Example One

I decided to create a small pixel art illustration of my nameless puppet.
This time I wanted to make a road worker with a drill, as a sort of logo for the project.

I relied heavily on the attributes and the pose of the puppet, because facial recognition is limited.
I came up with a drill, a road sign (that I didn't use), and a helmet.

In this example, you'll find the creation process from start to finish.

Once the idea was clear, I started to sketch.
The sketch was done quite fast, which, most of the time, is a good indication that a happy result is on the way.

the complete example is available in the commercial version of this tutorial.
