Birdie Pride Icon

pixel art of a stern Mexican-American agender person with golden-brown skin and green eyes, crossing her toned arms as she looks at the viewer. her form-fitting, black shirt goes halfway up her neck and cuts off at the shoulders and mid-waist. the scribble behind her displays the aromantic-asexual pride flag.

Medium/Style: digital, 2D, shaded cartoon pixel art with lineart

Notes: I had to be super careful while drawing Birdie here. since she shares the same body with Scott, I couldn't get creative with body/face shape and had to simply rely on body language and clothes alone to portray personality. it's kind of funny to see what outfit I put her back in 2022 now that I've finished my final draft, which included spending time figuring out what all these people would actually wear rather than the first thing that came to mind while drawing them.

on another note, the way I shaded Birdie's arms solidified my understanding of how to use shading to convey form, which is primarily what I focus on in my artwork now.
