Day 29
Extra close up of her face because i like the way it turned out, but it looks weird zoomed out.
Also, i kind of gave up on her tail whoops

Hi! I have recently got into pixel art as I have been learning to develop games and I've been following you for a bit and I have some questions!
How do you create coherent color palettes? I always find myself tweaking it and I'm sure it takes practice but your colors always look perfect, what magical powers do you behold??
Do you do any sketches to get shapes right or do you do it as you go? Again, I'm sure practice is the answer, there's no magical solution, but everything I do looks kinda stiff and dead
Anyway, thank you! Your art is wonderful!
honestly i started by using premade/mono chromatic palettes mostly and focused on values and composition. once i felt more confident in those, i started using color palettes taken from photos, films, or photobash multiple photos into one then color grade it so its more seamless. now its easy and natural to just pick colors. i think it’s important to understand the basics before trying to get too complicated, values/hues/color depth/composition/tones/hue shifting are all very helpful to learn about when being self taught. another tip is when the art is done ill usually add a color filter over the whole artwork so the colors vibe together better.
and yep i always sketch :) usually ill sketch with pencil, take a photo then draw over that. i love the feeling and organic feeling drawing w pencil gives my art. i def recommend bc it’ll help with the stiffness! i also use a drawing tablet and that helps my art flow more organically too. but thank you!! enjoy the journey of learning pixel art 💕
