I decided to see if i can make pixel art avatars. Not bad as far as first tries go, but i probably shouldnt have drawn in 50X50 size, instead make it bigger and then resize.
What I do when I make icons is I resize it down to 50x50 and I trace over it in Photoshop. I trace over it with the pencil tool when I do my pixels because I can't draw a pixel 50x50. It's difficult to get the anatomy correct.
