Dont flip one side horizontally, make the legs do something different, its just a basic thing, no shading at all. ------------- http://www.gmclans.com/forums/index.php?showuser=300">

Do you use a translator? If you state what your native language is, maybe a pixeler who speaks the same could help you in a more specific way.

If you're going to keep a background, then make that aswel and AA the robot to it. If not, then i'd try and make the edges less bumpy, especially around the legs. i think all you really need to do now apart from that is to find yourself a lightsource and build up some shadowing and highlighting, to give the piece some depth. ~ -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

Dra Chan speaks spanish.. Let's hope she sees this thread ;-) And you need more shading than that. |

Yo hablo un pocito de tu idioma.
Try to shade from a lightsource, and imagine how the light would hit different parts of the robot and create shadows and highlights. It helps to shade in blocks and then smooth it out sometimes. ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">

Carl, no deberías hacer los dos lados del robot iguales porque se ven
monótonos, y deberías hacer las piernas diferentes, porque se ve como
si el robot se va a caer así. Yo te aconsejaría primero hacer las
líneas y despues sombrear el dibujo. Pasos: 1. el lineart, definirlo y refinarlo tal como quieres que quede 2. llenarlo con los colores base 3. Escoger una dirección en donde le cae la luz y escoger tonos claros y oscuros del color base y hacer bloques de guia de luces y sombras 4. refinar las luces y sombras 5. ponerle dithering si lo necesitas en las luces y sombras 6. El anti aliasing.....tanto en las orillas del dibujo como en el sombreado Deberías avanzar un poco para que recibas más ayuda :) |

Agregale mas detalles, no solo pongas una degradacion de color, porque se ve pesimo en los trabajos de pixel, trata de buscar tutoriales que te ayuden a sombrear metales y tambien recuerda que la mayoria de las veces los metales tienen una pequena luz en su sombra, como si fuera una segunda fuente de luz, eso los hace ver mas brillantes. Si no me entendistes con eso del brillo, preguntalo, yo te puedo ayudar.

Language seems to be a barrier here so I'll use the universal language of pixel art to help. In the last hour, I made this robot just for this purpose: Hope that helps you with the colouring. ------------- |

Zlothien483 me sirve de algo el brillo que usa en el segundo dibujo. Lawrence Thanks, I am looking at it to understand slightly more of metal |

dont use dithering on metal. it gives it texture and metal is shiney.

Originally posted by Shark dont use dithering on metal. it gives it texture and metal is shiney. Metal is not always shiney. Metal can have any sort of texture; glossy, matte, brushed etc. For example on my robot, the grey parts are brushed and the gold parts are glossy. Even shiney metals can have colour blends in the reflections which can only be achieved with dithereing if there's a limited palette. ------------- |

Perfect! Study how the light gleams off of the metal. How the metal beams a vivid light onto the gilette razor handles. Giving the blue a sort of shimmer. Someone hook the dude up with the link to the metal tutorial to show him how to properly do it. -------------

Yeah, because if you want to do it metal textured, you'll have to use the tutorial and other references, seeing as that main ref seems to be made of plastic. ------------- http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

Trata de estudiar el modelo de la foto, y las sombras, y miralo de varios angulos para que veas como se sombrea correctamente un metal. Tambien observa esa guia para sombrear metales que es buenisima |
