Yay! More pixel art tutorials!
bro full making uni lectures for pixel art love it if this was a real class i might not be sleeping in the back row
hard to explain just how helpful these tutorials are
Thanks for doing a lesson on faces! I had a general idea on it, but this helped brighten my style choices even more!
That's amazing! Just when I was wondering how can I improve my character's pixel art in my game!
Thank you for this video, it's gonna be extremely helpful! :)
you are the youtuber that explains perfectly
I really appreciate this video! im working on a game of my own (but funnily enough, being a game dev student means i basically work on every game but my passion project.) and i had recently redone my sprites to have a bit more expression, giving them mouths similar to earthbound characters, but i hadn't really delved into stretching those sprite proportions for crazy expressions yet. your videos are always a help, even for a more seasoned spriter like myself ! totally gonna have a lotta fun messing around with getting faces right.
Oh could I maybe try it out
I just spend 20 minutes watching this video. Man, I love pixelart. Thanks Adams
NEW UPLOAD! you are my favorite!
These videos have been a great resource as I start thinking about how to design my characters
Nice video - never thought about hairstyles being for MCs/protags - interesting perspective or hair style choice. Us pixel artists even have to be hair stylists :D
I mostly think about what looks interesting, fun to animate or look at (and can actually pull off lol) and usually the sprite would follow the portrait (like in FFT)
So glad to have found this channel. Videos like this are why.
As an artist you should try to strike a balance between breaking and following rules. If you want your protagonist to have a more "villainois" cut, you can make it work.
One thing I have yet to find any videos on is curly hair. Straight or spikey hair is what you find the most info/resources on for video game pixel art
I really would like to see a video done on this aspect
Awesome stuff. The character turned out cool too.
Thank you for your videos, you are an inspiration. I hope my creations will be as beautiful as yours one day!
Perfect! LOVE ur videos!
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Very helpful, thank you.
I never thought that I could enjoy your content more than I did (which was a lot), but then you mentioned Terraria. :D
Every time I check you discord for notifications I pray for a video finally one came.
Just when I most needed it
Great video Adam!
Well done!
Bodies/anatomy next please.
First one to the party! Thanks for all the informative videos Adam!
Your hair is fantastic
Adam the head collector.
Do you have any advice or starting point for scene transitions, opening scenes that use a more detailed style?
Amazing video!!
Much appreciated mate.
Hello, can't wait to watch :)
keep em coming.....please
i would love a tutorial kinda like this but for animals or non human characters and the like, i find myself doing pixel art for a heavy fantasy setting with many kind of species that aren't human and i struggle the most doing heads on them.
Yaaaaay I'm a lucky new subscriber you're back
Really enjoying Adam's content.
I come from a Vector background, but getting into retro pixel art for our current dungeon project, and picking up a lot of good tips from his videos.
Anyone know the name of the software that he's using to draw/sketch/paste images into?
It looks really useful, being able to set up a board with all sorts of references on, and being able to pan/scroll/zoom in and out easily, as well as make notes on.
Did you found the software?
Woah! Robin! Iconoclasts!
Any thoughts on the best engine to use to make a top-down pixel-art RPG game?
I wonder if you'd ever plan to make a video about "perspective", like how to draw a character facing to the right and stuff like that, because that's SO hard for me... I tend to draw people facing to the camera and use the symmetric tool because that's just easier to do
he has one i think it’s this 8 directional thing video
Maybe next time make characters generator or creatures generator tutorials? Great videos by the way, save me a lot of time. Thanks
I was wondering what is your opinion on Pixelmon? It is an art program, often used to make pixel art and I coulden't find much information about it, I just wonder if you or someone say how good it is?
17:35 how did you remplace the blue with the green so fast ? I had to manually change the color when i do something like this in Asprite :o
In Aseprite, turn off "contiguous" when using the fill tool. It's in the hotbar above the canvas.
@@ellisstanley7361 thanks!!
another hit
What software are you using?
Canvas size?
Nice video
Nice!
giving expressions to heads is hella hard
Please do an analysis on Trials of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 3) 1995. It's easily one of the most beautiful games I've ever played and I think its pixel art is outstanding, to say the least.
could i know how you're doing the animated background on leonardo
It's just a purple background that I'm keying out in OBS for the video. The background in Leonardo isn't moving at all
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR STUFF TO HELP ME DRAW CHARACTERS. THIS IS A GOD SENT GIFT.
Its for sprites :(
Noice
I hVe a lot of eyes. My problem is lips. I cant finish my character :
ty dude
let me tell u something
i had a sensi
he knew all martial arts
but he told me i just teach u like 10%. cuz i spent hard time for learn them
he died cuz cancer about 2 years ago & he buried all his skills with himself

Lmao someone has been watching peripheral?!
I dont understand any of your videos no cap
You lost me at 9:20 . You touch on many already well known areas of pixel art but when you said it was a bad design I had to laugh out loud.
Guys don't listen to this guy, open your own png or bmp and start working on it some of the information this guy is spilling out is flat wrong.
Sometimes we have to be critical of the things we love if we ever hope to improve on them.
Just what I needed today 🫂
