first time attempting to do terrain type pixel art.

sorry if its TOOO SMALL, i just happen to be practing  how to  drawing water. i ended up drawing up a landscape instead so well( it was very... dull looking since i left the grass area totally ' GREEN' , cant help myself but to add grass and stuff and this is wht i ended up with) .... sorry x.x ill do a bigger one next time.

well i do finally get it after studying abit up on ' light' and look at some more real life picture.

to say i fail to mention x.x i made this base on an overhead view, so.. it wont really follow that principal does it ? ( like how u would see in most rpg)

but thanks a lot  , i did learn a lot, it will prove to be useful.

see it like this... the further something is away from u the more air is inbetween, which acts as a kind of filter , damping the colors and also making them brighter, just like fog, but not that exaggerated

actually it normaly gets darker towards the foreground while the background gets brighter and a bit of a blueish tint ( ...this is also clear from inphy's edit)

maybe this illustrates....

totally agree with inphy... take a close look at that edit...

dont go bigger next time, keep the canvas small so ull actually learn more about pixels and how they work together

The water keeps reading like a wall of jelly, probably because it looks like there is a horizon. Look up some images of beaches, and you'll notice that the deeper it gets, the darker it gets. Now it looks like the upmost lightest part is actually sky showing through.

The size is fine really, bigger does not automatically equal better. It's a good size for testing things out without having to redo large areas.
