Back from the dead and started drawing again, what have my fellow pixel artists been up to?My most recent work is this one, took me 37 hours. Will prob. work more on it the next days.(I don't have the old thread copypasta anymore and I'm too lazy to look for the archive)

Smaller canvases 8x8 - 48x48 pixel canvases force you to learn things because there's not much of a choice, limited palettes force you to understand color theory.
>>7398534Some more of my recent work, took me 6h to make.
>>7399202thats fucking sick
>>7399510Thanks AnonHere is an old drawing I reworked, 63 hours of work put into it.
>>7399669quality shit anonneed me a game with this type of pixel art, got any socials so i can see more of your work?
>>7399747Thank you, really appreciate it, I have a twitter:@StrynisPixelFinally finished the middle eastern girl drawing
>>7399202stunning.How long have you been drawing? How long have you been doing pixel art? How long did you need for this? What's your process? Just draw and scale it down? Draw and then try to redraw it at lower res?
>>7399805Been drawing for 4 years, in which all these years were pixelart, never did traditional or digital. For the Mist one 6h, for the girl 28hours, for the dragon 63 hours.My process is a sketch of the shape then just rendering the texture and refining the shape. Idk how to draw digitally so I can't do any of that scale it down shit.Also current WIP
>>7399775followed, hope your account grows more, you deserve it.
>>7399775>>7399885also, stunning piece, i can render but rendering like this in pixel art seems like a shitload of work, all those 60 hours are pretty intimidating.
>>7399890Thank you!Out of those 28hours 21 were spent on the character. This was my second attempt at anatomy at a higher scale which was hard and I really took my time with it.This was the first attempt 2 years ago.
>>7399908great colors, composition and it feels pretty dynamic for a character literally just sitting, i feel like theres more unity in the shading in your recent ones, so i can see the improvement.
>>7398534what is pixel art, you ust copy over an image pixel by pixel?
>>7399836very impressive
>>7400071Yes, thats how any pixel art drawing is made. You are unironically retarded.
>>7400232i was just asking
>>7400658its usually pixelated art like this, but it was made in lower res with limited and calculated pixel placement to an extent, rather than picking pixel per pixel from reference.
>>7400658Ok, I apologize, I thought you are trying to shit on me for doing high resolution pixel art.Pixel Art is more like 2d sculpting than drawing. You usually start with the initial shape and you cut parts of it while refining it via detail.Downsizing an image and drawing pixel by pixel over it would probably give you braindamage from staring at blurry textures for an extended period of time and it wouldn't make the job easier but rather harder, since pixel art has certain limitations and you cannot translate highlights and shadows as you would in digital art.
Am I a pixel artist now?

>>7400993Thanks for the ref anon!
>>7398534
>>7401052You are who you choose to be
Is there any similar social media tag/community like #pixel_dailies but for sketching or drawing? Similar in the sense of popularity. I want to share my drawings on social media and get some feedback.
