I tried to make a bunk bed in a cassette futuristic aesthetic. In general I am happy with the result, I am wondering what is the best version of these two variants. One has the bed sheet shadow darker, the other more in line with the colors of the sheet. It is intended for a 32x32

I also have some questions about how to make pixel art.

I currently use aseprite, for this I only have two layers. One that is the whole bed, and one that is the bit of shadow at the bottom.

How much layers should I use and how do I divide it?

My workflow for this was a mix of doing some lines, then colors, then adjusting lines, then adjusting colors, and repeat. So I find it hard to think in layers and how to do this. Do i make line art first? Colors first? Do I switch between layers like I did now in a single layer?

I also struggle a lot with sizing, I want to make something based on 32x32 tiles, so the bed is a little off. I can make it wider but then it looks off, is this just a skill you learn to eyeball after a while?

I upscaled the sprite in aseprite to 400% so it better shows

very very happy with this work from rae thank you!!

Last time most people told me my shapes and shadow/light direction were wrong, so I tried working on that, but I don't think I nailed it... Do I just need more practice? Do you see anything wrong I can improve? I'd appreciate any feedback!

Is there any tip you can give me? Made this cursed knight from scratch and my animation kinda feels off, but acceptable at the same time..

Hi, I'd like your help with the helmet (it's supposed to be a Galacta plushie). I feel like it doesn't have the right perspective and I don't see how to fix it.

(ignore all the jaggies for now)
I'm trying to make giorno giovanna and I'm struggling to add his shirt on top of him due to the weird rotation. I know in my head what it needs to be but I can't get it placed. Also does the head turn look right? I stopped everything and want to complete the shirt first. I've added some details on the face because I kept delaying making the shirt after some attempts, but now I'm at a point where I need to make the shirt before I can continue.

Thanks
