Man, shading water is so hard, but I think I at least got the basic shapes in a little.

More fan art for y'all! I think I'm going to recreate all the iconic poses from the series tbh

More Jojo fanart for yall! JJBA is my current hyperfixation so there's a good chance my next couple post may be JoJo related. (I also learned that I can upscale my pieces when I export them in Pixelorama, idk why I've never noticed until now.

At this point, I think its safe to say that pixel art is my new hyper fixation, so prepare to get sick of me lol. It hasn't been long since I started doing this, but I think I have found the resolution that I prefer. 128x128 gives the perfect balance between the pixelated style while being able to add a decent amount of details imo. My preference for software has also shifted a bit. When I started, I didn't mind using Libresprite, but now that I'm making more complex pieces that also require a reference, I've gone back to Pixelorama.

This was a request from r/drawme of someone's cat named Cleo! I liked how this one turned out.

Hey all! I started making pixel art around a week ago and I'm enjoying using this medium so far! I decided to bite the bullet and make a more complicated piece. I will admit, I had trouble getting through this one as shading the tree bark was so bit confusing and I decided to switch up the style at the top, but I'm glad I did it!

I've been exploring more of the Fediverse lately and I've found that PixelFed is great for finding photos for drawing references, which is where I got the inspo for this piece from. I really struggled to shade this if I'm being honest, something about the ice cream cone made the values hard to make out. Plus,this canvas size was a lot bigger than my other drawings so it looks a lot less pixelated. Idk how I feel about it tbh.

Hello all!

Given that Windows 10 is going to be unsupported by the end of this year, I was planning on switching to Linux since my laptop doesn't meet the requirements to run Windows 11.

My current laptop is an HP Pavilion x360 and by far, my favourite part about it is how it's not only a touchscreen, but the hinges allow the laptop screen to lay completely flat just like a tablet, (the interface even changes to a more tablet ish version) it's great for watching movies and drawing. When I switch over to Linux, I want to be able to keep as much of this feature as much as possible. I was planning on installing Elementary OS as it's designed to be more 'plug and play' as I'm not super tech savvy. When I was looking into if converting a touchscreen laptop to Linux, I read that Ubuntu has some touchscreen support which Elementary OS is based on, but I'm not sure how good it is, as all the Reddit threads on the topic were pretty old.

Whats the touchscreen support on Ubuntu like now? If you have a touchscreen laptop running Linux at the moment, how responsive is the screen? Is there other distrios that support touchscreen that are don't have a steep learning curve?

Thanks!

Spring is here so it's the perfect time to draw more earthy/bright-coloured pieces! I may have started off my pixel art journey with Pixelrama but I think I prefer Libresprite tbh...

( I should also mention that I also post my art on Bluesky, I go by Angie-543 https://bsky.app/profile/angie-543.bsky.social)

I made a piece with Miku but it's too small to upload here lol. I think I might draw the rest of the vocaloid crew...

I download Pixelorama because it was recommended by this community and I was inspired by the post here. I like making pixel art so far! I think I might make some more detailed pieces once I get the hang of it.
