    That shading bit with the 45 degree angles is a life saver. I've always struggled with shading, but you simplified it so much for me. Thank you.

    I have seen quite a number of pixel art teaching videos, this is one of the best so far. You are willing to share the key pointers which is lacking in other TH-camr's viedos. Keep it going. I foresee more subscribers on the way to your videos. I have not seen the 45 degrees technique anywhere else. Thanks for sharing.
