Thank you so much! I feel like a lotta artists and devs need foundational tutorials. And going step-by-step does allow for these techniques to be showcased in each situations 😊
Farm tile outlines are darker than grass outlines, which might give the impression that the player can't walk through them. Usually, farm tiles themselves shouldn't stand out too much, crops should. Anyway, very good tutorial, keep this up!
Ahh yes Most tiles are designed with a designated light source. Unique game types (top down, side scroller, isometric etc.) has unique light source. I've made a guide on how light and shadow behave in each cases here if you're interested ua-cam.com/channels/HHeduCs0IIrPFPGGYI5fkg.htmlcommunity?lb=UgkxZ43nhEv_6xbDe1_hRwqOnBuKBTkrr07j Hope this helps, Nomoos!
I think its really sweet how you made a tutorial on this, i dont know if you already planned on making this tutorial but i saw a comment on a recent video of you asking about this, so youre definitely helping them :D
I just loved your work! I'm feeling a lot more confident in learning pixel art now, thanks a lot! I've being studying programming by years and trying game development, and I always struggle trying to use premade assets from other artists. Gonna start making my own art.
Yayy I’m glad this inspires you! Imagine one day you’ll be publishing your own game with your own art, that would be so awesome haha! If you do, just send me a message and I’ll be there to support 🥳
yeah premade assets always tend to not have everything you need. Like you'll grab a tileset and it doesnt have everything for auto-tiling for example. Once you get fairly good at pixel art nothing is stopping you
Awesome video. I’ve really struggled getting good looking ground. Gonna try this out. Any chance you could do a video on how you made your grass? Looks amazing 🤩
Thank you so much Kamel! I remember you from the last video 😁 I’m glad that you’re here haha! I’ll try my best to create more content in this kind of artstyle. Btw if you have any suggestion, just let me know!
May I know how do you choose the color palette? Thank you for making this tutorial. I just started to learn how to do pixel art and your videos help a lot.
I think that's a very good question and the answer might require some demonstration. Generally I see a lot of people pick their color based on intuition. There are some rules when it comes to picking colors like color value, hue shifting etc., which is good to know but can get quite overwhelming if you're just starting out. Generally all color choices links back to color theory, which is how saturations, hues and value behaves or connected to each other. Marco Bucci explained it quite well in his video here ua-cam.com/video/gJ2HOj22gDo/v-deo.html But the palette choices will be based on your own environment. These are the colors I choose (dark to light): #5c2f27 #663931 #713e35 #7e4339 (I try to limit the color palette to around 3-5 colors) I first choose the base color #663931 (which is the middle brown color in the default palette). From there, I choose a much darker shade #5c2f27 for the shadow. This one has a deeper lightness and saturation (basically diagonally darker) compare to the base color since it lies deep within the seedbed and doesn't receive that much light. Why I gave this darker shade more saturation is cause i just like a richer shadow color and it fits the farm vibe :) also, value wise, I don't have to go deeper to black (but, personal choice). Then for the brightest highlight #7e4339, I just kinda wing it and go up a bit (not too far up cause I don't want the highlight's color value to be close to any color value on other objects like dirt and grass). The middle color #713e35 is something in the middle on the line going from the base color to the highlight. Later on it might get complicated when each surface has different hues. But for now, and for this case, that's how I pick the color palette I might make videos going more into color theory in the future ~maybe
Nice you're making more pixel art tutorials! Very helpful! I love your little critter in the pumpkin.... Sooooo cute!! Wish i could pet'em. Does your critter bite? I hope not.... 😅 By the way, how do you overlay your tips box while drawing on aseprite/libresprite? I'm guessing... Post production magick?! 🎉 😮
Yes, and there might be even more of them. So I guess you could pet them all I haven't seen its teeth yet though. And ye, that's post production magic lol. I wish there's a tool to automatically overlay it, would be much faster 😁
@hanapixelme Really? Yay! I love little critters! You're such a talented pixel artist, and your character portrait is gorgeous, great job! Hmm... Haven't seen its teeth yet? No matter! Just gotta keep the little critter extra happy! ❤️ ... And the belly well fed too lol 😅
It's good to see more people helping others with pixel art since there are few good tutorials on the internet
That's my goal haha
I absolutely LOVE your videos, and enjoy learning and developing as a new pixel artist with you.
I would love to see a water tile set in the future!
thank you thank you! yes i'll put that up for consideration in future videos
both wonderful and inspiring tutorials i hope you make more!
Thanks for this and keeping it step by step. It is in those small details that I see where I am missing something !
Thanks Louis! I’m glad that each step helped you out 😊
I love how you go through all the steps. It's very easy to follow! Keep up the good work! 😄

I'm not the kind of person into farming simulators (as I work on a farm irl), but the video production is great as always! Keep it up!
Haha thank you so much
Liking these vids a lot, thanks for the tutorial
Thank you so much! I’ll try my best to make more 🎉
Part 2 is the friends we made along the way
Haha real

Good point! I'll look into it
Cool this will help me understand how to use tilesets in javascript and why I cannot just rotate them without thinking. ♥

Haha yess I want to help out as much as I can! 😁
Awesome video, working on a tile set for a game now, and your last video and this were really helpful, can't wait for the next one.
Oh that's great! I'd love to hear more about your game. If you need anything or have any request, feel free to send me a message!
What an awesome tutorial!
thank you so much
this is super helpful. thank you so much!
I'm glad you find the video helpful Stay tune for more!

Thank you I'm glad the video helped you out. Yes maybe I'll make some grass tiles in the future ;)
beautiful style of videos and an amazing tutorial! your artstyle is one of my favourites

how did you make the grass tiles ? it look so good can you make teach us how to make it , grass tiles connect to dirt one
Thank you 🥰 I’ll make grass tutorials maybe in the future!
could we get a grass tutorial? maybe including side-viewed tiles besides top down? :)
Yes I’ll have them made soon 🥰

@@LifePlusPixelArtGames thank you little critter always ask for more food even after its fed 😆
I love your voice 😊
Thank you 🥰
Are you planning to make this to a real game? I can help you making this to a game.
I'm not sure yet. right now I'm just making it for the video :p
@@hanapixelme That is fine. I love your videos.
