I'm in college for game design. I love your videos. I'm mainly good at programming but I've always wanted to be good at pixel art. Every time I watch your videos I feel 10x better at it. Thank you a million times for your tutorials
Pixel art is great for programmers to learn because its way easier to create something decent :) Also I love it because it takes less time and when you do game jams time is crucial.
I've looked for a lot of grass tutorials and your way of explaining and guiding towards inspiration like on Pinterest was soooo appreciated keep up the work.

Thanks Pixel Pete for these awesome videos, Been watching a lot of them before bed now for a few days. Today is Payday for me so I clicked on one of your videos to get Aseprite through you! Another way to show my appreciation for these videos. I will be looking into the game as well. I truly want to become an artist like yourself!
My friends and I are working on a game of our own, (We're making an indie company with it and such) And it's gonna be the start to something HOPEFULLY awesome. I'm making the pixel art, I've done pixel art before but this is the first time making a game while doing so. I plan on using more of yer tutorials because these are incredible and super helpful. From one aspiring dev to another actual dev, thank you! Hope to see you out there someday ;D
Pete, just wanted to give you a huge thanks, your videos are down to earth and easy to follow. Your personal insights go a long way, too. Thank you and I can't wait to see more.
you should make a book. You have so much great information. It be a shame it be lost. Your tutorials are helping me alot. I can draw real good on paper, but pixel art has its own rules and schemes. And your making me think of art in a whole new way. I also think their aren't many books on the subject. Be nice to see something like this published.
Honestly, I´m not much of an Artist or anything fancy like that. I lust like fooling around with Pixels in Aseprite... sooo I decided to watch some tutorials on how to draw stuff that looks actually like stuff... and here I am... and man.. I love those videos, they are helpful, neither too complicated nor to simple and funny
If I had you like 4 years ago, I wouldn't have done like the worst grass tiles ever. (Of course I could have used references, however, my mindset was different at during that time it felt like cheating. ) Thanks for your awesome tutorials!
Thanks for this! I have learnt so much from your tutorials! I wishlisted dwerve on steam because it is the least i could do to repay you for everything you have helped me with! I am gonna redo my grass tiles now lol
This is the exact kind of channel I wanted to watch, and then youtube gods recommend you. Perfection! And if you have an extra key laying around I would love to follow along!
Thanks, this is really in depth and helpful! Next time, could you leave in some kind of source for the examples? Like a little tag under the images. I'm really curious about what games-in-development some of these are from. Plus it helps out the devs! :)
Pinterest is great for pixel art ideas: I use it quite often, since there's a lot of useful inspiration material. I'd love a tutorial on pixel characters. Have you ever thought about making one? Also, are you still giving away Aseprite keys? Am I too late to get one? Keep up the good work!
Okay I know this is an old video, but I was wandering what dimensions I should put for my starting canvas? Like when I first open a new file what pixel size should I use? You seem to use more than 32x32 and you do multiple drawings on one page Just wandering!
Your videos are the best tutorials I've found for someone just starting out. You have some awesome techniques. I love learning the little shortcuts in Aesprite to make things feel right.
I compile my Aseprite from source like A REAL MAN :'D Might buy it one day, but for now I stick to compiling it myself, as I don't do that much pixelart to get it.
Bro, you are incredible at explaining, I have a big doubt, I have always heard that as a beginner you have to work with a reduced color palette, but when doing the hue shifting I am adding more colors to the palette, I am confused. btw I'm Mexican and I don't speak English but I understood 99% of what you said.
You don't need to have a reduced palette. It is easier and faster to use less colors but more colors often makes the art work look better. However to make things aesthetic (look good) you should pick dominant (main) colors that control the mood / theme of the art.
I've been following you now! Your video helps me a lot, even helping me to introduce pixel art to my students! You might be not noticing but the impact of your help in this video is so big, that I no longer creating grass resembles a green middle finger from the green ground! Also, are you still giving keys? :3
Hi there, love your videos! I read that you use Unity as a game engine, and I assume you're using tilemapping? Were you able to figure out a strategy for the lines that sometimes appear between tiles? I keep trying different things (like turning off AA) but nothing seems to eliminate the lines between tiles.
@@PeterMilko Cool! Do you have full-time job and creating the game in free time? I have a nice idea for the game, making it actually but dont have as much time as i would like to have, and after studies I want to work on it as i mentioned. I like your project mostly cause of cool pixel art but for idea too!:)
Hey, ...umm. So, I'm mainly a developer but I've always wanted to make games. I'm not an artistic person (I suck at drawing) but I feel pixel art is slowly giving the hope of making my own game assets. Your tutorials are great and I'm learning a lot. I'm currently using the trial version of aseprite but it sucks I can't export my work to play around with it on a game engine. You wouldn't happen to have a key just lying around, would ya? If not that's cool. Thanks for the great content
so my question is can you make a pixel art in higher pixels and then shrink it .. i been trying to replicate like rpg makers characters but they keep looking too square like idk how they do it so please help i like the chibi character style
I need a key for this sprite program. Have any more active ones? I love your work and am just starting out. I have game maker studio 2 but this program looks a little easier to use.
Aww, I am kinda disappointed by grass. Was expecting something cooler. Other tutorials are great so far! I watched almost every one of them. 3 or so left :P
OMG fail, I forgot to mention the key is redeemable on humblebundle! :P
i couldnt find a way to redeem a key on humble bundle

I'm not gonna lie, I'm in the exact same situation.

The youtube overlords have deemed you worthy of my attention. They believed I would be interested in grass.
They were completely correct. Subbed xD
Haha thanks for the sub! Next video will be water :) Editing it now.

Cool man. I love this. I used to make skins for an old game (Starsiege) using paint, pixel by pixel. Those were the good old days.
Thanks now I’m looking at the grass in every fucking pixel game.
Great content. I’m remember you if I ever get into game development
Congratulations man. I really enjoy the way you lead your channel. Simple, nice and funny vibe and great content. Thanks :)
Really chill
Hi! I'm creating my own 2d game and I just wanted to say that your tutorials help me a lot, please keep teaching us the basics :D
Good explanation of pushing those pixels! :)
Your tutorials are very practical and straight to the point. Also I'll be sure to buy your game when it comes out!
Thanks, we will do a kickstarter early next year :)

Great Tutorial, Really helped me take my grass from amateur straight lines to much more clean and proper looking.
Pete, just wanted to give you a huge thanks, your videos are down to earth and easy to follow. Your personal insights go a long way, too. Thank you and I can't wait to see more.
Thanks for the video tutorial. I really like your approach on grass sprites!

Never been any good at drawing/art, but your videos are just interesting to watch.
You and AdamCYounis have helped me SO MUCH in developing my own game!
Thanks for this! I have learnt so much from your tutorials! I wishlisted dwerve on steam because it is the least i could do to repay you for everything you have helped me with! I am gonna redo my grass tiles now lol
Glad I could help!
Your tutorials have been helping me so much. I hop you get more tutorials out!
This is the exact kind of channel I wanted to watch, and then youtube gods recommend you. Perfection!
And if you have an extra key laying around I would love to follow along!
Dude laughs at the most inappropriate times lol
Thanks for the tutorial guy its so hard to find anyone who does pixel art
"If you want a key let me know"
Me, three years later: haha that would be nice
thank you for such an in-depth tutorial, this is awesome
1:49 The way he said Aseprite 💀
lol
Excellent pedagogy on a very pointy subject, thanks !
Really nice tutorial, used this to upgrade the grass in my game, looking forward to videos on characters (especially side views, they're hard...)!
Wow! First time watching a video of yours and it's very very awesome :) Good job and thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Keep up those PA 101 tutorials they're great!
No matter what please keep making videos, you are a god send fam
Aight, I got you
Hey in a future Pixel 101 can you talk about character design?
Your channel is a godsend. Thanks!
Thanks for teaching me grass sprite design my god awful grass has improved greatly and not so awful anymore. Thanks!

@@PeterMilko You are seriously awesome, dude.
Thanks, this is really in depth and helpful! Next time, could you leave in some kind of source for the examples? Like a little tag under the images. I'm really curious about what games-in-development some of these are from. Plus it helps out the devs! :)
Ohhhh this is soo coool @.@ great tutorial!

The best Pixel Art tutorials on the net
Aseprite is so amazing!
Thank you dud!
hey Pete, thank you for the tutorials I'm actually so glad that i'm learning something :) U are a cool dude .
Pinterest is great for pixel art ideas: I use it quite often, since there's a lot of useful inspiration material.
I'd love a tutorial on pixel characters. Have you ever thought about making one?
Also, are you still giving away Aseprite keys? Am I too late to get one?
Keep up the good work!
I will keep giving away keys and I plan to do character design too!
Bob Ross art lessons for the digital age! I'm lovin it!
yeah lol
Okay I know this is an old video, but I was wandering what dimensions I should put for my starting canvas? Like when I first open a new file what pixel size should I use? You seem to use more than 32x32 and you do multiple drawings on one page
Just wandering!
Not sure if you're still giving out keys for the program, but I would love one! This video helped me out significantly in a game jam. Love the content
Thanks!
Your videos are the best tutorials I've found for someone just starting out. You have some awesome techniques. I love learning the little shortcuts in Aesprite to make things feel right.
Any thoughts on making some videos about animating background things like grass and bushes?
@@scottharris2285 yeah sure ill make some :)
I compile my Aseprite from source like A REAL MAN :'D
Might buy it one day, but for now I stick to compiling it myself, as I don't do that much pixelart to get it.

so helpful! Thank you!
there are many more :)
I don't care about pixel art but this still is extremely entertaining
thanks!
Need that copy of Aseprite!
This is the first video I saw of you!
Omg. This channel is amazing. Please do SAND!
Please make some trees:) Love your videos!
Ill probably do that this weekend.
You are on trending
id like a key but anyway love the vid dwarve looks realy good
I've been following you now! Your video helps me a lot, even helping me to introduce pixel art to my students! You might be not noticing but the impact of your help in this video is so big, that I no longer creating grass resembles a green middle finger from the green ground! Also, are you still giving keys? :3
Hey I'd like a key, coming from PyxelEdit, Aseprite looks really refreshing!
Thanks for the great content!
Use libresprite it's free
the way you say aseprite is demonic
Could you make a tutorial on edge if the grass
hmmm... tht recent searches on pinterest tho...
omg lolz I love it when people notice stuff like that. Sometimes I do it on purpose other times I don't
Amazing tutorial. You should do one about sand: beach, desert, dunes... :D
You are a G thank you
Hi there, love your videos! I read that you use Unity as a game engine, and I assume you're using tilemapping? Were you able to figure out a strategy for the lines that sometimes appear between tiles? I keep trying different things (like turning off AA) but nothing seems to eliminate the lines between tiles.
I see you coveted the most arcane art to yourself:
How the heck do you copy-paste multiple layers ?
Any advice for more zoomed out grass?
like in the old final fantasy world maps or in the old Fire emblem games
POV: you have no idea how to draw but you want to make a game
You are awsome man! :D How much people are working on dwerve? Progress is really impressive.
There are 2 core devs but we have some help for certain things. We will do kickstarter early next year.
@@PeterMilko Cool! Do you have full-time job and creating the game in free time?

I want i key too :O, just started doing pixel art, love your videos!
Well this was helpful :)

What game is that image with the girl crossing the river on a bridge? Looks beautiful
3:14 was that a tiny cat attacking?
I'm starting with pixel art bc I'm learning how to create a game! I would LOVE a key for aseprite!
bro why you vids feel like they are from 2012
love your tutorials tho i am just starting and these are really good
lol, Does my new content also feel like 2012?
How do you randomize tiles in Aseprite ?
I've always wanted to have aseprite, but it's a bit expensive for me.
Wow
I’d still take the key 👉🏻👈🏻
