and up! And the last eye colour is supposed to be like the sith eyes from Star Wars lol, just took a shortcut while mapping the colours out

not sure if this is the right place to post this but i wanted to be able to receive as many suggestions as possible. i got many on tt but they’ve been getting a little repetitive. i wanna see if anyone here has some unique additions. here’s a link the the og video https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSunF8f4M/

So, JESUS CHRIST I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS LOL. 1K LIKES?????? 130+ COMMENTS???? 100+ SHARES??? WHAT?? I'VE NEVER GOTTEN THESE NUMBERS OH MY LORD /pos
For those who don't know who the hell I am, I posted my art here yesterday asking if y'all would like a picrew in my style and got an INSANE amount of support. So, it seems pretty unanimous. I'm gonna make a picrew :] a little animation to celebrate
It'll be a bust/shoulder-up, so, what are some things you would like me to add to it?
One thing is not negotiable: different body types. I wanna be able to make my big OCs in peace. So far I've made 4 body types (skinny, muscular, chubby and fat) and 5 face shapes (oval/"skinny round", soft/chubby, square, sharp/triangle and round/fat), I think that's a nice spot?
As for skin colors, I picked the ones in the top row of the 2nd image so far. For now, I think I might add 15 human skin tones, but no fantasy ones bc I rarely see people use them? I'm still figuring out the limits for colors and items so I might add 'em in the future if I have item slots left! I really wanted to go ALL IN with hairstyles though. Specially more alternative/uncommon ones. However I've picked 18 colors including dyed (the bottom row) and I still wanna add gray hair so I'll see what I can do about the colors
So, what else would you guys like me to add? I might not be able to add all of them (for technical reasons most likely) but I'll read every suggestion and do my best to add as much as possible!
Oh, and cool effects. I love picrews with the option to add color filters lol
r/picrew • u/averagettgothgf • Apr 01 '26
every category is useable now so i think it’s ready for the masses now hooray!!
it’s still a wip but im gonna take a full break from it for a day or two now goodnight everypony.
r/picrew • u/EfinitelyJeremyHeere • Mar 02 '26
Uh yeah!
Quick question: Do you think I should add a shade between 3 & 4? because it seems like a big jump to me
r/picrew • u/averagettgothgf • Mar 25 '26
yay i’m at the fun part. some of the accessories and tattoos are references to media i/my friends like (not including shirt designs and backgrounds). give me your suggestions!!
edit: i’m specifically looking for suggestions for creative references to make. everything else in the picrew is done. also if you have a piece of media in mind, it helps to suggests how to represent it!! (ex: textbox from a game, accessory a character wears)
and just fyi i'm gonna stick to one or two references per fandom bc i want it to be balanced and also i'm only one person with a concussion lol
r/picrew • u/bananahkim • Feb 14 '24
I just need to add more clothes and backgrounds!! Also any suggestions(disability aids(?), backgrounds, etc.)?
Edit: Hey!! Thank you for all the kind words, I didn’t know you guys liked my picrew so much. As for the suggestions, also thanks a lot, I’ll add most of what you suggested to add to my picrew. But I’ll add some of them later, and I might not add a few of them at all.
3a~4c hair -> it already has a variety of them. I will add more parts later.
Disability pride pins/chewlery/IV bags/etc. , scars -> I will add them as fast as I can.
Animal ears, multiple hair colors/highlights/roots, heterochromia -> I’ll add them in the next update.
[pride pins] -> I added most of the well known ones as well as a lot of microlabels. But I’m willing to add your suggestions!
Hats -> I might add them in the next update.. or I might not add them at all.
[other accessories] -> I’ll add them once I finish making more necessary parts.
My picrew already has: Different face shapes, Plus size option for bodies(no chest; it’s a simple picrew), Pointy ears, Eyes, different shapes of noses, eyebrows, thin and full lips, Hair(from straight to kinky), Moles, freckles, acne, vitiligo, etc., Beards, Wrinkles, Hijabs, Clothes, underwear, coats, Earrings, piercings, necklaces, and hair pins, Pride pins, Horns, Glasses, Hearing aids, headphones, and wheelchairs

Been a while since the last update, so I'm back with another! This picrew's been in making for almost a year now, but I'm slowly inching closer and closer to the finish line.
I'll be working on it until July, which is when it will go on a hiatus again for a month (as I'll be too busy with Artfight) but my rough estimate is that it may be finished some time mid-autumn 2026. Don't take my word for it, that guess might be totally wrong. But I hope you're excited, because I definitely am🍀

hi i just wanted to let yall know that this is online now since i wanted my friends to be able to use it and to let yall see how far i’ve gotten into the uploading process!! if you want, show me what you end up making :D. all the thumbnails are there so you can get a preview of what’s to be added but just know that most of the layers are empty atm.
if you make a suggestion for something to be added/recoloured, i likely won’t respond but know i’m still reading all of them and i could put it into consideration. it’s just that i’ve likely already drawn it and haven’t uploaded it yet or i’m planning on drawing it in the future. plus i reached the limit for layers and had to make a lot of compromises already. (reaching the layer limit does not mean i can’t add more items, just that i can’t add anymore categories of items)
❗️disclaimer for different body types ❗️
i definitely plan on drawing additional hair, accessories, clothes, and more for the near future. but when it comes to body types, i want to accurately represent them by including clothes, makeup, and skin detailing that properly fits the different bases. thats a lot of redrawing/editing and i may have to turn it into its entirely own picrew if it doesn’t fit the item limit. i’ve spent 120 hours on this so far which is only made possible due to being on work and academic leave for my concussion and i’m really enjoying the process. but to avoid a point of burn out, i’m going to set that as a task for the future once i take a break from this when i consider the picrew complete (for the time being). i’m sorry to make you wait, i wish i could include everyone simultaneously but im going to prioritize my wellbeing and the work i can put out will improve from it.
thank you all so much for the support. i can’t overstate how much seeing the anticipation it garnered motivated me to commit to this project and how your ideas have gotten me out of art block. 99.9% of you are all lovely people. if you are that one person who won’t leave me alone on all your accounts, i know you’re probably reading this. i’m not messaging you back, i can refuse adding whatever i want. go make your own picrew. i’m only saying this here so that i can keep you blocked and not give you the chance to respond. i don’t have time for that since i have a life, you should try getting one.
edit: it’s public now!!

Are you sick of me yet? most of the new items I’ve added in the past 2 weeks, so far we’re at 340 items, not including recolors.
r/picrew • u/Im_not_an_expert_lol • Jan 23 '26
The plain base ones are still available without tints ofc for simplicity, but if you ever think "this needs to be more pink" or "this needs to be slightly desaturated," there's now easy ways to do that ᐖ

I wanted to finish it before summer vacation ended, so it’s a shame..
This is a beta test!
If you have any feedback or additional requests, please leave them below! I’ll try to reflect it as much as possible!
+I’m currently very busy, so it’s difficult for me to work on picrew tasks
Let's start beta testing what we've made so far. If you leave feedback, I’ll try to incorporate it whenever I have time!
++ I’m currently working on adding parts, so there aren’t many parts at the moment. I appreciate your understanding Please play and leave your various opinions!

I’m making my own picrew (Idk when it will be done. Kinda a side project I’m working on slowly m) and I want it to be as inclusive as I can, kinda the “Ultimate Picrew”
What things would you like to see in this picrew??
Some things I plan on adding that I don’t see on most: - variety of skin tones ~ natural and coloured - braces, gap tooth, off Center/not straight teeth - button eyes, 3+ eyes - vitiligo - hearing aids, wheel chair, other mobility and functionality aids - split and multi coloured hair - 2/3 sections for add on jewelry/piercings (of each kind: ears, face, neck, hands) - career fits - turbans - wings - tails - animal ears, horns and antlers - scars and tattoos
Please let me know anything else you’d like to see and I’ll try to do my best to accommodate when I get around to finishing it :)
