HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY MAPS ?

CloseOK... I need some serious help with the town right now... :| Am I suppose to leave those ground tiles around the house so people can walk ? What else should I do with this house ?
Find a concrete tile (or lighten one of the bare road tiles) and make a concrete pathway around the edge of the block. The rest of the space can either be lawn/garden or another house.

So how is the size of the road and the house ? Do I need to make anything bigger or smaller ?
And how does the front lawn look ?

The road, if rather narrow, looks fine to me, considering the sprites occupy a space that's half of the door (right?), you could say the houses are a bit big, but particularly the windows should be 1 tile lower. As for the front lawn, I would pull it down all the way to the earth alley, which, as well as what's around the house should be transformed into a sidewalk (as Liberty says).

Well, here 's a thing : The windows occupy 4 tiles (2X2), so if I move them down, they would overlap the tree tiles. I can use a smaller one, and here is how it looks
Maybe you could bring down the roof tile, and don't forget the sidewalk, everything that is not the walkway between the two patches of grass, if you can find an adequate tile, different from the road's for it.

@Liberty Thanks, but I don't like the way they look. I might reconsider them again, but for now, I am going to look for a different one. :D
Uh oh... That is not good... The house looks small and really unappealing, which is way worse than the one we had before. Not sure what I should do with it for now... :-?
Yeah, I am aware that the sidewalk needs to be changed, and that goes for the school entrance as well...

Well, maybe you could do as chana said, reduce one row, but in that row that you erase you could inverse the flow of the tiling, so it doesn't seems like this.
As for the unappealing, I think it maybe matter of adding details, but what I guess that it would work just fine is changing the color of the walls, that gray is very depressing, maybe a light cream color should do the job of cheering the house a little bit more

OK, I 'll see what I could do with it, and post a picture when I am done.
As for the wall color, you are kinda right, but the other ones that I have aren't really better.

OK guys, I have other maps to take care of so help me get over the town quick :D
How is that ?
I think that's fine, maybe perfect if you had the same tile for the sidewalk whitish grey (so it looks like pavement) and the walls of the house yellowish or cream, but...

OK... I 'm feeling something is not right... Did I over-decorate the houses' surrounding ?
Right, there's too much stuff on those lawns and not too coherent, a lesser variety of plants and more realistically disposed would be better.
That's looking MUCH better, the whole thing looks fine actually, imo, would it just be possible to have a different color for the alleyways between the houses and up to the doors, maybe earth like? just an idea, it could turn out really bad, just so as to distinguish those parts from the proper sidewalk? in any case, looking really good now.

Can I just say that the wooden house looks like flooring, not wall tiles?
Uh... Those are definitely wall tiles from XP... Anybody else feel this way ? I might change it, though.
