Drawn Story is a 2D puzzle/adventure video game about a world painted on a sheet of paper. You control a stickman character living inside this world and an artist with a pencil in hand looking at the paper from above. As a stickman, you can walk, climb, jump and use different items. As an artist, you are able to create new items in this painted world by drawing them. Your goal is to use your imagination and lead the stickman through a variety of puzzles by drawing things he can use. There’s always a few ways to solve each puzzle.

I decided to make some graphical improvements for the upcoming alpha version. Stickmen became mush more appealing and lively-looking after applying some gradient fill. Player drawings we also enhanced. I played with a some graphical effects a bit and ended with that sketchy-like style you can see.

I decided to make some graphical improvements for the upcoming alpha version. This is what I finally got:

Final

Some details are below.

Stickmen

The first thing that needed some enhancement most of all was stickmen appearance. What I wanted to do is to save they cartoon-style look but make the more lively. I added an outline and applied some gradient fiil. Stickmen look mush more appealing now.
This is what was before:

Player drawings

After stickmen appearance was improved it became obvious that player drawings need some enhancement too. I played with a some graphical effects a bit and ended with the sketchy-like style. Drawings now look like some pencil shading was added to them.
