Here is a tribute to a great living actress, Marla Gibbs, in one of her famous characters, Florence Johnston from the show “The Jeffersons”.
The technique is experimental, I am trying to unify pixel art high detailed areas with traditional digital painting, in a resolution usually a bit higher than traditional pixelart. Entirely made by hand pixel by pixel, but a Marla Gibbs famous
photo was used for reference purposes only. In the future I think I will try a portrait without using references at all, but for doing that I will need to deep study the face of the next character.
Hope you all enjoy the painting.
! In pixel art I give an enormous importance tho the characters gaze and eyes. In the eyes area, in pixel art drawing, a single pixel out of place can change the entire image impression.
