Hello! Today I want to show you guys my entry for the 2nd pixel art contest.
I think that this week's theme was definitely more challenging than the previous week. For some reason I had a lot of failed attempts because crystals have so many faces and it was difficult for me to recreate values and edges in a pleasant way but I did my best and I'm satisfied with the results 😊 .
Here's my entry
So here's an overview of my process.
These were my references
For the third crystal I decided to try to draw one myself without a reference even though I did check here and then similar shaped crystals to get an idea of the colors I could use.
Purple Crystal
This is how I finished the crystal using the reference picture. It doesn't look as sharp as the reference 😅. It looks more like those broken in half geodes that expose a colorful inside. So I decided to experiment with the hues and ended up changing the crystal to a purple one.
Blue Crystal
It was easy for me to start this one by diving its faces.
And then patiently worked on the details.
Green Crystal
Just as with the purple one, I started this one with a different set of colors.
I first worked on the shape.
Then added shapes. At this point the crystal looked more like an egg plant 🍆. 🤣 (it would be fun for a contest to be vegetable or fruit themed by the way. 😋 )
Then started to work on the details.
For some reason I still couldn't see anything other than an eggplant haha so I changed the hue and I thought that green would look nicer and finally more like a crystal.
And that's it. My first attempt at drawing pixel crystals was challenging but I enjoyed it either way.
Thank you for stopping by my post! 🤗
