Ello, before I start the post I would like to come up with several excuses for my artwork;
1. I studied programming game engines as such art was not really involved in anyway.
2. I have two left hands and I'm right handed.
3. I have ran out of excuses but stopping at two seemed lame.
Right, so I decided while fapping away I need a hobby and it would be nice to be able to make something that takes a bit of time and has a form of end goal so in my stupidity I decided art. However I cant really draw and have no practice with any of the techniques so I decided to "take/steal" artwork and try to convert it into a sprite/pixel like image. None of this is ever gonna be for profit but I do have a want to improve it.
So the reference I used;
I choose Renamon because i was aware of her colour scheme and I'm a Digimon fanboy. (And making a furry sprite, I hear its popular so more feedback xD)
That lead to this second stage where i just tried to break the drawing up into shapes then erased it to create black outlines. Then put in just solid singular colour so i could identify each area. This was the part I was like, yay it somewhat looks like something sprite-ish?
Now the next part is where I get clueless, I don't understand shading or the use of light sources when it comes to artwork. I understand the concept when applied to a ball im like look that parts white and it gets darker on the opposite but in practice to anything... full brain shut down. I just made it so if things overlap I make it darker and if its near the bottom its darker? Forgive me artists.
Now we get to the part I was like, Imma just move on to the detail additions because i forgot the nose because derp and purple lining/body art unsure how she got those mad birthmarks but they cool.
My post was made in regard to feed back due to my lack of understanding when it comes to shading, outlining and this alien concept known as dithering.
I have seen them and attempted each but when i try shading my brain essentially turns everything grim dark and it looks well.... covered in random shadows and any depth is lost. Dithering is the same it looks like I've mastered censoring and entire image.
Send Help.
