Does this count as pixel art

Yah, it does. There is a blurry line, in that you can make pixel art without actually doing it pixel by pixel, and you can also make super high res pixel art that actually was done in a pixel artist way.
So.
I say it looks 32bit-ish, it's pixel art. Good enough for me.
>>
>>3029747
The day I start arguing about what is and isn't pixel art is the day that someone needs to drag me out of my house and fucking shoot me.
It's a wip but the face is finished, would like some advice. I'm using photoshop for first time. I'm also a beginner so any other advice is welcome.
Thank thank.

For example, the primary colors (in additive color mixing with light, as opposed to subtractive color mixing with pigments) are R, G, and B (Red, Green, and Blue). The secondary colors are C, M, Y (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). Using basic knowledge we know that:
R + G = Y
R + B = M
G + B = C
The secondary colors can also be added to make up primary colors:
M + Y = R
C + Y = G
M + C = B
In further detail, Blue is the inversion of Red and Green; Green is the inversion of Red and Blue; and Red is the inversion of Green and Blue combined:
B = -(R + G) = -Y
G = -(R + B) = - M
R = -(G + B) = -C
This can be further proved in the following:
R + G = Y
R + B = M
M + Y = R
M + Y + B = M
B = -Y
Now, the question that I have is how do you calculate addition or change of luminosity and intensity of color when two colors are added together? For example, Y + B = white light. Y has luminosity of 98, and B has luminosity of 30. They do not add up linearly because white light has a luminosity of 100.
Does anyone know anything about this?
I also have more questions which I will bring up later in the thread.

Simple, don't use luminosity.

IF YOU ARE A /BEG/INNER IN ART, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice. We should not have to make new threads or post in the Drawthread with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make someone proud.
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS:
#1)
>screenshot the image and post that instead
#2)
>change camera capture settings to something smaller
#3)
>send to computer and resize in MSPaint
→ →
There's a new (and cleaner) sticky in town! You can see it at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwaXKU7ev6Tw_or__o8ARpUb6r2rCZYJGqwSFV9AD98/edit#bookmark=id.15jx3pyuimvj
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

Today my dad tried to talk me into joining the navy and doing graphic design for them. He said id be able to relocate near LA and work an office job as a graphic designer. My end game is to be in animation, but this seems like the perfect gateway to meet other artists and sneak my way into the industry.
Has anyone else heard of this? Anyone been through it?
I swore id never join the military but it seems like a golden ticket go me. Paid housing, paid school, ez money.

Joining as a Private?
Go ask around /k/, you should do some research. There are a few artfags there, but I don't think they had that "golden ticket" of yours. You won't be dealing with artsy ppl, learning that hierarchical "sir" professionalism. PT and you're not exempt from deployment.
I wouldn't, times are weird to gamble all that. Be prepared to out your career on hold for 3 to 4 years.
>>
>>3027348
That was pretty much my response to him telling me all this. Ive always been against enlisting, especially coming from a military family. As hippie-dippy as it sounds i hate the idea of having to change how i look and listen to orders. Plus the drug tests.
>>
>>3027806
Well i mean, you gotta listen to your client/art director/producer/teachers/instructors/etc
But yeah I would just give plenty of examples of professionals working where you want to work. Show that your career is successful and that he won't have to be worried about you. Just be prepared to work very hard. You wouldn't actually gain any practical, creative criticism towards your artwork when you're in the army. It's the wrong environment for the wrong profession. Military is quick, tight, well-oiled structuralized strategizing at ultimate efficiency with no complaints. Art/Design is about questioning and interpreting physical and theoretical ideas in order to portray your view of a specific subject matter in order to appeal to a specific audience.
And you get to be part of the artistic culture of the world, including /ic/!

Don't worry about it, I bet you'd feel exactly the same thing if you gave up on art and did what ever else you've had in mind.
Remember that most people just spend their free time playing vidya or watching tv/youtube or god forbid twitch.
>>
Huh I'm also quite bamboozled by the amount of stuff I've simply gotten done in the last one week or so after I just decided to wake up every morning at the sime time, drink a cup of coffee, sit down start drawing and just treat it like a job.
I've gotten more shit done than in the last 6 months. And I'm not even doing it every day, I have every second day dedicated to a not directly art related project.
>>
In the end, what will you regret more? Fully committing to art and never making it, or looking back one day and wondering if you might have made it if you had fully committed?
If you choose the former, find peace with the fate of every hour you spend doing art from this point forward as an exercise in futility. Broke, chronically ill, mocked by strangers, shamed by your family, depressed, starving and all of the above. You have be willing to die a painful death with nothing to show for it.
Look into the abyss of forgotten, ridiculed and unrecognized artists. If you're ready to proudly call that your home, you're ready to start.
