This channel is hands down the best resource for learning pixel art on TH-cam! Everything from the pacing to the explanations to the professional polish to the quality of the artwork is absolutely spot on (It's also exactly what I need at my current stage of game development!)
Do you happen to have any tips when working with restrictive sizes and colour palettes?
I'm trying to work within Game Boy Colour limitations, so 8x8 to 16x16 canvas sizes, along with 4 colours for background tiles and 3 + transparency for sprites.

[@hanapixelme]

@@AndrewFullerton thank you so much!! That means a lot to me haha 😊 well i dont have any tips specifically. But for working with such a limited palette, I’d say have each objects or scene their own mini palette. For example, if u choose a dark green color for ur floor, avoid using that green on ur character as it would look blend in. But if u still have to overlap some colors, outlining is a great way to seperate things. Going small also means that u’ll be working more with primary shape, so like a table would just be a rectangle and 4 sticks instead of having decorative parts (like ornaments on the table). And thats totally fine if you just use primary shape for these objects. The goal is for an outsider to look at it and still recognize the overall silhouette. Maybe later on when u’re used to it, you can add in small features, like in the silhouette video. Simple changes in the object can make a difference. Other than that, the style is all up to you! Good luck! ❤️
