    Would like to second the request for a video on lighting/shadows. If not that, I'd love a video on how to better distinguish background art from foreground interactables (and how many pixel-art platformers fail to do that well).

    This video is the one thing that finally opened my eyes as to why my highlights and shading looked so wonky!! I could never put my finger on it until your mentioning of DECREASING saturation as a color get BRIGHTER and changing the hue as a color gets darker or lighter!! Thank you so much and I love your channel!

    The color palette always is the hardest part for me, it gets so hard to flat color the thing and it's so frustrating.
    But this definitely teached me something

    Figuring out colors is one of the hardest parts of drawing for me, and a large part of why I've been struggling to pick up Krita. Too many tools, and too many things to figure out simultaneously. Thank you for this brief explanation of color palettes, I will be making good use of it over the next few months.

  • @pavelperina7629
    @pavelperina7629 Рік тому +8

    Interesting. It might be also good to use LCH (luminance, chroma, hue) palette instead of HSV. Advantage is better matching of luminance across color spectrum if that matters. Problem is that not all combinations are valid, so sometimes, it's like choosing the most saturated color available. They lose saturation towards white and black. But it's hard to work with it cause it's not widespread and only way to generate palette is either online utility or script.

    I understand this is more of a theory video but i wanted to talk about the examples at 2:44.
    What is called beginner method has what we know is more contrast, and the advanced method is more washed out. but we obviously being pixel art we want it to pop out as much as we can. So… and this is my theory (only experience is truly only through photoshop photo’s and thumbnails, which i do have experience in) we could mix these styles, although i know some people may think its messy from the pixels artists eye.
    For example in this picture if we keep the same contrast and palette for the main subject being (presumably) tree house and even the wood then we use the bluer->yellower (advanced palette) for the leaves it will make the tree house pop more. And give more meaning and vibrancy to the image.
    This is probably something you wouldn’t want to recommend for a darker art style, but even then if you want something to pop this will definitely help. Theoretically.

  • @jordant10
    @jordant10 2 роки тому +3

    First of all thanks for the video, it's really helpful! I'm very new to trying my hand at pixel art for a game and am wondering about the scope of colour palettes.
    Would you use different color palettes for different levels or the one colour palette for the entire game?
    Additionally is there an upper limit of how many colours should be included in a palette?
    Thanks :)

    • @PixelOverloadChannel
      @PixelOverloadChannel  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for watching! As long as all the colours work well together, you can pretty much do anything you want.
      For the different palettes for different levels, some people have a big enough palette that they can just pick a handful of those colours for different 'biomes', but I don't see a problem with having entirely different palettes for different levels.

I’m just starting pixel art and have been watching many tutorials on shading/light sources/shadows but don’t really understand anything. I’ve gone and read through Pedro Medeiros’ Shading pixel art article as requested from a tutorial but I still really don’t understand anything. Thank you :)
