I humbly submit my first work to the gallery :)

After seeing a picture of Lucille Ball for the first time in a long time, I realized that she's an underrated icon (and beauty!) and thought her face would make for a good piece. 

Here's a WIP.

I would also like to thank Snader and dpixel for giving me pointers that helped me quite a bit. I've learned a lot from this project and can't wait to start my next!

EDIT: This was my biggest reference. It was the closest thing I could find that had the expression I remembered her most by. And this is what inspired me to do it to begin with. She looks much more glamorous in that one.

nice work, it reminds me some Leisure Suit Larry girls, back in the 90's

Very nice for your first gallery peice.  You seem like you learn fast.  Looking forward to seeing more.  Remember, contrast really benefits pixel art.  You'll hear that a lot around here.

@Mis-BUG:  Thanks for the feedback. The initial sketch was really rough so I did have to do a lot of refinement to it. I'll probably be more careful about that step in the future. I added my references too.

hey there, welcome to PJ

Nice first piece. There are lots of issues with this, but that's a good starting point. One important thing (over pixel art techniques you're going to lear sooner or later) is face anatomy. I've seen the WIP stages and it seems that you have to pay more attention during the sketching phase. The final render will benefit very much from this.

By the way add a link to the reference image (if you have used one). ;)
