This is way too low in the ranks.

I think we get to the (party people) essentials here: most people want something simple, a motif recognizable – to somehow 'understand' the image instead of just 'experiencing' it. The pic is cool.

Keep 'em coming _b

The first stage is really nice. Love that people share their really messy and straight-forward sketches like that! Nice end-result in you typical style.

This is so great! Reminiscent of Activision games from the late 1980s. Beautiful form <3

Wall of text warning! (7z file contains steps)

From time to time I am experimenting with bringing my expressionistic drawings to pixels. It’s an interesting process that carries a few challenges; the biggest being the fact that the low resolution and colour restrictions don’t work in favor of the expressive strokes drawn on the paper but rather force uniformity and stylization that I am not always keen
on going ahead with.

Well, I have to be honest and claim that I prefer the raw conversion (photo-to-pixels) you can see in step01 picture, as that’s more related to the original drawing. On the other hand, the original drawing is abstract, while the pixel version is, obviously, not abstract any more. So, as things progressed, I took the decision to balance things between defined
and raw (from conversion) materials within the same pic: huge stylized forms on the one, grainy surfaces on the other hand.

In the end, it’s those lines that go across and around things, defining and containing and connecting the various little stories that are happening within the picture that do the trick. I like those lines. I feel it’s the most convincing way to go for making ‘expressionistic pixel drawing’ if that can ever be a thing.
