I've looked for a lot of grass tutorials and your way of explaining and guiding towards inspiration like on Pinterest was soooo appreciated keep up the work.
I'm in college for game design. I love your videos. I'm mainly good at programming but I've always wanted to be good at pixel art. Every time I watch your videos I feel 10x better at it. Thank you a million times for your tutorials
Pixel art is great for programmers to learn because its way easier to create something decent :) Also I love it because it takes less time and when you do game jams time is crucial.
Thanks Pixel Pete for these awesome videos, Been watching a lot of them before bed now for a few days. Today is Payday for me so I clicked on one of your videos to get Aseprite through you! Another way to show my appreciation for these videos. I will be looking into the game as well. I truly want to become an artist like yourself!
Pete, just wanted to give you a huge thanks, your videos are down to earth and easy to follow. Your personal insights go a long way, too. Thank you and I can't wait to see more.
My friends and I are working on a game of our own, (We're making an indie company with it and such) And it's gonna be the start to something HOPEFULLY awesome. I'm making the pixel art, I've done pixel art before but this is the first time making a game while doing so. I plan on using more of yer tutorials because these are incredible and super helpful. From one aspiring dev to another actual dev, thank you! Hope to see you out there someday ;D
Bro, you are incredible at explaining, I have a big doubt, I have always heard that as a beginner you have to work with a reduced color palette, but when doing the hue shifting I am adding more colors to the palette, I am confused. btw I'm Mexican and I don't speak English but I understood 99% of what you said.
You don't need to have a reduced palette. It is easier and faster to use less colors but more colors often makes the art work look better. However to make things aesthetic (look good) you should pick dominant (main) colors that control the mood / theme of the art.
you should make a book. You have so much great information. It be a shame it be lost. Your tutorials are helping me alot. I can draw real good on paper, but pixel art has its own rules and schemes. And your making me think of art in a whole new way. I also think their aren't many books on the subject. Be nice to see something like this published.
If I had you like 4 years ago, I wouldn't have done like the worst grass tiles ever. (Of course I could have used references, however, my mindset was different at during that time it felt like cheating. ) Thanks for your awesome tutorials!
Thanks for this! I have learnt so much from your tutorials! I wishlisted dwerve on steam because it is the least i could do to repay you for everything you have helped me with! I am gonna redo my grass tiles now lol
Pinterest is great for pixel art ideas: I use it quite often, since there's a lot of useful inspiration material. I'd love a tutorial on pixel characters. Have you ever thought about making one? Also, are you still giving away Aseprite keys? Am I too late to get one? Keep up the good work!
This is the exact kind of channel I wanted to watch, and then youtube gods recommend you. Perfection! And if you have an extra key laying around I would love to follow along!
Honestly, I´m not much of an Artist or anything fancy like that. I lust like fooling around with Pixels in Aseprite... sooo I decided to watch some tutorials on how to draw stuff that looks actually like stuff... and here I am... and man.. I love those videos, they are helpful, neither too complicated nor to simple and funny
Okay I know this is an old video, but I was wandering what dimensions I should put for my starting canvas? Like when I first open a new file what pixel size should I use? You seem to use more than 32x32 and you do multiple drawings on one page Just wandering!
Thanks, this is really in depth and helpful! Next time, could you leave in some kind of source for the examples? Like a little tag under the images. I'm really curious about what games-in-development some of these are from. Plus it helps out the devs! :)
Hi there, love your videos! I read that you use Unity as a game engine, and I assume you're using tilemapping? Were you able to figure out a strategy for the lines that sometimes appear between tiles? I keep trying different things (like turning off AA) but nothing seems to eliminate the lines between tiles.
Your videos are the best tutorials I've found for someone just starting out. You have some awesome techniques. I love learning the little shortcuts in Aesprite to make things feel right.
I've been following you now! Your video helps me a lot, even helping me to introduce pixel art to my students! You might be not noticing but the impact of your help in this video is so big, that I no longer creating grass resembles a green middle finger from the green ground! Also, are you still giving keys? :3
I compile my Aseprite from source like A REAL MAN :'D Might buy it one day, but for now I stick to compiling it myself, as I don't do that much pixelart to get it.
I need a key for this sprite program. Have any more active ones? I love your work and am just starting out. I have game maker studio 2 but this program looks a little easier to use.
so my question is can you make a pixel art in higher pixels and then shrink it .. i been trying to replicate like rpg makers characters but they keep looking too square like idk how they do it so please help i like the chibi character style
@@PeterMilko Cool! Do you have full-time job and creating the game in free time? I have a nice idea for the game, making it actually but dont have as much time as i would like to have, and after studies I want to work on it as i mentioned. I like your project mostly cause of cool pixel art but for idea too!:)
Nice little tutorial! What's the shortcut for displaying the grid like you did a few times? I've set my background to 8x8, but I'd like an 8x8 grid to show up on top of things sometimes too.
OMG fail, I forgot to mention the key is redeemable on humblebundle! :P
i couldnt find a way to redeem a key on humble bundle
I've looked for a lot of grass tutorials and your way of explaining and guiding towards inspiration like on Pinterest was soooo appreciated keep up the work.
not making a game. not doin pixel art. just think ur a really good/cool creator who needs more subs. :)
oh man that was really nice, thanks!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm in the exact same situation.

The youtube overlords have deemed you worthy of my attention. They believed I would be interested in grass.
They were completely correct. Subbed xD
Haha thanks for the sub! Next video will be water :) Editing it now.
Thanks Pixel Pete for these awesome videos, Been watching a lot of them before bed now for a few days. Today is Payday for me so I clicked on one of your videos to get Aseprite through you!

One about water would be really nice ;)

Congratulations man. I really enjoy the way you lead your channel. Simple, nice and funny vibe and great content. Thanks :)
Really chill
Good explanation of pushing those pixels! :)
smoked rocks last video, now we burning the grass... what's next? mushrooms?
crystals
@@PeterMilko ha.. "snow"
Thanks now I’m looking at the grass in every fucking pixel game.
Great content. I’m remember you if I ever get into game development
Hi! I'm creating my own 2d game and I just wanted to say that your tutorials help me a lot, please keep teaching us the basics :D
Dude laughs at the most inappropriate times lol
Your tutorials are very practical and straight to the point. Also I'll be sure to buy your game when it comes out!
Thanks, we will do a kickstarter early next year :)
Cool man. I love this. I used to make skins for an old game (Starsiege) using paint, pixel by pixel. Those were the good old days.
damn, the key is used already
Pete, just wanted to give you a huge thanks, your videos are down to earth and easy to follow. Your personal insights go a long way, too. Thank you and I can't wait to see more.
Thanks for the video tutorial. I really like your approach on grass sprites!

Great Tutorial, Really helped me take my grass from amateur straight lines to much more clean and proper looking.

that "Dev life" made me click the follow button
Wait so you just *give out* Aseprite keys?! Dude if you have anymore that would be such a life saver! Please hmu, man!
I will try to get more
@@PeterMilko You are seriously awesome, dude.

"If you want a key let me know"
Me, three years later: haha that would be nice
1:49 The way he said Aseprite 💀
lol
Wow! First time watching a video of yours and it's very very awesome :) Good job and thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Your tutorials have been helping me so much. I hop you get more tutorials out!
I see you coveted the most arcane art to yourself:
How the heck do you copy-paste multiple layers ?
Thanks for this! I have learnt so much from your tutorials! I wishlisted dwerve on steam because it is the least i could do to repay you for everything you have helped me with! I am gonna redo my grass tiles now lol
Glad I could help!
Never been any good at drawing/art, but your videos are just interesting to watch.
Pinterest is great for pixel art ideas: I use it quite often, since there's a lot of useful inspiration material.
I'd love a tutorial on pixel characters. Have you ever thought about making one?
Also, are you still giving away Aseprite keys? Am I too late to get one?
Keep up the good work!
I will keep giving away keys and I plan to do character design too!
These are great man! Thanks a lot for doing these videos, super helpful
Button that thing up
thank you for such an in-depth tutorial, this is awesome
This was just what I needed! Thanks!!!!
This is the exact kind of channel I wanted to watch, and then youtube gods recommend you. Perfection!
And if you have an extra key laying around I would love to follow along!
3:14 was that a tiny cat attacking?
You and AdamCYounis have helped me SO MUCH in developing my own game!

Really nice tutorial, used this to upgrade the grass in my game, looking forward to videos on characters (especially side views, they're hard...)!
Could you make a tutorial on edge if the grass
Ohhhh this is soo coool @.@ great tutorial!
Really easy for me to pay attention and learn!
Your channel is a godsend. Thanks!
Keep up those PA 101 tutorials they're great!
Excellent pedagogy on a very pointy subject, thanks !
Okay I know this is an old video, but I was wandering what dimensions I should put for my starting canvas? Like when I first open a new file what pixel size should I use? You seem to use more than 32x32 and you do multiple drawings on one page
Just wandering!
hmmm... tht recent searches on pinterest tho...
omg lolz I love it when people notice stuff like that. Sometimes I do it on purpose other times I don't
No matter what please keep making videos, you are a god send fam
Aight, I got you
Hey in a future Pixel 101 can you talk about character design?
Thanks for the tutorial guy its so hard to find anyone who does pixel art
Thanks for teaching me grass sprite design my god awful grass has improved greatly and not so awful anymore. Thanks!

Thank you dud!
Aseprite is so amazing!
so helpful! Thank you!

I can't believe this content is all free, you're great at explaining these concepts! I'm fairly new to pixel art, loving the vids.
Hey, just wanted to say i love your content, it helps a lot :D Thanks for the time u put into these videos :)

Can moss be made using this too?
hey Pete, thank you for the tutorials I'm actually so glad that i'm learning something :) U are a cool dude .
what game is it that appears "1:35" ?
Your videos are the best tutorials I've found for someone just starting out. You have some awesome techniques. I love learning the little shortcuts in Aesprite to make things feel right.
Any thoughts on making some videos about animating background things like grass and bushes?
@@scottharris2285 yeah sure ill make some :)
Any advice for more zoomed out grass?
like in the old final fantasy world maps or in the old Fire emblem games
2:35 how did you do that?
I pressed the hotkey for grid to show. Go to hotkeys and look for grid.
@@PeterMilko thanks.
What game is that image with the girl crossing the river on a bridge? Looks beautiful
what do the keys do

Bob Ross art lessons for the digital age! I'm lovin it!
yeah lol
Hey bro I am trying to make a pixel game can u suggest with how many pixels should I start ?
That would be a great help
How do you randomize tiles in Aseprite ?
Do you have a video on how to make a preset like this in Aseprite?
What preset? The layout? Yeah its in my Asperite tips video.
Not sure if you're still giving out keys for the program, but I would love one! This video helped me out significantly in a game jam. Love the content
Need that copy of Aseprite!
I need a key for this sprite program. Have any more active ones? I love your work and am just starting out. I have game maker studio 2 but this program looks a little easier to use.
How do you get your tools rearranged like that?
I'll make a video about it
@@PeterMilko alright great thank you!! Please let me know when you upload it.
1:50 ASSeprite? :D
You are a G thank you
Are keys still available for Aseprite?
so my question is can you make a pixel art in higher pixels and then shrink it .. i been trying to replicate like rpg makers characters but they keep looking too square like idk how they do it so please help i like the chibi character style
POV: you have no idea how to draw but you want to make a game
You are awsome man! :D How much people are working on dwerve? Progress is really impressive.
There are 2 core devs but we have some help for certain things. We will do kickstarter early next year.
@@PeterMilko Cool! Do you have full-time job and creating the game in free time? I have a nice idea for the game, making it actually but dont have as much time as i would like to have, and after studies I want to work on it as i mentioned. I like your project mostly cause of cool pixel art but for idea too!:)
@@antonim8714 I work part-time then work on Dwerve. However I will be quiting my job soon.
What’s this about a key for Aseprite?
So, how does he change the whole selection's color? I've been making a new color and mousing back over everything
Also how does he select and copy/paste both layers?
Can I have the original image of the thumbnail, please? :D
Which of these videos are about game bot pixel art?
Nice little tutorial! What's the shortcut for displaying the grid like you did a few times? I've set my background to 8x8, but I'd like an 8x8 grid to show up on top of things sometimes too.
Ctrl + ' (i cant remember if i set it to that :P )
@@PeterMilko Thanks! I'll check my keyboard shortcuts. :)
This is the first video I saw of you!
thnx for your lessons :)
Please make some trees:) Love your videos!
Ill probably do that this weekend.
Is there a dev log for your game?
9:18 "Anodah wan"
So is the free key request still a thing?
