    Well, I suppose I'd pick a couple of colors, figure out what kind of lighting you want, like where the source is, and I'd start just with solid colors in each of the squares.

    Hey scarf :)
    I was wondering if you knew any tips for shading and shadows?
    I'm trying to give some 3-d effect to this castle tower (made it myself :) )
    Spoiler:




    thanks in advance :)

    Well, as long as it has something attached to it it won't look like a disembodied baby pineapple head. Maybe you could add some highlights to the legs like on the head.

    I tried to do the legs, I made a scratch, and the rough idea seemed appealing. But, as I predicted, I failed to produce good legs :P .

    I tried to make the legs seem like they were covered in straw, but it didn't look how I anticipated it.
    I also fiddled with the shade of the leaves and the pineapple, but that failed.

    Maybe you could give it stubby arms then?

    I've decided to get rid of the legs, and keep it like a face in a pineapple.
    I've got great idea for a sig, now I just need to sprite an apple-baby and orange-kid ;) :P

    Hehe, I was kinda aiming for the baby look.
    I'll work on the legs when I get home from school,
    and adjust the stripes :)

    You gave it people-colored skin and hair so it looks like a baby in a pineapple. XD You should make the zigzags more angled, too. Since the whole thing is a little sideways the zigzags should follow that. And maybe make them stand out more. Keep working on it. I want to see what you do with the legs.

    I completely forgot about Ludicolo, thanks :) .
    And I want the legs to be... i don't know, kinda like a baby's legs when they're in their Pajamas's,
    so maybe rounded.


    I tried doing this, without legs, and I am proud, but I can see I shaded wrong :P .
    I'll keep trying, thanks :)

    ¡Hola!

    Well, whatever you go with just make sure that you keep in mind that it's a round object so the lines/diamonds/whichever will curve around it. What kind of legs are you going for? Detailed with toes and knees or blobby round legs? If you're going with blobs then the most important thing will probably be shading to get them to look right, but if you want something more detailed then you'll want to make sure the angle it good too so it doesn't look like the leg it sticking out sideways or something.

    i meant the little diamond like shapes,
    but I think stripes may be easier :) .
    and I need a little help making it smother and positioning of the legs (i want one leg in the air and one of the floor, like /| or something.
    i thought I'd ask the expert spriter Scarf for help ;)

    Shouldn't pineapples have zigzags instead of stripes? What kind of help?
