The document describes several experiments the author conducted to practice and improve their pixel art skills. They traced existing character portraits and sprites to experiment with colors and shading. They created character profiles showing portraits, classes, levels, and HP. The author also drew a character riding a horse holding a sword. They used Photoshop and drew with pixels, experimenting with different colors. In a reflection, the author indicates they will draw inspiration from Fire Emblem games for the final product's character designs, art style, and color palettes.

1. Experiments
Your Name

2. Process
• I decided to make a little like text box,
which shows the character is on a road
which grants +10% defence.
• I traced around something from an
existing game, however, I decided to add
different colours to try differentiate it.
• This was done for experimentation.
• This was done in Photoshop by drawing
with pixels.

3. Process
- I decided to experiment by creating a small character profile,
showing the characters portrait, their class, level (with how
much experience points they have) as well as hp.
- For the characters design and the font I traced over various
images, however I decided to add different colours to try
differentiate them.
- I am deciding to take inspiration from the character menus in FE
Genealogy of the Holy War.
- I drew with pixels in Photoshop to make this.
- I went with a turquoise like light blue to make the character look
a mixture of normal, looking human-like, while also having a
more non-humane hair colour.

4. Process
• I also experimented by trying
to make a character sprite of
someone riding a horse
holding a sword.
• I tweaked around with the
colours and shading to try
differentiate it.
• Drew in photoshop with
pixels.

5. Process
• I traced around 2 character portraits from an
existing game, decided to do it as detailed and to
match the original to help practice at Pixel art.
• I decided to use the Eyedropper tool, since it was
helpful in getting the colours as well as the
different shades of colour, for more detail.

6. Process
• Done in Photoshop by drawing in pixels.
• I traced over a more detailed portrait, to
help get better at pixel art.
• I also decided to draw the other stat stuff,
as well as the on-map lower detailed
version of the character.
• I used the eyedropper tool to help me
when finding the colours to use.

7. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
- I will try to design the character pictures in a
similar style to a Fire Emblem game.
- Similar colour pallets.
- Similar designs and art-style overall (with my
own original characters and ideas).
