So, I made a girl. She's not really based off of anyone and I'm not sure about her age, but she's cute. The painting isn't based off of anything.
Thanks! :D
P.S. You just have to practice. I know that's what everyone says, but it's true. I've been making pixel art since I was about 8. I recommend looking at images and trying to recreate them as pixels before trying to make a pixel sprite from scratch. Pixel art is fun and worth practicing for. And, it helps knowing how pixel images work because then you can make better statues of characters in Minecraft, if you play it. (I made a Minecraft pony over on DeviantART: http://rockint765.deviantart.com/art/Minecraft-Fluttershy-454358746)

Wow that's really good! I've always wished I could do pixel art and make something of myself, but I'm no good at it.
