    Pixel art is perfect for new people to get into art. All pieces are like a small logic game because of the pixel limitation. It's just fun :) And use references, study other's work to see how they did things. It's not a shame to learn and be inspired by others.

      Every art is inspired by others or by nature, if you're making a fantasy creature for example, even though it's your own creative idea it's still inspired by things like animals in one way or another, you're just taking all the inspiration and knowledge about our universe and thinking about different ways to modify it to come up with your own creation. So whoever is reading this don't hesitate to copy others(as long as you're not breaking any copyright laws), get inspired because that's how you learn art. You analyze what's already out there, try to copy it, and modify it (this is where you get creative).

    A software I recommend if you are a beginner who does not know yet if they want to do pixel art is Piskel. It is so simple you won't need any tutorials on it and you can just work on things like outlines and color without needing to worry about how to get to the correct tab tools like the paint bucket. It has less tools than other software, but intentionally so that it is easy for anyone to use.

  • @allluckyseven
    @allluckyseven 5 років тому

    In regards to using (or preferring) a Tablet or a Mouse... I may use both, for the same reasons you described. If I want to sketch something, a tablet may help (depending on the size of the piece, especially), because at that early stage I'm not interested in being precise, I'm interested in being fast. But when I do need to be precise, which is most of the time, I will use a mouse.
    EDIT: Actually, I may even use pencil and paper to sketch things out.

    @PutridCarcass11 5 років тому +13

    I found that Krita is a very close substitute for Photoshop and it is free. I used to use GIMP, but to me it always felt way too clunky or just not as intuitive, and I know Jazza did a video on different programs and he much preferred Krita as well.
    As far as what I prefer to draw with, if I'm drawing low-res pixel art, then I use the mouse, but if I'm drawing bigger stuff then I'll use the drawing pad since it feels more natural to me to just draw it and not need to be so particular in pixel placement.
    Also, awesome videos man these tutorials have helped me out a lot and have been very entertaining to watch!

      Simone Starace agreed but to preview animation there's no timeline and it is actually layers. So you can use layers for pixel art. Correct me if I'm wrong. I dunno if there is a way to add timeline.

    @KesorodaBlk 5 років тому +1

    I have been using MS Paint since Windows 98, and I continue to use it even on Windows 8 and Windows 10. I use my own letters and some of the default colors, but mostly like to experiment with new ideas and colors.
    Some of my characters I've drawn originated in Paint, then I drew them on paper. OI wonder how many people know that?
    Sometimes, I make use of programs such as the latest version of Game Maker, the same one that people made certain Nintendo Switch games with, but since I don't know ho to program, I just use it's various tools to edit my own original character sprites and stuff.
    As far as outlines, I've been wanting to not use black, but a color more similar to the outermost color.
    I look back at my old sprites and some recolonize and I'm like "wow, these are so old. What was I doing?"

    I use pixaki on my iPad with Ipencil, starting to use aseprite which is really fun just getting use to layout and learning by your video and my Udemy course by Marco Vale. Downfall with pixaki that you can’t name layers and recover stuff that I’ve accidentally deleted 😭. Trying to get studying done but sometimes impossible juggling adult life as a parent of two boys and a husband 😂. I also dabble I guess is the right word with blender, affinity and substance painter but will have to re-read and re-learn a lot.

    I'm staring my pixel art because I think it is more convenient than realism (trad). I hope this style will work out for me.

    3:06 Ngl on a Scale of just Pixels you don't need a Tablet. A Mouse may even be more percise.
    Furthermore, some of the key features of a tablet like Pressure Levels most of the Time are pretty much useless in Pixel Art.
    Though when you do HD digital art, a Tablet is necissary imo.
