    The fact that you can distinguish the eye from other body parts in the "noob" pixek art on the thumbnail, shows that you don't need much colours to make good pixel art.

  • @renookami4651
    @renookami4651 4 ปีที่แล้ว +372

    About color palettes:
    When you start, don't try to master everything the color wheel have to offer. Focus on *analogous* colors. That's what's shown in the video. The simple rule is that *once you choose a base color the shadow go toward "cold" colors, and highlight goes toward "warm" colors* . It's a simple enough rule to get started, then it's up to you to build your artistic sense.

    This was the best pixel art tutorial ever not only because of the useful resources provided (I LOVE Miniboss's references), but also due to how much more inspired and motivated I am after watching this. And honestly? The getting into the right mindset part is something that I have never seen before and am probably never going to see again, but heck, was it just what I needed.

    What a superb vid this is! I am a complete novice in this field and this short twenty mins has highlighted so much, it's mind boggling, but in a fantastically exciting way.
    The different graphic styles alone are an education in themselves but the whole idea of just looking around you to see how nature does it and then how to translate that into pixel art - it just blew me away.
    Massively informative, intuitive and very well put together. Just superb. Many thanks for uploading - this will be a great point of reference.

    Been a hobbyist pixel artist/game developer for a while now, and while there are more tutorials out there that go into more depth on even the technical things you discussed in the video, I learned more in the last 20 minutes than I have in a long time. Your way of looking at things is so pure and simple but it cuts right through the bs into the important things. (And trust me, I have a BA in bs. I know what I'm talking about :P) Fantastic work! Hope to see more.

I've been doing normal art for a few years but I think it'd be a lot easier to do pixel art instead of normal art.

      If you go with Unreal Engine + Blueprints you won't need to code except you are going for some completely groundbreaking mechanics. Just drag and drop stuff.

    This video is really good
    I am a medical doctor and just decided to step aside specialization to build a game with near 0 experience in gaming developing.
    It was a really hard decision, but we must at least try to archive what we love.
    And your video inspired me to keep this plan going.
    Thanks a lot, friend.

    Thank you. I'm new at art, and I've been hearing a lot "well, artists don't make money out of being kind." as a way to tell me they won't help me, much less for free. So I honestly, deeply, thank you, for teaching me, and all of us who watch your videos. Sending lots of blessings to you.

    great teachings this video contains. I'm going to learn a lot and I hope you come back with work because yes you are a master.

    Came back to the video after applying everything you talked about. It’s the perfect video for someone starting out in my opinion. Helped me go from zero to level 3 goblin - not quite the protagonist yet but I’m levelling up. But in all seriousness, I have been using assets from unity store for a long time as I never thought I had any artistic ability but this video helped me a lot. I grinded and I’m making art that is somewhat game worthy so thanks a lot. Hope you have a nice day!
