E-Man returns to pixels

[TheShyGuy]

Your humans can still use some work. The head looks like it's too much to the left instead of slouching in front of the character. There isn't a significant difference between the male and female.

Don't try to draw every detailed human curve that you think you can possibly fit. Pixel art's more about approximation than trying to be exact. Think of volume instead of lines or 2D shapes. In general, the humans do not come across as being in 3D space. This is due to the shading and the pose itself. So it comes off as flat and 2D. I can't quite explain how you might go about "drawing in 3D...?"...hmm try thinking of the object as a 3D object, along with its poses. Don't think of poses as "left or right", think of them with the mindset of actual space. Once you understand this, you'll realize how much more space you actually have than you previously perceived. I'd say practice understanding how you mind works and try to 'spill' out your thoughts on paper...........sounds funy heh. It helps to be experimental and when something works, write it down to remember. Doing so allows you to see how clear you may or may not actually understand something.



My edit can use some work but it helps show a few things. The main changes being an easily readable pose and weight distribution, and a more feminine head, body and a more personalized pose. I don't expect you to use the edit, but you can. I only skimmed the thread so I'm unsure if she is even what you were going for =/
