Trying to remember how to draw
Thank you! Before I started making pixel art I mostly did digital painting so it was easier for me to transition by starting with larger images. I'm still learning to work on a smaller scale!
I started with a rough sketch and just put more lines and colors on top until I was satisfied with it. I don't have a recording of the process but here are the separated layers from the image I posted:
"Hell Hound"

I think it was over 100! I wasn't really paying attention to the palette size while I was working so I went a bit overboard. For example, I wanted particularly smooth gradients on the face, so there are about 15 colors used there and nowhere else in the image
Had to do a little drawing of one of my favorite bits of medieval swag. Byzantine-style robes with what appears to be a Mongolian cloud collar over them. The dude's name is Jovan Oliver (an honest to God John Oliver), and he was a mid-14th century nobleman under Serbian emperor Stefan Dušan.
