Hi there! I'm learning pixel art and I'm currently practicing line art. One of the mini exercise projects I'm working on is drawing a horse, so I found this cartoon as a reference:  So, here's 4 passes inspired on the big horsey on the right (not trying to make an exact translation to pixels), before I got kind of blocked and didn't know how to improve on it (without adding color):  So, any feedback is welcome! I'm also wondering about:
Any comments are much appreciated, thanks!  |

I'd say it's satisfactory. The purpose of lineart isn't necessarily to flesh out an idea to perfection, but to be the base to build upon. I think your work here presents the idea well, without being too complex. As you've said, it doesn't seem to call for more tinkering, the next step would appear to be blocking in color. ------------- http://punaji.com/">

Hey, thanks a lot! Yes, I think I was focusing too much on line art when I should've moved on to the next step, but I'm trying to practice different aspects of pixel art separately. I'm starting out, and trying to learn as effectively as possible :)
