Coloring Sprite Heads: Did I Improve? (∩⌣̀_⌣́)

#1 Post by フリークェンシー »

I think that I got a little better. I had a stock pile of OCs lying around, in hopes to be used for sprites, but after a couple months and lots of practice, they make me cringe! So I quickly sketched and colored a new version. What do you think? Help as always so leave your thoughts please.

Thank you a lot (●´ω`●)ゞ
hmm...tips I think I used was definitely try something new each time and redraw old pictures, they're the fastest way to show improvement

- add texture
- Don't focus on one thing at a time when drawing or you'll only improve on the one thing you focused on (for example I always drew eyes so they're the only thing I took time to draw which is bad news)
- flip the canvas (it teaches you to catch mistakes quicker)
- use a saturated+darker color for airbrush shadow (to avoid flat images)
- always, always edit (if you edit your image often it'll teach you to catch mistakes) I prefer using photoshop for this one
- don't use too much blur which I did in the second one ('o' )

of course never change your art style everyone loves a unique artist! Just add new necessary techniques.
