Dude, my artwork has gotten so much better since I started watching your tutorials. Can't wait for DWERVE!
Dude, I couldn't even comprehend how to properly pixel art and after, like, three videos, suddenly it's easy.
Me too. This dude and MortMort are a godsend.
@@inceptional dont forget Brandon James Greer hes godlike
Same dude
Me too
Your videos are still informational 3 years later. You have got to be my favorite tutorial artist on UA-cam.
Thanks! Join the discord :)
"You probably don't need to draw a pixel art button"
You could make a video on just about anything concerning pixel art and I'd still watch it and take notes.
you should do an episode on animation and compare and contrast different sprite sizes e.g 64x64
"Avoid text so you don't need to translate it"
Genius!
Thank you
Everyone has their own way of spriting and making buttons, But your tips are still awesome!
there are so many terraria noises
is someone playing terraria in the background
I think he is afk on a farm
You missed how to make them look like they are pressed down, which is really important in communicating the state of the button
It's crazy that I did pretty much everything in this video on my own buttons, without ever really knowing about half of this stuff specifically. Or maybe I did, but more as just general rules of lighting and shading and good visual balance and so on. The one thing it took me many, many years to click onto however was hue shifting. So critical to creating appealing lighting and shade in art and yet so elusive obvious.
Very interesting to witness the difference that colors make to our eyes. Even just a simple changes the sense of the sound when you push the button. Amazing.
Hey I know you already did a video where you made some character sprites but if you could do one more focused on making 16x16 characters that'd be really cool. May be in the future, when you run out of other ideas haha.

What you're using for your buttons here is something called skeuomorphism or skeuomorphic design, which is where a digital representation of something tries to look like the actual thing in the real world because people immediately understand the function of the real-world object even in visual form. So, a button looking like an actual physical button that has 3D shape and can be pressed down. A volume knob would actually be made to look like a knob you can turn; a switch like an actual switch that can be flicked on and off; a slider like an actual 3D sliders you can move up and down; and so on. Sadly, modern designers seem to be moving away from this and just using flat graphics that don't really mean anything at all, particularly on modern mobile devices, which I personally find a step backwards. If you compare how the UI for the original iPhone was designed vs the new design, you will see the old one uses skeuomorphism perfectly, where the back button actually looked like a physical button, for example, but in the new design it's often hard to tell what's interactive, what's just background and what's just part of the overall image artwork. Not sure exactly sure why some people think this new design style is better, but I'm not one of them. I like what you are doing more.
Dude your explanation of pixel art is better than any video on UA-cam. You’re so easy to follow!! These are like *the videos I’ve been waiting for* Where have you been all my life?🤣
im so glad you mentioned hue shifting, that is literally a life changer that many people ignore but it makes your art so much better!
What is amazing about your video is that you not only achieve an amazing result but you show the whole creative and experimental process you go through. It feels something much more achievable when you do that.
I love the cinematic camera shot for your intros and outros! It gives the whole video a very cool feell.
that button looks really satisfying to push
This is the first pixel tutorial I've ever watched and I think I'm gonna stick with your channel! I like how you show your process from scratch and also offer different cool techniques as alternatives
What about pushing these buttons? This content was great, but I was waiting for that the whole time. ;)
What would be interesting is to also see the pressed version of the button
yeah for sure, but the video was already getting long lol
I’ve always wanted to make a game, and thanks to you, my dream is actually coming true! Thanks so much!
Man you explain things very clear, i really like your videos :D
thanks!
Really cool man - I just got into pixel art a couple of months ago and I've found the energy you give off in your videos pretty awesome. Caught myself chuckling or grinning a few times from your mannerisms, and the way you teach is really calming and helpful! /followed
Glad to help
Fantastic tutorial as always! Can't describe the elation I feel when I see a new upload! Keep up the great work {Dev Lyfe}
Man I love your tutorials. Me who was always bad at art produces some acceptable pixel art with your tips ☺️
Thats awesome!
Watched this as inspiration for re-doing my Minecraft UI. :)
Keep making vidz like this Pete . I love your them and I am sure other people do too!
"A button is meant to look like it can be pressed"
Sounds so obvious, yet we see less and less of it (outside of video games)
yup
I've never seen a button graphic with this much depth in a long time.
This makes me wonder:
Why do I understand what's clickable and what's not on my phone? Because many buttons on my phone don't look like buttons. AT ALL!
They don't even have an outline or shadow.
Its metro design. Solid color etc, it has its own visual language that you now understand.
Great artwork! Loooooooove pixel art buttons! 😍😍😍
Hello! Loving this tutorials so far! Thank you so much for all of them :)
The only thing I would suggest too if you want the buttons to look more 3d like, is making the bottom parts of the TEXT (or the sign of play, pause, etc.) larger and the parts on the top smaller. This way it gives the intended effect of seeing it from an angle instead of having a full-on-top view even more. For some of them it's kind of hard since you don't have lots of space; but if you have big buttons, you can try this and it will look amazing (at least imo).
6:32 Wacky Tobaccy always makes mis ojos dry too
Wish listed dwerve on steam awhile ago. I’m very excited, I hope that some years down the line your able to port it to switch as well
Man I love your tips, they're useful, and I want to make good sprites!
Hahaha! I love the littel sound effect in this, like the eye drops xDD
Tip: Most fonts work well at sizes that are multiples of 2 and plus the previous multiple, such as 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 etc :)
Edit: It's pronounced fl-urr-ish, not floor-ish, hahah
Thanks, so after 32 would be the 7th multiple of 2 plus 32?
@@Jack-tm4er Yep :)
For my games I go for a minimalistic-simplistic design, my buttons are usually not much shadowed but they're easy to understand
wow amazing how small changes make a big difference
A few minor things that bothered me - the arrow of the second kind of button was too much to the left, the close ("inner") corners of the cool button look jagged and the top part of the golden border of the final button doesn't look like a mirror image of the bottom part (even while taking the 3D-ish look into account). I think the part with the pink gems should be a pixel lower, too, in order to account for how the button base is about 5 pixels lower than its top face.
So this video is basically flexing pixelart button making skills :)
New favourite youtube channel.
You have a great personality.
Thank you so much! :) I just started pixel art and this helped a lot.
The pink button at the end looks like strawberry cake on a golden tray. (For the bratty princess in the castle no doubt)
damn. i did the buttons for my game a week ago xD
Nice video Pete and Dwerve looks amazing, can't wait till it releases
I'm from Brazil.
I love your art man ;)
I'm making a game and THIS HELPS A LOT THANK U
yooo, thats quite useful, Im really happy that I found your channel 2 months ago :)
does anyone hear the dungeon guardian sound in the intro?
Play looks like a foreign language now that I've stared it it for half an hour.
The Dashinator agreed, it had lost all meaning
funny when ppl are like yoo great video before they even finished watching the video
I don't know what's going on but I think I'm learning.
Those a some good buttons.
when do u use the play button symbol and when do u write it?
Thank you so much ♡
Text in Aseprite sucks pretty bad. I've found the key is Bitmap fonts. If you use a bitmap font in the multiple of what the font was created for it works pretty good.
hey I love your videos I tried pixel art on my side and even tho I kinda stopped your videos are inspirational and really fun to watch.
kiss on the cheek from France
Lol the Terraria SFX on the back
im new on your channel and all ready love it
thank you for sharing knowledge
Great, I love pixel art. I make indie games and love the retro style.
Can you do on how to make pixelart bevels or embossed blocks or smthing?
Everyone can learn something about pixel buttons from this video
I do believe I see some D&D back there.
Great video love this series and definitely helps a lot in my own game making journey
Yoo its the krunker font fff forward!!!
Nice video, I find your tutorials helpful for me to create my own pixel art.
Hey pete, loving the tutorials! Can you do one for glass?
I love you style
Nice one Pete! Always giving great tutorials! Your tutorials have “spasaz”
one day i'll miss him if he stop posting
🔶The work of one benefits the work of others 🔶
Thanks for the video 👍
But, how to import this ui art in unity
what products do you use in your hair, man. i've been growing mine out for half a year now and still don't know what i'm doing
dotaportalvideo looool! Wrong room dude, wrong room 😂😂😂
@@JonathanAdrian no? This guy genuinely has nice hair
You should do animation for guns weapons etc
Thanks for the great tutorials
only 3 out of 4 for the games this time! Another very interesting tutorial, thanks!
I love your tutorials! Keep doing it
Thanks for the vids!
I love your videos! They are not only informative but also fun to watch👍🤗 Can you make a video on top down view houses? They are not exactly my friend LOL
Why mi LibreSprite version don't have FX>Outline :((?
ive gotten so much better from ur vids before i was a noob
What is your canvas size? Btw I love your videos!
6:13 the button have eyebrows
These videos are great and so so helpful thank you :)
wait, how did u resize keeping the outlines like that o_o [5:29]
The magic of video editing.
u keep scaring me with terraria noises
It would be lovely if you could make some more UI Pixel Art Tutorials!
Very helpful. Though I use a different artstyle for my current game, so no shiny edges for me.
Could you perhaps make a pixel art 101 about text boxes or dialog boxes?
It's the same principle, just instead of raised with a bevel, you can have a flat box, or a drop shadow.
How did you do to make the layers section to be on the right side on Aseprite?
click the 3 lines with nobs above the layers to open options for that window.
@@PeterMilko thank you for the response, and keep up with the videos, they are really helpful
I'd love to see a guide on drawing monsters :-)
will do
@@PeterMilko thank You master!
Never thought I would be watching a 30 minutes video about making buttons...
I never thought I'd be spending like 9 hrs making one lol
Nice tips
Your content is helpful, i love it, the way you explain things is great. you ll surely get more subs, although part of me is cryin cause later this wont feel like small pixel family anymore ;_;
Thanks. Maybe u can make video about animations cause its really complex.
Great tutorials! Keep it up
28:35 oh..........
yes make the button thiccer
next faceset ?
