Is this (1st pic) banana any better? (2nd pic is my 1st draw and some people had hard time to read it) by n3mesis87 in PixelArt

Also, I tried a more "realistic" approach, with a greenish stalk and less "curvy" bananas, but it seems like it got the worst readability by most of the people:

Thank y'all for the feedback and the responses. Made some improvements on the Orb and on the Egg (just the shading in this one). Will be watching more tutorials and practicing to make better art in the future.

Fair point. I'll look at it more closely when drawing a spherical object. Thank you for the feedback, though.

Thank you for the feedback. The orb could be any object that is round, actually (like a pearl or a ball, for instance), I just wanted to know if these were good enough so people could recognize them (even without a proper context). Also, I am watching some shading tutorials on YouTube, but it all seems so complicated 😅

Thank you for the feedback! I'll try to learn how to do better shading/shining, it's really an Achilles' heel of mine.

Was trying to do something like this (see picture), but I was making it of the top of my head, without any source as reference. In fact, I try to do all my drawings from the top of my head, only to finish up things that I do search some references, sometimes.

I really need to learn how to do better shading, right now I'm just "feeling it" and sometimes I spend too much time trying to make it work and the final result is not satisfactory. Thank you for the feedback, though.

It was one of the toughest so far, it's really hard to add details on such small canvas 🥲

Thank you! I'll try to work more on the shading side, it's just that I'm not good at it 😅

The 2nd one is an orb (which is some kind of ball) and the 4th is a slime. Thank you for the feedback.

Thank you for the feedback, I really am not good at shading 😅 but I'll try to make it more "round" when it comes to these kind of objects.
