  • Hey, this is E5 of my series on everything pixel art! This episode we discuss techniques for detailing sprites for game characters, a topic I find really fascinating. This is the last episode on characters, so next week we'll have a new topic :)
    Enjoy!

    TLDR: if you want people to stop staring at your bust, use dark eyeliner

    Dude, i just had to comment on this video.
    I have watched Pixel Pete and Mort mort for a longer time now and after this video i came to a conclusion.
    Pete and mort have probably learned pixel art by themselfs.
    You tho learned it thrue university, whole different approach and a psychologic aspect to it.
    I subscribed! Cheers! And liked ofcourse...now Lets hope that UA-cam will tell you all about it soon.

    How do you make such good use of colour? The colours for the buildings really look like the kind of colours you get in TV animations.

  • @bbs001gaming7
    @bbs001gaming7 2 роки тому +1

    Would it be a good idea to make a full 8 point turnaround for a pixel art sprite to use in platformer? Would it let you make animation work faster because you have a complete idea of what your character looks like or would it be too much effort? I am currently doing a turnaround for a pixel character because I like to practice but I don't know if it would be useful if I made a game about the character.

    • @loganmiller3167
      @loganmiller3167 2 роки тому

      In my opinion I think it would be useful because well if you don’t end up using it you have that practice, but if you do use it, it’s possible to reference back to it for cutscenes where you may see the characters back or full frontal view if that makes sense. I don’t think you can ever put too much effort in your practicing!

  • @frankiewennerIV

    one more thing. i always think about this when you're streaming but that music that you always have is from Extreme road trip 2 the mobile game. good waiting room game. that's all lol.

    • @youhave3verything
      @youhave3verything Рік тому +1

      A trick that a lot of animators use is having something separating parts that are animated separately. You’ll notice a lot of characters have a distinct shirt collar or necklace or a bow tie to separate the head and like on the character that he’s drawing backpack straps separate the arms from the body.

  • @skelliebeeper5693
    @skelliebeeper5693 2 роки тому

    Trying to follow your tutorials and tips is really useful, but there are some things- like your choices in shading colors and how to soften things, that I wish you'd explain a little or spend some more time on.

    You don't need to draw the line all the way across, but how do you know how much to draw? How long should the line be before you stop?
