i hope you show us more progress on your pixel art progress (i'm just starting to learn pixel art too and i want to see other people's progress. it motivates me) good luck!
I was struggling with starting small. I just felt unsatisfied with everything. I was able to find what felt to be the right size for me, which is 100×100. I used it even when I draw something that maybe more fit with smaller canvas size. Limiting colors is really helpful for me. I was never good with coloring, and still struggling to this day, I just used those available palettes on the internet. I started with 4 color and gradually added more. Still very overwhelmed by more than 8 color tho.
I can definitely see where you're coming from! 100x100 is a pretty good size in general! It's big enough to add different details and elements, but isn't too big to the point where it's overwhelming. I also agree on the limited color palette! I am trying to implement that now, definitely saves time and brain energy :)
Great video! I've been looking to start pixel art for a while, but always felt intimidated. Thanks to your inspiring video I just finished setting up my tablet and about to start my journey!
I love your castle and cherry blossom! The camel was also really cool, and I loved the spider plant shading in your last piece, the cat and bird one. Thanks for sharing!
I just recently started with pixel art, and the small canva was really good for me (i don't have artistic background) . i do feel comfortable with that size. You content looks so good and inspired me to follow with this ❤..
I feel the same way about the small canvas! It made starting pixel art a lot more approachable to me 😊 And thank you so much, I'm glad it inspired you!
Starting too small can be demotivating because they're so basic and potentially harder because each pixel becomes a larger proportion of the sprite. I would advise starting with just lineart as it's the most similar to sketching and gives you a feel for how to create lines and shapes with pixel art. It also helps you learn to keep your work readable since you're not relying on color and shading to distinguish various shapes. You can also do silhouettes which help with proportions. Deconstruct and trace over existing pixel art that you like. It's much easier than doing other art studies since you can literally look at it pixel by pixel. Then try to combine bits and pieces from other people's art to kitbash your own sprites and scenes. This will get you used to making more complex figures that feel unique even though they use parts from other works. The act of then unifying those pieces will help you learn to adhere to a particular style creating a more cohesive look. I'm also not very experienced in pixel art or drawing but I've been held back a lot by trying too much at once making it impossible for me to figure out what parts in particular I need to improve on. A more focused approach where I practice a particular skill has been the most helpful and engaging for me because I can identify problems quickly and immediately look for how to improve that specific skill.
These are really good tips! I can see how starting small can be demotivating, though for me, starting small really helped me understand the foundations of pixel art :) Early in my journey, I tried to start with a 100x100+ canvas, and it felt overwhelming, though now that I am a little bit more experienced and understand the fundamentals, I do see the value in starting with line art to make more creative and detailed pieces!
Thanks for watching! I’m still a beginner, but I hope to share my pixel art in a game dev video soon!
What type of game would you like to see?
i hope you show us more progress on your pixel art progress (i'm just starting to learn pixel art too and i want to see other people's progress. it motivates me) good luck!
I just started learning Pixel art but I don’t have artistic background. I really enjoyed the video. Please keep sharing so ppl like me get inspired.
Thank you for watching and the kind words! Good luck on your pixel art journey, I'm sure you'll create some amazing art :)
Those small drawings are so cute! 🥰 The camel, the playing card, and the room are really detailed and that's probably why I love them so much!
Ahhh thank you so much!! 💌💕
i also do not have an art background but I always wanted to get into pixel art, great inspiration
I'm glad you found this inspiring :) Even with an art background, pixel art is still difficult, as it has its own quirks and learning curves 😅😄

I use from 64² to 128² and 16 color palette.
(THE CANVAS AND COLOR COUNT WILL ALWAYS BE A POWER OF TWO.)
Great video! I've been looking to start pixel art for a while, but always felt intimidated. Thanks to your inspiring video I just finished setting up my tablet and about to start my journey!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so excited for you and I'm certain you'll create some cool stuff! 😄
Wow I actually found an underrated channel before 2024 ends. Great video.
Thank you so much! This means a lot 😄
This brings back memories! I did pixel art and animation converting NES titles to PC computers using Deluxe Paint.
That's so cool! I used to admire pixel art back in the day, though doing it makes me realize how talented all you guys are 😆
Love the editing quality and the presentation. Your art is amazing, so keep it up!
Thank you so much! ❤😄
I love your castle and cherry blossom! The camel was also really cool, and I loved the spider plant shading in your last piece, the cat and bird one. Thanks for sharing!
Ahh thank you for the sweet sweet words! I appreciate the encouragement and support 💞
This is really cool! You’ve made some really neat stuff!
Thank you so much! 😄
