It looks like you just attacked it with the spraypaint tool? Refined textures look much more appealing. :) ------------- Hello - I'm new here. :) |

| Will you be using all of the colours in your palette? At the moment, you're only using the oranges, greens and black/greys, but you have blues, purples reds and pinks. If you don't plan on using them, delete them to get rid of redundancy. |

in pixel art you carefully define each pixel, with spraycan you can't decide yourself where you place each pixel, and i do hope you're going to change what you've got on it now, because this is just random scribblings. ------------- http://dragcave.net/viewdragon/G3eW">

What is the building made of? What is its purpose? How old is it? Is it in good repair? Does someone take care of it? What architectural style is it in? In what part of the world does it exist?
Right now it's just a brown box with a door; give it an identity. Then you'll have a much better idea what texture to give it. ------------- |

The middle east is a big area, and "that rough brown texture" could be almost anything. You still don't really know what you're drawing. Are you talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe - adobe ? ------------- |

I'm not going to speak on your colouring, because it's obvious it needs work, and so many other people are much more qualified to advise you on that~
So I'm going to talk on the shape of your building~ Firstly: What is your constituent block size? Or, simpler, did you build this up using a simple iso-block? Second: from the looks of your diagonal lines, you've used an imperfect block pattern, or in other words, one which doesn't align properly to form a smooth uninterrupted line. Third: If you didn't use blocks to build up to this, where is it going to be used? In a game? Is this supposed to be tiled? Or is it just a one off art piece? and fourth: The door. Look to some real life buildings. You will see that the door rarely reaches half way up the wall on the front of a building. This is for support issues, mostly~ So I think the first thing you need to work on, before splashing some colour on there, is a nice, working base for your building~ It's a good mock-up for showing where you want to take it, but far from finished. Good Luck~ |

| the adobe is what the house is kinda going for. I just don't know how to make it look really good with only 3 colors of brown. I don't really wanna make the color count higher than that. So i'm at a loss at how to do it. |

Good Luck~ very good advice. I don't mind the door height since it's just a video game but i have fixed the lines allot and will probly post what it looks like currently once i get an idea how to color it |
