I just subscribed to you when I get a tablet i definitely will be doing I wanna keep myself busy on the weekends and learn a new skill!!
your tutorials are good but tbh Naw I'm not paying sorry (because I'm underage :/)
I know it's just a blink-and-you-miss-it sort of thing, but "find inspiration, not jealousy" really hit me. It's such a useful idea with applications way beyond the topic of the video.
I needed this, the pixel art of my first game was extremely meh. So hopefully this will help my next one!
Yay! Glad I could help Micy!
what program do you use for pixel art?
@@micyoz5283 ty
Whats your first game? Is there a possible way to get it?
@@micyoz5283 nice
Hope this video is useful! Let's keep learning and progressing our skills...Good luck everyone!
hahaha. the word talented pixel artist and my name dont work in the same sentence
Can you make a animation tutorial?
It is useful
i dont want to waste 4 year
What's the ap you're using?!??
Great tips man, just got into sprite art, trying do be more productive but man school and stuff just feels like I dont have any free time, I wanna learn a lot as I'm 29 before its too late. But so hard managing time.
Ohhh man. I love this. Don't pressure yourself too much, but it's NEVER too late to pick up new skills. You are still young, so practice with no judgement on yourself when starting a new craft! 💜
People never stop learning, so it's never too late to pick up a skill
@@plague_doctor0237 appreciate sadly haven't been able keep it up too well, as I took up studies as well. But nice motivational speech bro
@@DrCrazyEvil it's ok, at least you are doing it, even if you take a lot of time you will eventually get the results you wish for
@@plague_doctor0237 i have never agreed so much with something in my whole life
My first actually playable game consists of crudely drawn images that were mostly designed by my son. I’m coming from a much more technical background, so I’m in dire need of all the artistic advice available! This is good stuff! Keep it going
Thanks for the tips! gonna be using them in my next vids
Thanks Thomas, just hit me up if you ever need any help with pixel art brother 🙂
Two of the youtubers I follow at the same place? This sure motivates me
beginner to slightly better beginner
Pro Tip: When making a game, don't have a girlfriend
What if she is my artist cough
@@phoenix-lt6inLike hitting two birds with one stone. Both your dreams die😂
WHAT IF SHES HOT
What if shes hot
Then you don’t need to make a game. Achievement Unlocked.
Nice video, love how you included tips and advice for people at all stages of pixelling 💜
Thanks Fennec! Glad you liked it :]
I love your work and your drive and the way you explain things! I'm trying to get into sprite work and pixel art myself! Love what you do!
Thank you for your kind words Oboe!!
While I don’t really do sprite art or extremely detailed art for indie games (I do commissions for textures for weapons, I even turn them into 3D models if the client requests it) I found this really helpful so thanks!
No problem! Glad you could get some use out of the video 🙂
Great video! We need as many pixel art reference and tutorial videos out there as possible. I want to see this as a growing community sharing love for this style of art work and game design!
Thanks, man! ♥️
Glad you liked it! I want to try and do 1 every year to see how much I have learnt and what new lessons I can teach! :D Maybe I will do a course in the following year or something..who knows :P
@@ReeceGeofroy That's all sounds great. Look forward to it!
The whole time I was watching I kept thinking the game you were playing looked really fun, happy to find out it'll be available on steam eventually. Thanks for the tutorial, look forward to playing your game!
Thanks Ashley!
I’m actually working on a pixel art Mario inspired game, and this is exactly what I needed!!
I was really confused, because I didn’t know how to start designing, or how to make a good design for my characters.
thank you so much for this, I honestly think this was one of the best and most interesting pixel art tutorials I've seen on the internet. I fell in love with pixel art after joining a Terraria mod server about two years ago and never stopped practicing it every once in a while, so it is always great to find some nice videos on youtube that could help me improve :D
Appreciate this wacky!! 😁
Great advice! :D
Thanks Mahk 😍
Thank you, this is an useful tutorial, I made my first pixel art creation today! :)
YAYYY! Love that!
Nice video, love how you included tips and advice for people at all stages of pixelling
3:19 BOULDERDASH!!! With statistics you can find what is objectively more appealing to the eye.
Thank you for your pocket of insight on Pixel Art it helped me quite a bit. Great video!
I came for a tutorial...I found greatness.

Instant subscribe. I love your energy bro. God bless you.
Personally I do my art with flat shading or basically no shading at all with big, black and bold outlines this is definitely gonna help me broaden my horizons thanks!
please tell mr the software
Thank you so much for this video, you might not have thought but it helps with cross-stitch patterns as well. I was trying to make a pattern but it never turned as I wanted, now I can do whatever I want!
Dude this is super helpful. I’ve been into pixel art and animation for a long time now, and recently decided to try it. I came here for shading, and got so much more. Would you be open to giving me some more basic shading tips?
This was really great! Thank you!!
Your game honestly looks dope, doing a super awesome job on it!
Thank you Donald! 😁
Great video! I definitely agree that you should learn why people are doing particular things, whether it's pixel art or coding.
Well said!
'Find Inspiration, not jealousy'......INCREDIBLE words to live by! Thank you!
excellent video and great advice! thanks!
Glad you found it helpful! 😍
I love your animation style, tbfrank.
Thanks for very useful tips and tricks. I will try it out and practice more on the Faketown drawing tool then. I'll make sure to apply these tutorials.
so cool. im straight up inspired. instant sub to your channel. thanks mate
A unique concept is resolution, things closer to the screen will usually have more detail than things way in the back, a foreground element pushed into the background unprocessed would seem disproportionately large and out of place next to the smaller low resolution landscape.
A really cool video as always!
Thanks Dragono!! :]
Thanks for the help!
Thank you so much, your a great yt because you interact with your community (in the comments), you inspire me
Thanks Bloxian! Appreciate the support and I'm glad I can help inspire you to create. Good luck out there!
Thanks it was very helpful😁😁👍
It's so cool that you've never gone to school and your still holding it down. Slay.
For absolute beginner's I'd reccommend piskel, it's interface is insanely simplistic and you won't get bogged down with having to learn how to use it. I haven't tried to animate in the program but for static sprites it works more than well enough.
Made my first 16x pickaxe and I'm really proud of it. Some tips I think are helpful. Establish where your light source is coming from straight away and think about where it should be lighter, Instead of a black outline. Just get the colour next to the edge and darken it. Do the same all the way round but darken it the exact same amount all the way round. That way in lighted areas it doesnt go from yellow to black. But rather from yellow to dark yellow
Hello, I know I'm about a year late to this comment, but I'm going to type this anyway just in case it helps someone else along their pixel art journey. An even better way to kick your shading up a notch would be to actually change the hue slightly as well. A good rule of thumb is to change the hue to a cooler color for shadows and warmer for highlights. For example if you have a red object then you'd want to go from yellow/orange to red to purple, with yellow being your highlights and purple being your shadows.
Also never use pure black or pure white.
I did manage to learn this throughout the year after this comment but I appreciate a lot@@thekingscrown8931
thx this really help me alot since i am trying to become an pixel artist
Enjoyed it!
feels good to see ur name in a vid (even if its just the stream chat).
hahahaha true! Yeah I like use the livestream footage from time to time!
This video will be very useful for me because the next game I'm working on is pixel art :)
That's awesome Rodger! Hope you find it helpful!!
Thank you very much for that Video, it was very helpful!
Glad you found it helpful!
"You have to know the rules in order to properly break them" - some smart guy
The video really helped me, thank you very much.
Even tho i don't have much of a interest in pixel art I really enjoyed this video and still pulled good tips and information from this, Great video!
Thanks Chatter Box!
Thanks for this insightful video. I just got into this several days ago, trying to replicate some pixel art sample to understand how it works.
One thing that I would like to ask, should I purchase pen to start or I can just use mouse and keyboard? Just want to know how much should I invested to get into and be more active in developing my skill. Thank you.
If you are a low-budget game maker like me, you can create your character by take a picture of your self in same distance and use some app or program to pixelate the pics, crop it out
The quality is not too good, but decent, only requires a few retakes, at least it’s original and useable
Great video! one question what app do you use for pixel drawing?
Thanks! Im thinking of making sprites for games!
Good video and i tried monster tribe and woah it was really well made man
Oh awesome! Thank you :)
this is a great vid. consider getting a pop filter for the mic to prevent plosive sounds, and speaking at a glancing angle to the mic rather than directly into it.
i juust got into pxiel art, thank you
Thanks i started doing pixal art as hobby and its so fun
Awesome! Glad I could be a part of the journey haha
Amazing !!!
thx for the tips this will be useful for my rpg fighting game
Glad you think it will be useful! Good luck!!!
I just got accepted to create reskins for this game I play, your vid is helping me learn a lot more lol
This is so cool. I might have to give it a go. Is there a way we can manipulate our pixel art so that it looks as though we're viewing it on a CRT tv? If we could get that style down then pixel art could go so much further. The natural blending from the CRT tv keeps the pixel art somewhat in tact while adding a tremendous level of depth to the image. God I miss CRTs. Apart from their size and weight they were so much better.
i kinda just accidentally learned these things over the coarse of a year, just without knowing the name of any of these things, and im kinda glad i didnt try to follow tutorials because i instead just learned how to put my heart on the screen, which is a lot more fun than when i was going for some sort of objective perfection in my pixel art
Dude you’re great 😍
Thanks Sunny!!! 😍
Thanks!
Cool! :)
MASTER CLASS
and thank you for the Tutrorial :)
That video is CERTAINELY going to improve my poor pixel art (for your own sake dont play one of my games). Thanks a lot!
Yayyy!!! Glad you will find it useful! :D
how can i play one of your games?
I want to play one of your games!
@@wdrbumk Do you want to lose your eyes?
This will help me designing my modpack
Also another thing that I've learned is that you can input blender renders into aseprite, so if your trying to understand how something would look in 2d you can take the render and see. this is something that I've learned while trying to imitate dead cells fluid and beautiful 2d sprites, it's all 3d just pixelated
I was doing pixel art on my iPad, but is there a way that you could do a tutorial about pixel art your dining room table or Christmas tree in your next video? I like this one
This really helped me with pixel art
Yay! I'm so glad 😍🤩
Great video :)
Thanks Stephen! :D
6:30 if yall want some tips on animation, look up the 7 principals of animation. They will improve your animation significantly.
It think the skill in pixelart is not about drawing in high resolution, i think the skill is about placing as much information in as few space as possible.
Specialy if you use an 8*8 grid
Heyo! Inspired by this to make a game! What app did you use for ur pixel art? Was wondering cause it seems like such a good app with ur awesome skills!
Thank your the tips dude! What software do you use for screen recording?
Thanks for the tutorial I just started sprite making for my game im making and I was struggling how to make it look good like some of the sprites only had one color with no lighter or darker pixels or if I should add a outline your tutorial made my brain click and now I can remake my sprites with good shading and light reflections I have so much depth to master. I do have a question how do you pace yourself on how far you want to achieve high state perfection? like if you watch tutorials every day and learn new skills how far would you advance at a time from project to project?
Thank Ethan! Personally I have slowed down my skill progression to focus on consistency. Developing a video game over a couple years means I can't experiment TOO much with new styles, so instead I am continuously drawing to get more consistent and efficient at creating my work to speed up my own progress. I'm sure I'll go back to testing with new styles and higher levels of detail when I'm starting a new project though!
ok you got a new subscriber and a new twitch viewer
Thanks for this vid i went from bad art in paint to 16x16 and i am now using 32x32. I also made my first 64x64 background today so thanks man 👍.
Nice! Good luck 🤞
This is helpful for me since I'm making a minecraft mod, i need to learn pixel art for the textures.
What is the best software to create and edit sprites?
Классный канал, спасибо что делитесь своим опытом!
Very Useful Video 👍🏻
Glad you found it useful!!!
i love your work and this video helped me to inspire to make pixel art. is there any tool you would recommend to make pixel art?
Thank you for the kind words! I use Aseprite for my artwork
Didn't need this, but I still prefer your beginner version compared to the "pro" version in the thumbnail :D
Thank you Sensei
No problem, Son.
@@ReeceGeofroy Da..Daa....Dad
those berries look quite familiar to the forager ones
I tend to go for the style shown as "beginner" in the thumbnail because it's more reminiscent of early nes games. Most of the sprites didn't even have an outline.
nice ;D
Thank you!!

Yay! 💜
Very nice
So I just started pixel art... yesterday. I did one piece and I really liked it. I've had a lot of problems with being bad at art, which caused a lot of anger at myself and jealousy of my friends throughout my life. But I actually the pixel art I made. But anyway, what app or whatever is good for making pixel art?
10/10 good 👍🏻
epic art but what do you use to make your art
i literally just opened up piskel so i can start practicing for when i have free time, but i immediately didn't know what to do lol. (this would be my first time doing pixel art)
I'm currently looking to learn to improve my pixel art
All i can do a smooth GIF but my art skill sucks, I've an animation student grad and has a experience on making game
I didn't expect i might use it now or in future
i like the begineer one on the thumbnail
I'll admit I like the look of the beginner art over the pro stuff in the thumbnail.
I think of 2d animation with pixel art as a flip book it may help to watch how to make a flipbook
What program do you use. I use game maker and it's confusing, I just need something simple for now.
