Gotta love that my first fanart of my favourite book series is a joke idea that I got while in a convo about how cucumbers are fruits

[mistymooons]

Suddenly remembered these memes I recreated a year or two ago while I was going through a art block

Trying out some new stuff in preparation for art fight ꈍ◡ꈍ

Going back to my roots of temporarily not doing pixel art to try to learn from the great Chiyu

Wanted to try drawing in a more shoujo-esque style (·∀·)

Saw someone on YouTube try to follow a Bob Ross tutorial using pixel art and I thought it looked fun ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/

I really liked the pixel style potrait you made for the fields of mistria wiki! do you have any tips on recreating the mistria pixel art style?

oh this will be fun! i have a few sprites i'm working on that we can use for examples. for the sake of time, i won't touch on the very basics of pixel art - like not doubling up on pixels, etc. let's go!!

1. if you're not usually a pixel artist, sketch your portraits in the fields of mistria style at your usual size/with your usual brushes first! you can just resize them when you're ready to pixel:

2. carefully study the art style before and as you're working on it! there are a lot of key little details that will help the art feel more , such as the (usually) single tone shading, general jewel tones of the style, and interior lines:

2.5. keep references on the same canvas as your portrait to check for style/size consistency:

3. keep one window zoomed out so that you can always see the bigger picture. with pixel art it feels easy to get lost in tiny details, i find it really helps to see the art in its final size as i'm working - it's very grounding:

^ this portrait was the first one i ever made, and i learned a lot! i'm not a pixel artist by any means, and a lot of what i do is trial and error, but i LOVE style studies. i hope that this was at least a little helpful! 💛

Don't know why but I went to bed dreaming of a cat donut planet last night (:3[」_]

Some fanart that I made a while ago for a game on Itch.io :D

(As you can tell from the bg, I have since learned how to dither properly ヽ(≧∀≦)ﾉ)

And here are my most recent attempts of pixel art, drawn up just for my Tumblr profile (≧∇≦)b

Just some of my first attempts at pixel art, tried messing around a bit (·∀·)
