Description omgg decided to go ahead and upload this though i have like 50 other things i really should be doing hhh sorry amg
not sure why I decided to handwrite things in but I think the pictures should be mostly self-explanatory? Also I think I forgot to take a screenshot between 2 and 3 ahah so that's why there's such a big difference OTL

uhmm so those tips I should be putting in~
  •  look at other tutorials!! There are some really helpful ones liiike this basics one (gimp) and this really awesome one
  •  this is the way I shade and stuff and definitely noottt the only way or the right way so experiment on your own!
  •  I've started not liking bases anymore ahah so my more recent pixels are sketched on a 300x300 canvas before resized to 50x50 and pixelling from there
  •  try to use lighter/brighter colors when pixelling so it looks less... murky? like most pixel artists use a really light yellow/almost white for skin and yeah ahah idk how to explain it well OTL
  • for a more interesting color palette, generally try to use more bluish/purplish colors for shadings and yellow/red for light. Say your main color was some sort of salmon pink, for shading use a more magenta-ish color, refer the tutorial I linked above for better explanations ahah


oh goshhh currently i really can't remember all that I wanted to say...... so I guess I'll just add on to the list when I remember
also the character in this belongs to , not me, so hh thank you to Mitski for letting me use her Haruki  

ALSO I know it's easy to see the base and eyes and the exact pixels and yes you can download to look at it closer, but please don't copy any of it~!!
sorry for this ugly tutorial thing ahah so feel free to ask questions I hope some of it helps!! not even sure why i made this
