Famous triangles

[Marth]

Nobody told Picasso he needed to add more shading and details to his art.

When he was being trained...yes, yes they did. That's how he became what he was, moving in and out of art schools, being trained by his father, where he was critiqued and told how to improve. He didn't start off as a cubist, he grew to that through classical training, etc. Not to mention some of those works were just piles of shit and he KNEW it, and sold them to unknowing customers who were ever so pleased to own something with his name attached to it. When he became famous he never took critiques well, he had a napoleon complex.

That's all beside the point. Just thought I'd correct you here because if you're gonna make statements like that you better know what the fuck you're talking about.

Now onto you're work. I'm gonna be honest here these are awful. I'm sorry, but they are and patting you on the head is not gonna get you to improve it's gonna keep you in mediocrity. I want you to improve though so here we go....
To start;
-You had a poor composition choice, triangles are very restrictive shapes, and making characters out of them is quite hard to someone as inexperienced as you, and in general almost anyone.
-you chose characters who didn't fit you're template in the slightest.
- you used the line tool
-you didn't even you the line tool correctly to make your template because the lines don't even match up correctly....
-These aren't pixel-art, these are... ms-paint drawings. Honestly it reminds me alot of stuff I posted on here back when it was pixeltendo 6 years ago. so I please hear me out, we can help you improve but you need listen and not only look for the positive. I was like you at one point, I'm guessing you're rather young, and i was back then too and hated crits but learned to listen and improved greatly. We are rather experienced here, we have professional pixel-artists here, some of the top pixel-artists from sites like pixeljoint(a very reputable site might I add), and just generally a very knowledgeable member base in almost every field of art. It is VERY RARE to find a community like this, especially with how well tempered we are compared to what we used to be. So take what we say with consideration and care, we want you to improve.
-lastly scrap these start over. These are a lost cause and trying to improve something that isn't even pixel-art is going to get you no where.

I hope to see you post something new soon, something that actually is pixel art, and I hope to give you critique on that too and watch you turn into a decent and eventually a great pixel-artist. I also recommend looking at our pixel-art dictionary topic, it'll help you understand what you're doing more.
