Oh Yes!Now i see what you mean.

Let see if i can explain with my english hehe,I'm not working with any kind of smoothing or anti aliasing

because those portraits are meant to be used on mugs and frames(i sell then with the portrait on it)

so i put it in a zoom of 500% and smooth and aa on this size don't look very nice,and my clients don't uderstand abour pixel art and they think smooth and aa are "messed".

But now that i see your example i'm in love with it *-*

The hair is good. You did a nice job there.

 

I meant the hair on the face like the eyebrows mustache and goatee and where the hair meets the face on the sides only.

I think using a little bit of the lighter browns would smooth things out.

Again, its a nice portrait.

This is a very nice, clean and attractive avvy.


Technically however it really could have been way better had you used the 2 lighter hair colors to smooth and unband where the darkest brown meets fleshtones.

The odd lighter color in the neck is just wierd :/

The black lineart in the collar is jaggier than need be,
Top line would look better as 11122522111 and bottom 3211123454321123
