Posted March 20, 2017 This is a pixel icon I made for my DA account. Thoughts? It's the only pixel thing I've done that looks good, other than a gigantic pagedoll I made. It looks really good! It could probably use some more texture/shading/contrast imo. I think it'd really bring out the best in what you've already done. These are my favorite references and I find them really helpful to look at any time I start shading hair/fur on sprites and anthro-esque characters, maybe you'll find them helpful too.

Posted March 20, 2017 Aw man I have that fur tutorial! I've got to look at my tutorial folder some more. I did some more pixels I did a fox head from some lineart I made a while ago. Shading is obviously wrong with the dithering, but then I did some SAI cheater soft shading lol Then I tried to sprite Kila's tatterwing sketch. I didn't finish the sprite, but here's what I did do: Maybe I got to Dither-happy Share this post Link to post
Posted April 17, 2017 So I tried to make a dragon and I wanted some crits before I started shading it. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post
Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Uh I have no crits to contribute, but would anyone mind taking a quick look at this banner I made recently? The Espeon was pixeled off art done by Sugar-Free. Edited April 20, 2017 by Silverphoenixx Share this post Link to post
Posted April 20, 2017 I think the espeon could benefit from some more soft shading-- not just a little by the edges. (Like, the the ears, beside the sign, etc.) Share this post Link to post
Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) And so it shall be done~ I couldn't get away with laziness, but I'll admit it looks a lot better when I put in more effort Edited April 21, 2017 by Silverphoenixx Share this post Link to post

C: You can take this suggestion or leave it, but the top of the head gets a littleclose to white-white; you may want to use a different (pinker/bluer) hue to show the lighting at the top of the head. Or maybe add some shadows. It's mostly noticeable only because of the DC forum's white background tho. Share this post Link to post

Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) I decided to practice my shading. It's probably not DC worthy, but I tried. Could use some crits on this practice sprite to help me further my ability to shade. EDIT: Progress shots before it was finished Edited June 22, 2017 by Tsukoyami Share this post Link to post
Posted July 6, 2017 So I've featured this thread to hopefully make it easier to find. This doesn't pin the thread, but does put a nifty little star next to the title to make it stand out.

Could use some crits on this practice sprite to help me further my ability to shade. The anatomy is a little interesting, but the shading isn't half-bad! Not at all. I think the dark shades on the wing are a little stark and could use a bit more gradient and the lighter colored wing shading could use a bit of smoothing, as it has kind of a dithered effect in some areas, but all in all, I think you used a good range of shades and picked a good angle to start practicing with. =) Share this post Link to post
