Pixel Joint Forum: (WIP) Big Head Men

Message

   Well this started out as a few random drawings i was doing during a maths lesson because i was bored to ****!! Soooo i started doodling and because i had recently started pixelling my friend suggested that i scan them in and make them into pixel art!  
So here i am!

I started out doing my hannibal lector bighead dude as it seemed he would be easiest and tbh it was (btw this is a WIP as i think you've guessed so i started with the lineart ^_^) but even the lineart is still a WIP. the head needs balancing and refining to make it more ''head shaped'' because at first all i did was run the mouse over my pencil lines . Making it not the neatest of lining thats for sure. However i must confess i did try and pixel out the head at first, trying to use the penciling as reference but it just wouldn't turn out right. so in the end i followed the line with my mouse and worked from there.

Well i spose i best show you my work so here it is.

C+C very much welcome 

I will probably start colouring this in the next day or two 

but for now.... SLEEP! 

EDIT: ooh also btw! not trying to start a collab or anything here but if anyone else would like to have a pop at one of these to show me there skills please do!.
based on my sketches so far im hoping to be doing hannibal(above) Jason Voorhees, Scream Frankenstein and possibly Dracula, idk yet.

	My suggestion to you is first of all, is to learn your anatomy before you try to mess with it. Because right now it just looks like someone doused his head with helium. Learn proportions, and anatomy then mess with it. Make sure to make the lines clean, and have everything fit together as a whole. Good luck with it :)

	@Pippy: If you read he said it was a big head series of people. Anyway, i think this looks very good and has lots of potential. Just clean up the lines and use stepping. Haha got that off jalonso Its where you go from 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 in pixels if you understand.
