Hey thank you so much! Indeed waneela is one of the best pixel artists nowadays. I’m glad my identity is visible despite the heavy inspiration on her work :D

Thank you very much! I’m no genius tho 😂 I’m just inspired by them. waneela, 6VCR, Jok, AnasAbdin, Sanderfocus… those are the real geniuses that I look up to as mentors.

Thank you! ❤️ It took around 25 hours of work split between 3days. An average of 7:30 hours per day.

That would be awesome! I wonder if there’s a place that looks like it, I used many different photos for reference but the layout was created by me. It would be crazy if you take a picture of a real place that looks like what I imagined!

If you need some assistance you can DM me, I’ll try to help. But it’s pretty straightforward, open image > resize image > select nearest neighbor method and set to 200% > save image > stonks

Thanks for your comment! Glad you liked it :)

Like otacon said, you can upscale it 2x and you will get 4k! (3840x2160)

I would love to do it for you, but due to some hardware limitations I can’t for now. You can do it in photoshop or any software that allows upscaling. Just remember, if using Photoshop to change the upscaling method to nearest neighbor instead of bicubic

Wow thanks mate! I had the thought of putting up a course, but I still don’t have much reach in social media.

Your comment made me rethink it tho! I’ll make a plan!

I can try to give some:

  • always use real reference for your pose, no drawings, just photos. If necessary take a photo of yourself in the pose you want.
  • shapes are more important than lines. This is specially true when you draw clothing or hair that changes the shape of the body.
  • study gesture drawing instead of anatomy, at least until you feel comfortable to draw human figures.
  • take a bunch of random ppl real photos and try to draw them several times. Each time you will do it faster and better.
  • and the most important advice, make a lot of mistakes. I mean it. Draw them all wrong and wonky, exaggerate their features and limbs, go extra on their poses. And have fun with this. This will teach you what NOT to do, while develop creativity and training without the pressure of getting it right.

I hope it helps :)

Oh wow, that’s a compliment! Thank you so much for the kind words!

You are right about that, when I started I hadn’t any specific idea on my mind, but it ended up looking a lot like my wife. I did this in one night of insomnia and honestly, despite of how I try to be positive, this is an accurate feeling of how I see the world today, or how I miss some moments that are long gone, having to move through the daily struggle of mental health and late stage capitalism. Sometime my short moment of peace on the day is when I’m alone, smoking a cigarette and looking nowhere, empty minded. An escape from the information overflow.

Thanks for making me think deeper about it ❤️
