If you are talking about my edit of JesterTheCat's hood, he always asks me to help him or show him ways of doing things with pixel art.

If not, then no I am not kidding you

I'm with hadi here, he didn't claim it as his own, he was just using a different way to help jaredish understand what he was talking about.

Since you started to think less colors is better, I've seen that quote from cure about ten times. Less colors isn't always better! And I don't see why he should use less colors then this, it looks like he already uses a small ampount of colors to me.

22 colors for a tiny avatar is a high amount, and I've quoted Cure about 4-5 times. :p

everyone has their own style, dylan and hadi may like to use less colours in their art while others do it their own way, not everything has to be the same.

Using less colors isn't a style but more of a custom to pixel art.

OOHH JESTER TEACH ME!!!! I NEED GRAPHICS TEACHER!!!HALP!!!!11!

But on a serious note, can you please teach me how to make proper and fancy Graphics? Like your own?

Using less colors is part of having more control of the image. If you have too many shades of the same colors it looks like it has blur (unless is for a texture that looks blurry). An example is the hair, blur doesn't work as hair. Is more about not how much colors you use but which ones, and if there's very similar ones is better to remove them or change them depending on what makes it look better . One of the hardest things for me to understand (and I still don't understand perfectly) is all the hues, saturation and color theory. Try to use colors that are a bit more different of each other, using very similar colors (or too different) doesn't creates much texture or contrast. It all depends on what you want it to look like (plain, 2D, etc.)

Check what this guide says about color (creating a palette).

The edited version is much better but it has some weird lines in the sky.
Keep practicing!
