Pixel art is an art form that was originally used for classic video games to create art that was easy to make, didn't take up a lot of cartridge space, and was easy to use very few colours (to work with old TVs / technology).
However, nowadays pixel art is seen as it's own unique medium of art and is a style loved by many!
This is my personal favourite art-style for Indie Games currently and is the style that I have adopted to create my own games.

just wanna put a comment on here, 3 years later, to remind the content creator that he was asking for 300 likes on this video, and it now has 52k likes. please take a moment to pat yourself on the back for your hard work, and how far you've come in three years. I'm proud of you, and you're an inspiration to commit to my goals and remain determined even if the growth doesn't seem like much at the time. sincerely, thank you, not only for this video, but for the lesson you have just taught me about myself and about life, without even meaning to. you're awesome!
What a beautiful comment, thank you for the kind words. From time to time growth feels slow or stagnant which can be frustrating, but it’s comments like these and people like you that keep me going. Thank you so much 🙂
I wqs thinking the same thing when I started watching this video right now. Then I saw this comment. This is insane!
Great tutorial and production quality is very high!
Thank you man!!! I spent quite a lot of time on this one, but I'll continue to improve as a content creator!
Great video! Im starting Unity which led me to wanting to make my own 2D pixel art and this was a great video to start with thank you.
For some reason I'm good at drawing objects, items, etc., but when it comes to drawing something alive it always looks terrible. Idk why... xD
Me too, I can draw good for example a room, but when I draw dog then it's just do bad
I'm planning on making a webcomic in a pixel art style! It's not gonna be _exactly_ pixel art for the sake of saving time and my sanity, (also i feel like translating tiny pixels into a comic format would be quite challenging) but I feel like it'd be very beneficial to actually know the process of making pixel art!
thanks man wanne start with some cool art and late maybe make a game.
PS: ever heard from calie caves 4?
Cross-stitching is also technically pixel art. Grandmas are the og pixels artists
Did you just call me a dummy? 😠

I have mad respect for pixel art artists, I like drawing city scapes and anime but I’ve been wanting to learn how to draw pixel art, something about simplifying the form is so difficult for me to do-so this video helped a lot! I wasn’t even sure where to start drawing
I find graph paper to be the most fun way to do pixel art, im nowhere near steady with my mouse.
I also really respect pixel artists, Street Fighter 3rd Strike still leaves me in complete awe every time I look at it
I'm surprised.When you said you goal was 100 likes I was stoned! Your video quality is basically professional! I've seen Big channels with over half a million subscribers with a video quality (Not talking about image resolution but editing and presentation) worse than yours! You deserve WAY more subs man!

That self-taught callout hit, yeah, hit pretty hard. It's not that I want to be "self taught", it's that I've never really learned to put in efforts into the basics and figured out how to study. I'm trying to figure that out, but it's really difficult seeing as college is also about trying to figure out how to study. I want to be an artist and I want to be good at things, but I simply can't figure these things out or put in the focus on my own. Honestly, being smart as a kid sucked.

I have been drawing digitally for about 5 years now, but I only started pixel art like last year. I gotta say, pixel art taught me so much. Mainly the fact that art is a lot more about creating the illusion of a form than actually drawing the form. Implied meaning, that kind of thing. Like a nose doesn’t have to look like a nose per se, it just has to give the illusion of a nose when in context (on the face in most cases). So that’s my advice for beginners: give implied meaning in art a chance. It’s a lot stronger of a tool than it might seem.
Great insight! You are definitely on to something here 😁
This video really came out at a time where 200 likes was big for him? I’m glad he has the attention that the effort in this video deserves.
Thanks Karrot! Means a lot :)
@@ReeceGeofroy I’d be happy with 10 likes 😊😂
0:15 interesting fact, Dead Cells was actually animated using 3D models but then rendered down to pixels
Yeah, I saw that! It's actually really cool how it was made into pixel art AFTER being fully rendered in 3D!

"can we get to 300 likes??"
uh, i think you might be able to, but thats just a hunch
16 x 16 is a good size but more easy at start is 32 x 32 but the words are totally true that if you start detailing 16 x 16 it requires much lesser detail than others also using palettes at start is good hue shift at start is difficult 😅 also you can do that outline easily a tip from me is use a black color with alpha around 75 on it and yeah you got it
32x32 is not a good starting size

I love this guy, who's with me?
😆
Me!😍
Not gonna lie I was expecting more replies.🤣🤣🤣
I'm a pixel artist and a regular artist and in both of them, my only problem is it's really hard for me to draw any body part other than the head. When I drew the body for the main character of the game I was working on, it looked really unnatural and I knew I couldn't work with that. I was planning on switching to HD sprites after a while anyways but it was still really hard to do.
Asprite is technically free if you build it yourself since the code is open source. There are tutorials online on how to do it
For the size of the channel the quality is insane! You'd expect that at a channel with 1milion subs
Awee thanks so much man! However this tutorial is way outdated LOL I'll have to make a new, better one soon!
I have no idea what I'm doing EVERYTHING LOOKS CHIBIFIED!
The thing about these videos, is that they're not showing how to start on small canvas's, like they're showing an example on a large surface and isn't showing how to start on small proportions. It's helpful, but is still giving their examples on large proportions than smaller ones. It's like when they show to make an outline or structure, but is showing it on a large surface by making a character, but isn't showing how to make a structure on a small canvas, like a 16x16. If anyone has a video on how to start on a small canvas, please help.. I'm still very stuck on how to start.
I have been working on pixel art for over 3 years (probably more like 5) and never really studying references, although occasionally being inspired by the art of others. One thing I definitely lacked was a skill like you described on making a raw sketch in pixel art. I always went into full detail. When I worked by hand instead of computer (I do not use drawing tablets), I would not do outlines of my drawings either, but in pixel art, I did not even have a clue what I would do. I would try making a purely one color outline and it did not work too bad but it felt unnatural.
Perhaps the hardest thing about using a reference is that I am often most impressed by animation which I have done very little work in because it is a bit hard to grasp when I should animate my art. It took me a while to realize that smaller pixel art canvases were good, but I still never used them quite the way you show here. I rarely filled them completely with an image, like I was doing a sprite. I also never tried going as low as 8x8 ever or 16x16 in my non-game project work. Probably the most inspiring pixel art I have seen was Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, but it is animation based, in a size probably quite large and hyper-realistic detail. It was a game that only a company with a good budget could make, especially those animations. I do not see how looking at a 4x4 pixel square of it will tell me how to make the art.
One last thing that held me back was my environment being terrible so I could not work on my art 90% of the time.
HOW DID YOU EDIT THE COMMENT I WANT TO DO THAT PLS TELL ME HOW TO DO IT
@@kubikeel13 three button on top right, click edit
This is actually really useful tips for Minecraft pixel artists. For example if you want to create custom item sprites. Thanks :)
i love how intuitive and easy pixel art is if you break everything and dont overwhelm yourself with detail

@@ReeceGeofroy yee
0:14 DEAD CELLS BRRRR
0:20 lmao that really reminds me of the Blackthornprod sound effect hahaha
Who knows? Maybe we use the same one? :P
I love that a lot of these tips are basically the same for tradicional/digital art, too. The way you make the illumation, shading, and even your tips about references. Once i heard ``you cant make a professional work if you dont base your work on one of a professional``. The new thing for me was that you decreased the saturation at shadings. For some anime drawings, specially with characters, we even make it higher, to make it sexier and easier to see in the shadows. Its new to me the concept to increase the saturation at illumination, too. Ill test it to see how it looks.
Glad you found some use out of this!! Stay productive and keep learning :D
As a long-time pixel artist, these are really great tips for beginners! Even I learned some things!
