Bronica Pixel Art Outline

I've always liked the look of pixel art, and wanted to try my hand at it. I had used libresprite and complied aseprite from source when I wanted to mess around with it, but I thought it'd be nice to actually pay for aseprite. I'm pretty sure this is the first non-game software I've ever payed for so that's neat.

I thought I'd start out by recreating my Bronica ETR camera. It's sort of blocky with not too many curved parts, which I thought would make it a good candidate

I thought I'd start out with an outline of the main parts of it and color it in later, which I found to be pretty nice. With only the outline to do (for now), I only had to focus on the shape of it. With pixel art I found it to be mostly easy since you're sort of expected to not get it right the first time, and redo whatever pixels feel wrong. By far the most difficult part of it all was the lens. Multiple circles at different sizes and degrees of circle-ness was hard to keep track of and it shows. The lens looks taller than it is wide to me.

I didn't have much time to work on it more, so I plan on finishing it later with a better lens and color
