Pixel Joint Forum: Need some help with my first pixelart

Message

Hello guys,

I am making a building, but I am stuck with the roof and the board on the window.

I want to create some shadow and light on the left part of the roof and some some better shadow on the white board on the window.

I really tried a lot, but nothing worked out.
Hope you guys have a few suggestions for me. :)

Thanks in Advance,
Mark

PS. This is my first sprite/graphic I ever made, so go easy on me. :)

	Hey there :). I'd welcome you, but I'm new too xD. To me it looks like there are two perspectives for the main part of the PC in blue and the roof. Awesome work on the walls. I'm a beginner as well, and I can't do stuff like that yet :P. All in all, I suggest lowering the back of the roof to make it look more like it is at platformer view. Did you use any gradient tools?

	No, I did not use a gradient tool. I made the shadows by hand, though it took me like 2 full days to get them right. I'll think about what you said about the two perspectives. It sounds logic, but I am not sure yet if I want the building to be in a more platform view. My main focus for now is the roof and the white board with P.C on it. They just don't look finished yet, but I've got no idea on how to finish them. Any idea's on that? Thanks for your idea's already Arendule. Edited by DijkeMark - 28 April 2012 at 1:45am
