[DRAWINGS] Doodles and Finished Pieces 2.0

[StevenB]

I drew Phoenix and put it into Indexed color mode into Photoshop. It was made as a style test. My coloring seems to be working fine, but the face doesn't look exactly how I want it to.
Note: I didn't actually do any pixel art here besides some cleanup. I just put the image through a color palette.

I'm actually really curious about this process. Do you think you could explain it a bit more? I'd love to give it a try, myself.
