My first try at pixel art - Yin - 05-09-2009

It's supposed to be Gypsy from DC. Please let me know what you think. It's my first time and I KNOW I'm very bad at shading, so just lay it all down...

Well, I kind of edited it, the head was a bit big someone said, I'll leave them both up.

I can't help you for anatomy things, but I think there's a problem with the right arm (her left one :0), maybe it's too short, the hand makes me feel the same way.

The left leg (her real left D: ) seems also weird. The lines could be cleaner, and the outline stops at the knee, it feels weird. Maybe you could continue the outline, but with a lighter color... Except that, I don't really see anything shocking, just try to clean the outlines.

Oh, the red thing around her could use a little lightning on the left ("red thing", yeah, I don't know the word :x). Nice boobs though, and I like her right hand (except that the bracelet doesn't really look like surrounding the wirst). o:

Fix this and you could work a little more on shadows/light effects on the jacket/legs. I think your light source is not really clear... It's coming from upper right ?

But, hey, I think that's nice for your first attempt, yep.

Thanks for going so indepth! I will fix these things as soon as possible. And post my results. You are right, I know I'm terrible with shading and light sources are the main issue with me. I'm always confused about that what should be light and dark. But trust me, she's come a looooong way from when I started, I learned a lot from those websites you told me to check out.
