Great video Saul! Also I'd like to point out again that CONSISTENCY IS KEY. Consistency is what makes an artstyle, each one of those principles Saul mentioned CAN be used, but doesn't have to (like he mentioned with the outlines, you can use them, or you don't have to). Consistency is why the piece at 12:36 works well, the artist "broke a rule" of orphan pixels, but he broke it everywhere, thus creating an interesting style!
Does it work on paper and pencil
I use ibispaint X for pixel art
great video, it helps me a lot, i am starting to learn pixel art for Minecraft skin editing.
Thabk you so much ı tryna make game and ı cant draw anythıng thx! nıw ı can btw
05:36 JUST GREAT!!! I've been struggling to understand color theroy for a while now, and came to the same perception as you (more or less). It's just so satisfying to see it in a nutshell.
I'm very confused on how you manage to start with just a silhouette of a simple shape. I keep trying, and i never know what shape to even use.. and then when i make one i don't know how to turn it into the thing i want to make it. it really hurts my head.
My english its very bad but , Que genial toda la Data que tiras en tan solo 14 min!!. GRACIAS
I don't know how to draw either…
Recently I been looking through my old files and want to continue pixel art however I am stuck.
I am a bit confused about ONE thing. Years ago I made bunch of pixel art but they are in wrong scale and some been upscaled too but I lost the originals, also there are some that are made by others and given to me to animate and make assets out of them and when I asked please provide me the original files instead of a screenshot or upscales a artist casually tells me just downscale it or edit it … and I be like is this person serious or making a joke …
By general rule I hate bothering others if I see someone very rarely online especially if our messages span out a year or two in between from each reply I tend to walk away from a project or people like that, it's not their fault we all get tired of things online and go away, lost accounts etc, life happens … Even I quit all social media for couple of years too.
So with that said I still to this day wonder how on Earth this person casually tells me to downscale a pixel art when every time you downscale it to it's original size it becomes a scrambled mess. I rather use the time to make new art instead of wasting time on doing something that I already did once or twice. I NEVER seen a single program or way that actually downscale a pixel art successfully. So can some "pro" out there confirm and enlighten me what I been missing out on all my life when it comes to down-sizing down-scaling without ruining a single pixel ?!
Do you think it's good to buy courses on udemy or practice with references / tutos on youtube is enough ? I hope the second option will work for me

I learnt more from this than a semester long art course. This was amazing
This video is so close to 1M views! Fingers crossed!
I use Pixelorama on Desktop (with Drawing Tablet) because it's very user-friendly and has a lot of options
Lmao I tried to like this video twice
thanks! This really helped out
LibreSprite, a free aseprite version!
That's why I like pixelart. Briefly and clearly
Thanks for the guide)
Such a great resource for those of us who are new to not only pixel art but visual art more broadly. Thanks for the video!
Awesome video! If I could add something, from my personal experience I also find the art harder to make when the game itself is too complex. That's why I'd say when starting out it might be easier to actually pick an easy game idea to work with and match the art level with it
Bro, with this video I went from noob to amateur in few hours…Thank You!!!
this is downright amazing
Hue shifting is definitely superior here
Wow. Just love it man.
Спасибо большое, ты очень крутой! Лучшее видео по этой теме. <3
Laconically.
Useful.
If I could do pixel art like you , I'll probably spend the whole time drawing, forget to eat and die. But it will be a sweet way of leaving this world ! (And maybe going to a new world of pixels!!)
9:59 dont forget, different types of dithering and noise patterns are the best way to texture things ;o especially if that texture is, well…highly textured lol
Mainly with bigger stuff.
Awesome beginner crash course btw, I'll be sure to recommend this to newbies
1:45 "trust the process"
LOL thats what ive been saying to myself too 🤣
Very cool that you talked about multiple processes. Thank you for that.
Omg you covered intentional jaggies too. Yes, thank you. Thats so important.
