Hey guys I'm back. New tutorial today, this time we draw a microchu from Final Fantasy 13.
So as you can see, it's like a sprouting seed creature. I'm using 32x32px as usual. First I'll do a sketch, a bipedal circle with a mouth and eyes. It kind of looks like Pacman.
Try shading and adding the sprouts.
Add the fish lip.
Add seed texture and try a little more advanced shading. You can imagine the texture similar to something like a fuzzy coconut.
Fix the legs up, give it some nice contrast
And polish. The biggest changes here are the reflective pixel on the eye and now it also slightly pops out like a plushie button, I gave the mouth a sort of dimple like a fish, and made sure the sprout buds had enough contrast and shadow against the background.
And here is my progress with the Final Fantasy sprites. Thanks for checking out the blog!
