This is amazing! I adore pixel art and love animations, so to combine them is the best. Thank you so much 💓
Aw thank you 😊
Your brushes are really really amazing! It’s really helpful and improved my art like it made my art stand out! ^^
That’s so cool, it means the world to me, thank you! 😊✨
Your tutorials are always so simple and to the point. Thank you
I deeply appreciate that! 😊
Omgg thank you so much!! This is so helpful. I've been wanting to do pixel animation on procreate but has difficult figuring it out, plus its so difficult to find good tutorials.
But I knew I could rely on your video!!
That’s so kind of you, thank you so much! 🥰
Thank you so much for this tutorial and for the brushes!
😊🙏

I’m so happy that you liked it! 😊😄
Thank you for this helpful tutorial, bought your brushes!
I appreciate your support! 🙏✨
Super cool and helpful, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Really great tutorial! I'd recently gotten this brushpack and it's been such a fun tool to play with. I have been having issues though making selections like shown here though in my own pixel art, and was wondering how you were able to move portions of the character without anti-aliased pixels being left behind? It seemed to occur regardless if I was using freehand or rectangle and would leave blurry areas of my character behind. Thanks for any input!
Thank you so much! Unfortunately the selection tool in Procreate doesn’t have any way to turn off anti-aliasing yet, so it will always leave some artifacts behind. Making sure nearest neighbor is always selected in the interpolation options for the transform tool always helps when doing pixel art. What I did in this video after selecting something and moving it was to clean up with the eraser tool and repainted the desired parts. Hope this helps!
True is works so nicely
Great work, thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it!
This video is so super cool and that animation at the end is so simple and satisfying to watch!
🙏✨thank you so much 😊
@@IttaiManero you’re so welcome! I used my own brushes and immediately made one of these right after watching it! 😍
@@studiokayley nice! 😊
Awesome work!
Thank you!
Wow this very helpful
Thank you!
Hi there! Bought your brushes and loving them. Would you consider making a tutorial about how to animate a simple procreate landscape?
Hello! Thank you for your support and kind words! Sure, I’ll add it to my list of requested tutorials 😊 I have a lot of pending tutorials though, so it may take a while!
Me encanta
that character is rly cute C:
Hehhehhe thank you!
This is a really great video. Could you do a video on more 16x16 fantasy characters? This has the NES vibes I want to use for my game.
Thank you! My current focus is on covering different topics and specific tutorials people have requested over time, and that list is long, so it may take a while before I repeat the same topic in another video. But I’m open to it 😊
@@IttaiManero I can see you like covering different styles. You’re very exceptional on pixel art on Procreate. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t know anyone teaching and selling products this well done specifically on Procreate. You’re pretty unique. Would it not help your channel to just focus on pixel art? I’ve always been taught about the importance of niching down, to have a specific thing that you’re really good at and repeat it because audiences love consistency. It could draw more attention for you than covering a lot of different topics. Some channels are good and successful at variety. It’s just really hard to get traction in the beginning without repetition on one subtopic within a topic first. Just a thought.
@@sadepennbrook I totally see your very valid point! It may look like that since I post videos about how to do pixel art, or how to paint with oils, or pastels, or watercolors in Procreate. However, I see myself as a brush maker. I love crafting and elaborating specific brush sets to achieve specific styles or mediums. Then I love teaching my audience/customers how to use my tools, so that they can use them to their full potential. In that sense, isn’t my channel a specific niche for Procreate artists who want to achieve specific things within their favorite painting app? At the end of the day, it is actually more important to me to use my channel to help my customers/audience use my brushes and tools to their full potential than to be very successful on TH-cam 😊
Hi thank you for your videos they are a great help! How did you make a Timelapse of the procreate drawing process, my time lapse when exported is very blurry and idk if that’s bc it’s pixel art? My settings are probably 2k and lossless quality on procreate
Hello, thanks for the nice words. My video is not from the timelapse that Procreate generates. You’re right, those don’t work well when doing pixel art. It is because the canvas is so small that Procreate blows it up and the quality gets messed up. Instead I’m recording my whole iPad screen, that’s why you can also see the interface and not only the artwork.
There are many tutorials out there on how to record your iPad screen, here’s one I found: th-cam.com/video/Ep8BHXCNjOc/w-d-xo.html
does not the selection tool have anti-aliasing always enabled?
I mean, does not moving parts of the character make show blurred pixels where the cut was done? It Always happens to me, and from what i know you can't disable the anti- aliasing for the selection tool,
Yes, the selection tool can add some semitransparent pixels here and there when cutting and moving parts of the character, but these sprites are small and very simple, it’s very easy to just repaint/erase to fix those few pixels
that is a great lesson Bravo
Hi, thank you for this tutorial. I have difficulties understanding why my canva darkens after resizing it (nearest neighbor tool). Could you help me out ? Many thanks ❤
Hi, that’s really weird, it shouldn’t change the colors at all. Could you email me with a short video or some screenshots showing what happens? You have the email info on my Gumroad page (link in the description of this video)
Hi! Lovely tutorial. helped me immensely in learning how to animate a small sprite slightly. I’m working on making a png gif sprite with no background and noticed that when i resize the canvas, the background darkens. when i zoom in and out it changed brightness as well which, is weird. any tips?
Update: i saved it as a GIF and the darkened background didn’t affect it at all :)
@@aprileem2 you probably have the grid activated, which at such small scale (the grid is 1 pixel sized if you have followed my pixel art tutorials) you don’t notice it, but when you enlarge the artwork, it makes it look like your artwork is darker, but it’s not. Just need to turn off the grid 😊
@@IttaiManero oooh! that makes sense thank you!
@@aprileem2 no problem!
The explanation was a little fast, but you’re the best at this on Procreate!
Thank you! I believe my “How to do Pixel Art in Procreate” tutorial, that explains all the essentials, is a bit more slow-paced, so I figured I didn’t need to explain that much in this one. I hope that’s okay!
Which device, generation and size screen are you using?
M2 iPad Pro (2022) 12.9, 512gb
@@IttaiManero thank you so much! Your videos are amazing btw.
@@richardspillers6282 thank you! 😊
Hello could you please help me with my sprites for my game xenomon
Hi, sorry, I’m not taking commissions. If you have any question about the process in the video, let me know
whats plat?
Hi! What do you mean?
This is a great tutorial, but you shouldn't have skipped over the technical stuff - how you actually moved the canvas around - copied and pasted etc. I had to slow down to .25 and rewatch a bunch of times to see what you enabled/disabled, like the freeform selection/bicubic movement. It may be basic stuff but it's things I've never had to use before.
Thanks! Well, that’s why in the 0:30 mark I mention that this is not an in-detail tutorial, and I direct you to my full in-depth tutorial on how to do pixel art in Procreate where I explain everything at a slower pace and step by step if you didn’t watch it yet.
:D
These brushes are no longer on your page
Hi, yes they are: ittaimanero.gumroad.com/l/ThePixelArtExperience
There’s a search field in the page where you can look for the exact brush set your looking for 😊
