Just what it says. 18 colors, maybe 19.

Solid sketch. Although it is too big, so pixelart and low number of colors wont make your artwork any better than simply painting it in photoshop. For larger images I think index painting techniques would be more suitable, they are like pixelart, but with large palette and gradients allowed. |

Nice work! What is your aim with this? To turn this into pixel art? It is hard to convey sketchy-ness and pixel control at the same time, but not impossible. Or do you wish to retain this loose scribbly many-colored version? |

For larger images I think index painting techniques would be more suitable, they are like pixelart, but with large palette and gradients allowed. This was drawn in Dpixed, which does not even allow TrueColor but still has 'traditional media' style tools. This marker tool that was used uses pressure sensitivity to determine which of the 16 colors I selected to use (which were in a pre-defined gradient) but it doesn't erase and draw new color if the color underneath the stylus is darker than the color being asked for by the pen's pressure. In other words, if you lightly drag the stylus over the dark brown areas, then 'behind' the dark areas color will show up, but you will not overdraw onto the dark areas at all unless you push down harder with the pen and that's assuming that the color you are drawing over isn't the darkest color of the pre-defined gradient. Basically, you can draw as if in Krita or other digital art medium but with an indexed palette. It also auto-dithers, but I was kind of enjoying the non-dither pattern look. :) I also made a post already about what I think of the term 'pixel art' and how the term pixel is misused and the overall community/scene is lacking a lot of historical and technical context or else it wouldn't have settled on this term for the style of digital art. |

I can undertsand those who are devoted to work on the historical aspect of digital art and want to lend others a hand as to how the medium as a whole grew to be what it is today- to lmit oneself to a medium purely for vanity reasons is inherently asnine. but if we we're to be true to the actual sources where CGI was originated instead of developing the desing philosophies that spawned from the technical limitations of these days we'd have to invalidate anything that was not specifically drawn on a Koala Pad using a C64 or an AppleII and i doubt people can truly afford a working AppleII nowdays just for the sake of historical accuracy. ------------- I ate leel's babies |
