Day #15
Theme: Himalayan Rock Salt
Time spent: 1 hour





Comments: So the idea was to challenge myself to draw as many chunks of salt as I could, in an hour, without colour picking. Actually looking at them now, they look ok when you zoom out a lot. So.. please don't zoom in biggrin

Things that went well:
- colours are ok, good job eyes

Things to improve on:
- shapes, shapes are hard

show spoilerhide spoiler

Comments: My first actual attempt at pixel art?
Save for all those times in high school where I copied Pokemon Blue sprites into an Excel spreadsheet.
I know it's not technically 8-bit proper so if you want to dock me a spirit pass for that, that's ok.

Things that went well:
- You can use layer adjustments and other brushes while doing pixel art?!?!

Things to improve on:
- WTF is perspective
- Commit to a palette please
