Snail pixel art questions

Why does my snail shell look like a flat circle?

Add one clear inner curl or a slightly darker shell edge, and make the shell overlap the body at a deliberate seam. A few connected marks can suggest the spiral.

How do I keep the eye stalks visible?

Use connected clusters and leave a gap between the two stalks. If the source has extremely thin lines, choose a finer working grid and preserve space above the head.

Try your own snail design

Leave a clear seam where the shell meets the softer body. Start with that shape in the pixel art maker.
