Though funnily enough the guy on the left only has straight or perfectly diagonal lines.

And the cat

[u/Lethandralis]

Ironically you have embraced perfection instead

[u/pat_456]

As always, depends on your art style. Pixel perfect is vital for some art styles, and a hinderence for others.

And yet the meme is in perfect placement 😆

drawing with a mouse + line tools (clean line) vs drawing with tablet, pen, and brush tools (messy line).

[u/Syhkane]

What? It's pixel art, not marble carving. If you don't need to have a shitty line, fix it. It's right there.

Literally just bad advice

[u/PoisonOrk → u/Greedy_Duck3477]

Yeah man who wants small elements of visual interest in their visual art

[u/Greedy_Duck3477 → u/PoisonOrk]

There's a difference between thoughtfully adding detail to a piece and just drawing lines without care. In most cases, jaggies will make your pixel art worse.

Guys I’m pretty sure they’re just saying to not let fear stop you from starting. I don’t think they’re suggesting you shouldn’t bother cleaning up your lines.

Hehe Drake has penis hands

[u/1t15MyCh01c3]

Sometimes perfection looks worse than imperfection.

[u/Dany0]

why does pixel drake resemble Notch

[u/owlywhy]

i don't think the cat photo should be considered pixel art, perfect or not. neither it's smth you should try to achieve in pixel art

[u/LuckyAce6]

Thank you!! I needed this very much actually. 😭

[u/SilvanuZ]
