Sigh, yes, I'm a noob. I know this means I'm automatically unlikable and
I'm betting my question is going to make me even more so because I
haven't read every single thread in here to make sure it hasn't already
been covered. But I'm really tired and I'm really just looking for a
little help, so please don't be too hard on me. Okay, can someone please, PLEASE, tell me good ways to go about making clean, symmetrical, and acceptable lines for a pixel art piece? I'm sitting here trying to eyeball it and count pixels and it's taken me well over 45 minutes to draw in seven lines. At this rate, a single piece is going to take me months if not a year. There's gotta be a quicker and easier way to do this. I mean, I can't even figure out if what the math involved here is! Clean curves? How do I know if the number of pixels going through a curve is acceptable? Here's what I'm working on:  It's obviously nowhere near finished, but is it looking okay so far? Am I doing anything particularly wrong? Can someone help me do things faster? This lamp is just one part of a bigger picture. Thank you to anyone who comments or links. Sorry for being dumb :\ |

As Green would say, Newbie, not noob.  I usually just eyeball it. You'll learn what works and what doesn't though practice. |
