Circles don't have sides and all images are made of pixels; a pixel being a square. Therefore circles cannot exist in images, they only appear to be circles, if you want to get technical.

For anyone interested in WHY you wanna hue-shift towards Yellow for bright lit areas, and towards Blue for dark shadowed areas. It's because our eyes and brains (mostly our brains have to do with interpreting colors), have evolved here on Earth, where shadows are blue-tinted due to the atmosphere, and bright areas in the daytime are yellow-tinted due to the sun. Also related fun fact, contrary to popular belief, ALL stars in the universe give off yellow light, even the most red dwarves / giants, they give off light in the warm range of household lights, while the most blue stars give off cool light similar to in an office, which still appears totally white to us. This is why some games look unnatural, with pure 255.255.255 white highlights on say a white wall in the sunshine. Because if you go outside IRL and look at a white wall (say in Italy), during a sunny summers day, the white wall is NOT 255.255.255 white, it's actually more yellowish due to the sun. This is what we instinctively "feel" is bright. The same applies to things lit by fire or a campfire, naturally. But people forget it applies to our sun too. If you were evolved on Mars, for example, you might find lighting more natural if you hue-shift towards RED in the shadow, and (still) Yellow in the light. This because the Martian atmosphere tints shadows reddish, rather than blue (though the sunset / sunrise is BLUE on Mars, so for a game set on Mars, you might wanna add cool blue shadow tint for sunset scenes). Yes it might look unintuitive, but it will give your scene a proper unique feel, as it should if its on another planet.
I appreciate the effort you put into this comment and the very useful tips you've added here, thank you. The appropriate color of highlights and shadows is one thing I struggle with, and your comment will help me immensely.
Really good video! Good shading can make or break an art style. It can immerse you so much when done well, but be jarring when done wrong. Great tutorial and nice demonstrations!
no matter how many times i watch your videos they always bring me joy, the aesthetic of pixel art and the music you put in the videos makes everything so perfect

Nice tutorial for shading... although I think it is more than just a Shading Tutorial (color shifting and others techniques) which is way more informative and attractive than most of other youtuber pixelart videos!
Here cause of the Jonas video. Thought the intro was actually good in this case, because it was showing off your art, sort of lends to credibility. Nice tips, I think it'll be a while before I'm getting things to look decent though. Idk where to put the pixels.
When doing indirect light, should the indirect light be slightly darker than the direct light highlights? or shifted towards the color of the initial surface it's bouncing off of?
Hey been watching your videos and find them really helpful! I'm currently trying to break into Games UX. I'm curious what your workflow looks like as far as how you keep track of your pallets for different projects and object to object.
There's a huge wall of text comment here about why you hue shift towards yellow or blue. Some story about martians and stuff. I'll spare you that and keep it short: You hue shift towards the color of your light source. Lit areas are lit by your light source, in shadow areas can be lit by indirect lighting. Hue shift towards the color of those light sources. You're welcome
Shading for kindergarteners looked like a pro shading to me already lol but now I have a better idea on shading and sure it will take a lot of practice.
Shouldnt you stick with the colors in you color palette? You constantly on the fly create new colors? Dont you get like many different versions of the same color that way?
I dont create colors BEFORE I work. I create them while I work and LIMIT the amount I create. I keep it minimal. Please Watch my Evelyn character portrait video to see more about this technique. I reuse colors but make sure I have the colors I need.

The real color strat is memorizing every single hexcode for color there is and referencing them from memory on the fly
omfg lol
Hexcodes are fairly easy to use once you know how they work. You can write your own hexcodes without reference then..

This dude is so good that he didn't even need go use his eyes 60% on the way, respect
Heart in the pixels is all you need.
This is one of the things that I was struggling the most at doing pixel art, thanks for the tutorial!
Now I understand how to shade the right way.
PREACH
THAT BEANIE IS ALL UP IN YOUR EYES BUT YOU CAN STILL SHADE
10/10
One of the best tutorials ive used hands down. Not just for art, in general
This master Dev Life 🤙 shading tutorial kicks pixel ✨ butt! I love it 💕
thanks
Your content is helping me with my game...for that I will be wishlisting your game. Best of Luck and thanks for all the info!
Glad to hear it!
I had a pixel art assignment for a college class and this video helped me so much! Thank you.
glad it helped
This is oddly specific but I first used the HSV slider in Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time. Since then, that’s what I have preferred.
I've found magic, art is MAGIC and when that red ball turned from red to purple . i . go . BOOMb !
I'm all 'bout that dev life, yo!
Oh shit it's Dizztah
:d
:o
Man your content is so much fun to watch - learning while having a blast...it doesn't get better than that :)

I know the video is a "bit" old, but thanks to you I don't suck anymore at pixel art Lol.
(I think This guy is god... Follow him!)
thats some real nice video. Look how deep you can go with a simple block
Dude you're rad. Recently discovered your channel and love all the videos I watched so far. Keep it up dude
Bit of a nitpick, but a few times throughout the video you say "Vibrance" when V stands for Value.
Thanks for the tut!
kk will make note of that for future videos , thanks.
My god! Best pixel art channel ever!
This video has the finest, most authentic intro ever.
Thanks for the tuts man! you saved me tons of remake work hours!
That orb adjustment thing completely knocked me out. PS: I’m (not) stoned
Thanks a lot, this tutorial is amazing

YOU'RE AWESOME MEN!
I love it! Ty!
13:21 my man just predicted among us 😅😅
lol
"Get off the RGB, that shit's for noobs" bro I almost spit out my coffee lol
Never thought I would be learning pixel art from Tommy Wiseau
i mean i started pixel art a few weeks ago and im happy i made minecraft skins before pixel art cuz atleast now i know what hue shifting is
nice vid man now i can make glossy spheres
@2:39, you can almost see a representation of the double slip experiment in the hsb sliders color chart
Great tutorial pete i had some troubles with shading before, and this helps a lot n.n
Thanks, Ill go into more detail for specific things in the future. Like shading a tree

I love your tutorials! Do you also make higher pixel count pieces? I'd love to see how you do one of those aesthetic scenery.
I'll do that someday
I like how you took your hat more and more off and put it back on. :p
Great tutorial Pete! The best! Thanks for sharing knowledge!

I can see how the apple turns into a ruby pixel by pixel
This is very helpful! Thanks, mate!
Love this!
Thanks for this series.
tbh it looks great and all, but on the apple you should probably try to use fewer shades
I’m in a pixel art wormhole because of watching the 1 bit 2 bits 4 bits 8 bits 16 bits 32 bits 64 bits 128 bits meme help
