- Save it as a PNG - I'm not really sure you should have the canvas that big, considering the characters are so small - Your palette at the moments seems incredibly dark. I'm not sure how you're going to work with it, but best of luck. ------------- |

ok, PNG. Also the canvas has to be that big 240x240, or is that just the size you can't go past or limit? |

If shading were defined as "making a triangle in the corner of each object darker," I would agree. You need to shade to the volume of the body parts. ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">

Your arm is not a rectangle but a cylinder. You draw things like rectangles, then add darkness in a corner instead of shading them to show their cylindrical nature. A picture is worth a thousand words, therefore http://www.itchy-animation.co.uk/light.htm - this tutorial is worth a bunch. Read it. Apply it. Don't do drugs. ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">

Well... given that it's night and the moon is behind the figure... unless you have another light source - my guess is that you won't be seeing much detail. Except for maybe some light bleeding from around the edges of the silhouette. |
