I started the same way. I am slowly figuring our avi anatomy one size increase at a time owo
I got into pixel art from recoloring items on gaia for fun. Then I thought "this doesn't look so hard"......
oh how wrong I was.
Your picture didn't seem to want to load.
Make the outline disappear? I haven't really figured out how to do that. Do you have tutorials or anything like that or perhaps an example or two? I often find myself copying menewsha pixel art into MS Paint just to see how it was pixeled but I'm not sure what to look for in making the outline disappear.
