- In this video, I adapt a rough sketch of a cozy vending machine concept into pixel art, and explore new parameters such as a larger canvas size and a painterly finish.

I've added this as an actual card in my shop!✌😊www.redbubble.com/i/postcard/Hot-Chocolate-Vending-Machine-by-BJGpixel/96487784.V7PMD
(and also available as a greeting card and other products!)
You are a genius
Seen you working in this piece, tells me that we work in a similar way, just amazing!
This piece is so beautiful. Makes me feel nostalgic despite it being a futuristic machine! 😊 edit: you should definitely put this one in your store as a card so folks can use it for Christmas!
really hope to see more large-scale canvases like this! really impressive stuff.
I love the vintage feel of the muted colour palette, it's like an illustration from an old magazine
Aaah the line-width gradient "sunset" in the snowglobe was the final touch, really brought it home!!
This is amazing! It turned out really great, all the little details and texture make it so believable! Thanks for sharing Brandon and happy holidays to you! :D
Also... I hate drawing perspective lines so thought I'd share this cool tip: in Photoshop if you select the Polygon tool, click the little cog wheel for path options, and change the star ratio to 1% , then increase the number of sides (the little hash icon) to whatever you like (100 gives you the most perspective lines), you can then click and drag for a bunch of lines that shoot out from a centre point. You can rasterize and duplicate for 2 point perspective or 3 point or whatever, or draw a line through the middle for horizon line :D I don't know if this would work well for pixel art because of the smaller canvas sizes, but its really nice for digital art.
Thanks so much dude! I appreciate the tip as well; I'll have to give that a shot for creating a two-point drawing from scratch next time rather than extracting it from a rough sketch 😅 With a large enough canvas it should be quite readable and useful! And Happy Holidays to you too 🎄✨
this has got to be the best piece that brandon has ever made. I love the perspective, the style, and most of all I love the color. the colors feel incredibly welcoming and warm and I love it.
This channel is so comforting
That was so detailed I thought it was gonna be another picoCAD video! Nicely done!
You're unbelievably good at simply generating ideas, and your execution of the ideas is equally amazing
I really enjoy two-point perspective in pixel art! And really any kind of pixel art that manages to emulate something so ‘organic’ looking out of just tiny squares.
I love the style of this. So cozy. As a musician, I love the choice of music you added as well. Made it even more cozy.
Such a comfy feeling piece, you should definetly do more with this higher resolution / detail level
would be a waste of time considering it would prolly be digital instead of pixel
@@nwut I am not sure what you are trying to say with this. Are you saying higher resolution would lead it to be digital art? You do know that pixel art is a form of digital art, right?
@@kabbyrp no as in doing this in a higher res wouldn't expand on anything and take much longer if he didnt do regular digital instead
@@nwut Well for one it would be more challenging to keep track of the details and ruleset that come with pixel art, 'regular' digital art or vector art has a different ruleset and guidelines.
So really it comes down to 'do I want to do this?' and not 'will it be worth it/more challenging?', it definitely will be.
@@j_r0w yeah I agree. I think I probably phrased my og reply wrongly though.
many that vending machine is cozy. Just so warm feeling. It makes me happy.
this higher res look is so cool!
I really, REALLY like this one
Really Like the pallet for this one. Awesome work Brandon
This is wonderful. So absolutely cool.
i dunno if it's just me, but i could totally see that vending machine being in a like, cyberpunk point-and-click game from the 90s. also i wanna say that it looks beautiful!
This looks so cold but cozy at the end. It's perfect
I just got back into pixel art, and I've been exploring larger canvases and more painterly styles of approaching it. I really like your method of overlaying you colors at different the opacity to create a varied color palette that has harmony.
This is like a pixelated water colour. Great work!
You are a godsend for learning pixel art. i download all your videos and hide them away for future generations in case you disappear from UA-cam
A cool thing to do when working with 2 point perspective is to not doing a symmetrical setup. You can actually move one of the vanishing points. In this piece you could move the right vanishing point to the left to get a more dynamic artwork, also more similar to your original sketch.
This is some of your most beautiful work to date dude. Hope to see more of this kinda style, absolutely amazing. You're such an inspiration.
Very cool (or maybe, hot?) idea about going deliberately out of line bounds and using desaturated colors - indeed it brings watercolors to mind :)
I think it would look good also in sepia tones - like a sketched scheme from an old book :)
Haha thanks!🔥 Yeah the sepia look would be cool - especially with additional callouts that make it more like a diagram/schematic :D
I love the perspective on this!
The penguin!!! 🥺
This was really cool to watch, it was especially neat to see how you dealt with some of the difficult lines. Really enjoyed the end-result there with the snow & lines through the sun ✨
Do you think this higher-rez style is something that you'll revisit more often? It could be really cool to get some tutorials in this style, just like your lower-rez ones! 🤩
Thanks so much!✌️🐧✨
Yeah I think I'll try to keep up with more of these every now and then; perhaps some full scenes, although I also really like the detailed look at a single object - it's neat to approach world-building through the finer details on an object :D
This was so cool to watch! It might just be your most interesting time lapse yet! I really dig the stylistic choices you went for.
This makes my day. Honestly this is amazing and makes me wanna do some physical painting
Good lord this is just gorgeous work!
YO brandon always fire videos and workflow I love them man keep them coming, huge respect
HWAAA!~ Sooo cozy! Wormin my way up to higher res someday
Loving this style and rendering detail!
Thanks for sharing your workflow and inspiring many of us, hope to see more of your timelapse contents in the future.
this is absolutely beautiful work, wow
Thank you for these videos. They are inspiring and have prompted me to get back into pixel art after several years of hiatus. I’ve recently discovered your channel and quickly found myself eagerly looking forward to your new videos. Great content.
Thanks so much, nice to hear it's helping you get back into it! Best of luck with your pixel art and thanks for the support! :D
I want to live in a universe with this aesthetic.
This peice looks so good, I love the painterly feel it has. Great work!
This is unreasonably wholesome 🥰
This may be my favorite piece you've done so far. Wonderful concept and execution. Bravo!
Wonderful clarity and linework. Probably your best piece yet.
You are a star, Brandon, what a wealth of information! Thank you so much for taking the time to put it together x
Absolutely beautiful work! So glad I found this channel
Man, this one was surprisingly soothing. Love it.
My favorite pixel art so far (regardless of the higher res). You've improved a lot since you've created this channel (as far as I can judge)
It always feels like you are improving with your art skills. Every new work is impressive !👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video, the stepping through of your thought process is really helpful for a beginner to understand what goes behind making a pixel art piece. Thank you!
Thank you for providing this video!
Absolutely love your channel! I like to have these playing while I work on some of my own pixel art. Great stuff!
AUGH this is so awsome! Ive always felt intimidated doing pixel art, but this insight has really allowed me to understand things I can expect. very cool!!
It would be great to see more work in this styling! Really great job
I wanna see more of this! I love your pixel art process!
This looks so good!
This is too cute, kind of makes me want to cry
You did a great job with the colors!
great artwork! looks like a ghibli style thing, but in pixel art!
Oh didn't really think of that but I could totally see it! Might have to pull some reference next time to lean into the Ghibli style ✨
Man you really nailed the high-res look. This looks fantastic
AWESOME AS ALWAYS
i'm in love with your pixel art! it always looks so pleasing to look at and it inspires me to get back into pixel art too! i used to do some a couple of years ago on ms paint, but i quickly lost motivation since i didn't have a lot of patience back then. i'll try it out again! keep up the amazing work!
Loved the colors
This is a masterpiece Brandon!
I've been watching you for a while and man you improve as such a quick rate! Keep up the amazing work!
Looks beautiful
That´s beautiful.
this turned out great!!!
i love this kind of art.
Interesting, nice and cool. Thank you for sharing.
Absolute beauty 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Excelente trabajo 👌
This is fucking amazing. Its giving me if ghibli was pixel art
Jeez, man. The hi-res definitely suits your outside-the-lines, almost watercolor like coloring style. I'd love to see you dabble in some non-pixel art pieces sometime. :)
You are just too good. Love it, videos are awesome
pixel art aside (and this is some really cool color work and use of "high res" pixel details!!!) your sketches already look so cool, you're very talented
Beautiful
Ah!! I've been wanting to see you draw in a large scale canvas and you really really nailed this one!! huhu you should definetely do a draw this in your style challenge! I would def join!!
Very very beautiful.
i’d love to see you try to recreate this in picocad! i think that would be really fun with all of the sharp angles and shapes!
The coloring style really reminds me of Studio Ghibli's films, absolutely stunning!
man thats amazing
Wow you are very talented my guy
I may be because of the scale, but it's one of my favorite creation by you !
this is sick
very rad :) happy holidays
This came out so good! Would love to see you do a higher pixel count every so often.
Can you sell actual postcards with this? I'd fucking frame it if i could, too! It's beautiful!
i second this
I third this
Haha thanks! And yep, here it is! www.redbubble.com/i/postcard/Hot-Chocolate-Vending-Machine-by-BJGpixel/96487784.V7PMD
I would honestly love to have that thing printed on like a shirt or someshit. It looks soo cool
So pretty
Pretty neat doood
a lovely video as always :)
Awesome
This one's on me, but I was sitting the whole video wondering when he was going to turn the vending machine into a time-machine. But it was a "vending MACHINE TIME-lapse", and my mind auto-translated that into a "hot chocolate time-machine" for some reason. :P
But as always, I love your content, and it was greatly executed! :D
cute as fuck concept
looooove this
This looks soo nice. I think you should do a holiday post card series and actually print them into real products. I would buy it, it looks much better than most ones I have seen so far.
Doesn't look too bad! =) I would imagine if we had one of these machines in the future! =D
*chef's kiss*
The sketches look better than my final art 😉
You know, from a distance, it looks a lot like normal digital art!
This looks so good! Could the next one be about studying the style of pokemon sprites? I'm talking the ones that are 64x64 pixels that you see in the battles
