I love sprites and pixels
I love sprites and pixels It shows you where the highlights would be in case of "topdown" lighting.
Oh that makes sense thx for the quick reply
Very nice, great work on all the sprites to!

Got any tips on doing animal-type heads for, say, anthro characters?
Just curious, feel free to ignore me.

Think furr. haha
Just don't use too much of the highlight color or maybe don't even use it at all. Because it will dominate the sprite otherwise.

What about animal-type head construction? That's a real sticking point for me.
It's not that hard really. If you draw animals you should be able to pixel them as well.
Here is something I did that might help you.
Just take a look at the differences in shape, lighting and even the nose/snout.
Take the canine for example, his ears are slightly turned outwards and the lighting above his nose makes it look like it's somewhat longer than the rabbit his nose.
I hope this helps.

It does, immensely!
Now I just have to figure out hair, regardless of species.

Here is a hair example. I'll probably create a real tutorial when I have more time.
Keep in mind that with most sprites we have a slightly top down view, so the hairline is going to be relatively closer to the eyes than we would have in a straight down view. And that although you block out the hair in smaller shapes you still shade the hair as one shape. Because individually shading each group will result in a poor image.

Thanks a bunch.
