What Am I Missing?

I am very new to this, trying to make art for a game I'm working on (think Fire Emblem) because I've gotten enough of the game developed that my poor art is really bothering me and creating a major roadblock.

Is it the shading? The lighting? The contrast? Lack of detail? Any feedback is extremely appreciated!

Harumi (OC) 1 bit / monochromatic

My OC, 1 bit style. Decided to try making her full body, since previously i only made a portrait of her. It got quite complex (i'm a beginner), so i reduced the resolution and simplified some details, which fortunately helped me finishing this piece quicker.

Manga artist new to pixel art

First of all, hello! I'm new to reddit, and since i have some experience as a manga artist (did a few commissions, nothing fancy) and i'm a big fan of world of horror game, i wanted to try to bring my art to digital following 1-bit pixel art style, because i think it suits manga lineart (and also because it may be easier than going straight into traditional pixel art :P)

This is "Harumi", an OG of mine, and my first attempt at portraying her like she would be like in the WoH context. Any thoughts? Tips ? Any feedback would be appreciated. Specially on dithering.

2 hrs 3 months ago (r) vs 10 minutes today (l)

I started pixel art 3 months ago and have practiced literally every day. This is not at all an example of being a great artist or anything. Neither are of a detailed character to begin with, not very polished, could use higher contrast color values for shading etc. But me circling back to this little guy I made around day one, and being able to doodle around and improve him so quickly a few months later felt like such a win and a reminder to just stick in there even when you dont notice your growth in real time. I feel like im producing way better work than this now but still a bit intimidated to share, but wanted to share this progress for encouragement!

World of Horror OC

In the game, as the character loses sanity/stamina, it starts to look hurt. How is it? Convincing? Enough detail ?

PS: Poor Harumi 💔

Help please! Looking for feedback on poses and readability

Hello everyone! I recently started learning how to draw characters and would very much appreciate any feedback on:

  • Readability: I struggled a lot trying to separate depth and I didn’t really know what colors to use, especially on that last drawing.
  • Poses: Do they look natural? How can I improve them?
  • Anatomy: Does anything look off?
  • Anything I might be missing.

Thanks for the help!

Bisogno di aiuto

Ho bisogno di un grandissimo aiuto, devo fare un regalo a una mia carissima amica. Avevo in mente di farle un ritratto in stile pixel art e per allenarmi ho cercato e cercato.

Ho trovato l'app 8bit photo Lab, è abbastanza buona ma non riesco a trovare un compromesso tra qualità e quantità di pixel. Visto che Massimo vorrei fare un formato 128 o 256

Per fare delle prove sto usando una foto di dragon ball è questo è il risultato.

Sono aperto a suggerimenti consigli critiche e tutto.
