    Hi, I'm watching this three years in the future. I just wanted to say thank you. I'm trying to make a game of my own and pixel art has always been where my games have failed because I always told myself that I can't do art and couldn't find someone to help.
    This time, though, I'm determined to see it through and that means doing the art myself. I'm not great at it, but I've already learned a lot from videos like this. :)

    This tutorial was incredibly well made and very easy to follow. I can't tell you how many different animation tutorials I've followed where I couldn't understand the how or the why someone was doing something in a frame, now I get it with the awesome breakdown you did and continuing to use the same terminology throughout. Great work, just for this you've earned my sub and bell!

    • @AdamCYounis
      @AdamCYounis  3 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      Thanks so much! Since I don't have a huge time budget for these videos, I'm committed to recording them in one rolling take and without much of a script. This one took me a couple of sessions, as I wasn't happy with the first run, but I'm really glad people are responding well. It's very difficult to tell if I've missed anything or been inconsistent with my explanations, or too brief, during the recording. It's never perfect, but I'm really happy that the effort is being noticed.

      @@AdamCYounis Totally agree w/ Night Basillisk - pixel art is a deep enough topic. Animation, yeah, is bonkers - often seems like magic there are so many overlapping disciplines and integrated stylistic approaches. Better to hear all the details and see it come to life. Insanely valuable.

I've been binging your vids and your gentle yet interdisciplinary and might I add noticably experienced approach is a total joy to watch.
    In this particular case, I've watched this and that explanation on animation techniques throughout the years, but I finally feel like it's all coming together in this one video. Stunning!
    The trick of tracking different body parts with different colours will help me so much. Thanks!

    Of course i don't have even 5% of your capacity but my sprites now seems like what they should instead of color blob squares.
