Description
A really, really simple tutorial, showing the good and the bad. I hope my good is actually, erm, "good", lol. But I'm pretty sure the bad is bad, atleast in my opinion. xD; Just try to see the differences. Sometimes just seeing the differences helps people improve their art (they see stuff they next would have seen before). It's worked for me in the past, so I thought why not give it a shot to make a tutorial showing that. Yay!Done on MS Paint!! xD

thanks for the tips. the black one makes sense. i saved this as a jpg through adobe photoshop, which saves it as high quality. i find saving it as png or gif loses the quality (png changes colour sometimes, and gif goes all dotty). i didn't add descriptions of what i was doing because it was meant to be a joke

Well, yeah. Point.
Ah. Your program must have GIF dithering swwitched on.
I'll admit that I'm amazed at the quality of the JPEG.

Well I wrote that a description, like Vybeosa mentioned, would be good but it's still a nice tutorial

Yeah maybe a description, like Vybeosa mentioned, would be nice. But I think all in all it's still a good tutorial! I am the bad example, I think

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I used this one while making my first pixel submission: [link]

With these things, it is not the shading that is hard... It is the actual outline...
Nice tut. Can't say it helped me but it is nice.

This is great^^ And very helpful! I like how you showed the color pallets...what a difference between good and bad :3 xDDD I love the zoomed out captions, too.

haha cute! Having a comparison like that is pretty helpful. Good choice to have a simple subject

Excellent work. I honestly don't know what's wrong with the actual colors of the bad one, though. They seem like they'd be good for a more vibrant look.

Just the shadows.
Also: Vibrant colors = less realistic.

Traumatised from the colour, that cherry is...

Ah see - I thought it would be all in the outline, but it's in the colour and shading.

I like the right one better...
Just kidding. Nice idea.

In my opinion, tutorials without crazy explainations are the best to follow. I can easily tell how I should and shouldnt do with pixels in this tutorial, one of which being not to "connect" curved areas. Gives it a nasty solid look, and we dont want that. ANyway, I'm not gonna try and explain the whole thing XD Even though I'm not into pixeling, I can understand this perfectly. Nicely done!

Do you know how hard I laughed when I saw the "Bad Shading Cherry"?
THAT FACE JUST CRACKS ME UP.

Oh.. my.. I do a lot of things on MSPaint.. Could you look at my latstest work? It's done in Paint aswel.. So here comes my question then: could you put that same thing up but now for faces?
It would mean a lot to me! I can never color my work in paint decently!

Oh wow, I think your pixel work is awesome! Atleast the outline is, as far as I can tell.

Hah, I need to be able to xD When I draw on paper I suck so badly. Thx!
