Its all just practicing and experimenting...its what we all do and have done.

Good, just keep trying and pratice, the result will be worthed.

Thank you for that bit of information. I have looked into tutorials, but can't seem to do things like dithering or AA. Also, I have posted a thread about this head being used on an isometric body.

You seem interested in learning to pixel so please give it your best to learn everything you can and use the forum for feedback help, c+c and all kinds of feedback...be sure to check the resource section too while there.

This piece is very simple, even for someone new to pixelart, and is added to your gallery to encourage and support you to improve. Normally this would be considered far too simple and the public queue voting for these type of pieces is generally not good. It is still possible that members might complain with sufficient rationale and this might get sent back, k ;)
