Description My third Tutorial. This is kinda like the second part of the Head Tutorial, here i show how to draw the body. This one is larger than the previous one, and i made 2 or 3 mistakes, i hope no one notice them...

..............

The point of this tutorial is to show how to make your own pixel character, from your fav anime character or Oc.
The base is 50x30 so it can be used as an Avatar/Icon.
Anyway, the guy i like likes that character (Kagami, from lucky star) Its gonna be a Valentines present (im making an animation or something with her). Since i was putting some effort on making her, i decided to make a tutorial on how i was drawing her.

That means.. Please dont copypaste and upload the result as your own "creation". Try making your own characters . Kagami was just an example. 

Kagami (Lucky Star) © Kagami Yoshimizu
-------------------------------

Edit: I made this tutorial back in 2008 I was new at pixels back then :> i know this has many mistakes and that theres better tutorials out there. (for the peeps who pointed it out via comments)  But look at this as a super simple beginners guide made by a begginner at the time..

Yeah we're making an RPG that looks a bit like Link to the Past. I downloaded all the sprites from zelda. My biggest problem is making them look the same from all sides Especially the hair All my hair looks the same, or ugly hahah
Thanks for the help anyway I guess I'll just keep trying a bit :\

eres de lo mejor io quiero aprender a ser pixel dolls pero no mas no creo poder, se requiere mucha imaginacion para poner los puntos o no se me parece dificil T_T

Gurinn In reply to Coby17 [2008-02-12 05:52:56 +0000 UTC]

No es tan dificil, lo mejor es empezar con una base pequeña.
Tambien haciendo cosas sencillas como conejos pixeles que tengan forma de circulo.
Es practica.
