The pixel art is good but not great enough.
Could you clarify in which way? It know it's not amazing pixel art, but it would be helpful to know what specific aspects are lacking.

Thanks for the comments guys!

It's not a true update, but I was looking through old stuff so I might as well show a comparison shot here! If anyone is worried about not being good enough when they start out...don't be.

[snipp]

With the color pallets on the pixel ones, I'm not saying using a small amount of colors is inherently better, but it does take some control to limit your colors and match with other shades.
The water reflection in the 2009 piece is so cute!! I'd really love to see you do a draw-again-meme of that one with your new 2016 skills!! Especially since I really enjoyed watched the speed pixel of the Cleffa-- really interesting to see your process!

The headshot pixels look great too-- very retro haha! Though I think it would help if you added a highlight color-- It's hard for me to describe but I feel like there's just not enough "shine" on it, you know? Either adding a highlight color or, since I know you like limiting your color palettes on pixel works, maybe limiting the use of the lightest shade of pink to the upper half of her hair? That said, I definitely like it better without the strand of shading in the middle- it looks nice in large solid pieces IMO! I also think it would help if you nudged the mouth over to the right about 3 pixels? Right now it seems a bit too far to the left!

I hope your week improves Nina! ;v;;/ Really looking forward to the next update!

Oh Nina I really like this one.

I would going to hug her ( Joke)

But the drawing is even better if you put some background shade XD
what shade would you recommend that would make the drawing better?

Brownish colour shade and the light source is from upper right.
Do you mean a direction shadow on the background being cast by the figure, or do you mean actual shading on the figure itself?
I thought you meant just a background color, which I could get behind, however I think adding any dark shading would ruin the light pastel feeling that the image has.

Ahh Nina this latest piece looks really lovely! The looseness really works with the way the flowers have been drawn in a way where I feel like it looks neat instead of messy like usual-- and the nice crisp green tones are really refreshing. It's probably just a sketch, but the unpolishedness is quite charming here!

Yeah, it's just supposed to be a sketch so I can make it into a real illustration later, but I really do like the way it looks right now!

As a King and self proclaimed sub admin (maybe someday after a millenium lol) i checked Nina san's artwork and i can say some words about it. First of all, i could say that you are a big fan of Super Mario probably since you like to make flowers with mouth reminded me of petey piranha lol. Secondly, 50 hours per week? So under my royal command i name you Mikaela (Michelangelo female lol) you seem to like art a lot and your passion can be seen behind the essence of each art which is very cool in my opinion. Pure and nice art Nina san grats! Keep it like that and don't you ever change :)

P.S If you feel flattered about my words np almost every girl feels like that lol. Anyway, good luck for the future arts Nina! And i'm sorry that i'm not good at judging art like other people :(


By my friend Master Snowy an honorary masterpiece :). Thanks a ton!

Pretty much made no progress at all on this image, just redid the clouds from my WIP in the WPC. Posting it over here because I don't feel like triple posting!

Keep it up with this because it's a nice little scene. I find I don't improve much unless I actually finish my WIP's for the most part. I can see this one being a pretty tough piece to tidy up and fill out but it has enough potential to be worth it. Stick with your first colour palette too, the hues are nice but certainly considering adding some shifting to the purple ground to add more detail. This is one scene I'd love to see finished!
