Which style is your favourite?!
Huge thank you to Clip Studio Paint for sponsoring the video, make sure you check out the links in the description.
I really appreciate you ALL in the community, for making this possible
I LOVE the metallic one! That might be my favorite.
The big boy ofc.haha
Probably the red and green cartoon one
Thiccccc
Yeah mine too I think!! I see shiny i like, I am easily impressed 😂
Wow I love all the design parameters you used in developing each unique style! The no-outline metallic one looks ready for its own metroidvania-style game where it defends a digital artscape using a series of "art attacks" 😂And the illustrated version can be used in the game manual!
Great tips here btw, and a wonderful presentation as always dude! :D
Thanks Brandon!!! Hahah I love that, the design was actually inspired by Samus so I’m glad that metroidvania vibe comes through, in the original thumbnail designs you can see it actually had a blaster arm that was going to be a pixel blaster. Not sure why I didn’t go with that, maybe I forgot 😂 Yes!!! I used to love looking at game manuals waiting to get home, it was always a bonus if there was some cool art in there. You end up already loving a game before even playing it 😂 Thanks so much! ❤️
@@saultoons Oh yeah look at that - love the pixel blaster haha! Very cool how that was part of the inspiration; and beyond that the 'art theme' is such an intriguing idea for a character/world with that styling :D
@@BJGpixel Yeah you could go even further with it, maybe a 1-bit world , when you slay the demons or whatever it introduces colour into the area. You could use it to teach art concepts in a subtle way... Like injecting people with art knowledge without them knowing :'D
@@saultoons Ah wow that's such an awesome idea; it's like extrapolating your parameters of these different character styles into an entire evolving game world - would love to see you explore that concept further! ;D
Haha who knows what the future will bring?! 😂
For a person who didn't buy any good pixel art software but bought Clip Studio, This is a life changer, thank you Saultoons! Always keep these videos coming!
Glad it could help! You can do a lot in Clip Studio so it should serve you well 😄
The greyish metal looking one with no outline was my favourite. Smash it again! Keep it up buddy.
Oh yeah!!!! Shiny metal robo is my favourite too 🙂 thanks Lorry!!!
Honestly, my favorite has to be the CHONKEY one. I'm normally not one for (lack of a better term) fat robots, I just don't find a point to making a humanoid machine fat, but there is something about him that makes him stand out more than his girth.
I see that particular robot being some kind of guardian for an endangered princess, but not one that's super weak or anything, one that fights beside him. He takes on the big, tougher machines while she handles all the smaller ones. If there are tiny ones trying to climb all over him, she's got him covered with magic, or hacking tools, or a beam weapon of sorts. And if there's a massive one trying to claw over the guardian to get to her, he's never letting that claw near her. They compliment each other and nothing can stop them. Oh, and those aren't wings on his back, in my mind, it's a giant shield with THICC armor and barrier technology.
This is a great analysis and interesting viewpoint! I also imagine them super huge like a gundam or something, and in the chonkey one there are room compartments for the pilot, but engineers and control systems on board like a submarine or something 😂 Either way coming up with ideas for characters is always a super fun part of the process and it was interesting to hear your take on this! Thanks Sigil Wizard it’s always a pleasure
I really loved how you did the robot style change animations at the end
Thanks Jack that was a really fun part coming up with all the little transitions :D Appreciate you leaving a comment 😍
@@saultoons you're welcome and keep it up
This is not only super cool, but very useful too, I've been using csp for quite a while and I didn't really stopped to learn it's features.
I love how you for every single thing you did, you explained how we can do it too.
Probably one of the most complete videos I've ever seen.
Thanks Acqua, there's so many more little things about CSP that I still don't know and I didn't show off either. I'm glad you found the video useful :D
I'm always a fan of the no outline style. It tends to look grittier and less cartoony.
Yeah I usually go for cartoony style, but I'm leaning into the grittier look more and more :D That one is definitely my favourite here, thanks for leaving your comment Robert :D
My favourite is the third one, I think that even with its simplicity encapsulates well the essence of the character, it demonstrates us that you can do something cool with just the usage of two colours.
Yeah I love really strict limits like that. You can do a lot with just light and shadow!!! Thanks for leaving your thoughts Dekross 😍
Videos that go direct and straigh to the point.. fast cuts.. very easy to watch long videos.. thank you for the so well made video !!
First, props. The characters looked effing *amazing* !!!
Second, even as just a general beginner’s pixel art tutorial this was really useful, f.ex. the silhouette style and working just with values were a couple techniques I’d never learnt 😅 Thanks so much for the video!
Aldo, first, thanks so much for the love I’m glad you like the characters.
Second, yeah there are a BUNCH of techniques and even more we can look at in the future :D I’m glad the video could help
Third, thanks so much for leaving your thoughts in a comment, I appreciate you!!!!!
@@saultoons You’re very welcome 😄 Keep the awesome vids coming
Wish I could like a video twice, awesome work!
Thanks so much Thomas! ❤️ I appreciate your support a lot
I really like your efficiency. So much info packed into every part.
Oh and it's fun to watch too!
Thanks I try to keep it as concise as possible otherwise I’d just be rambling on and ain’t nobody got time for that 🤣 thanks for the support
Styyl 3 is the syle for me, the white and black attak the eyes with a pleasant surprise. Super great video, it was a two in one tutorial!
Yeah I like that style it shows a lot with so little. Thanks Toast glad to see you about still 😍 hope you’re doing well
Goddamn, this video is like the holy grail of pixel and tools tutorials. Very brief and informative! sure learned a lot about how those functions in clip studio are meant to be used.
Thanks for the love Photon Werewolf, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :D
omygodddd the animation chsjsj its so amazing bestie !!!!!!!! each style is unique and cute but i really love the 4th and 5th one hdjsja this is so cool

THIS IS AWESOMEEEEEE. I mostly use CSP so this is really informative, Just started learning pixel art . Your channel is the best!
I love CSP it's great, thanks for the kind words friend :D
Really inspirational ❤
Glad you enjoyed!
YEAAH!! U R better!! Awesome video and tips. Thx a lot. Hugs from Brazil.
WOOHOO!! Thanks for the support Seth
Holy crow the amount of work . Kudos man !

@@saultoons thx mann
@@saultoons hey man I'm thinking of doing ytube with traditional art so any tips for rookies
Aatrox lives within us all, very cool art!
I'm only recently getting into pixel art and your videos are extremely helpful! Wish me luck for the future
You got this! Best of luck :D
@@saultoons thank you ! I'll try my best
Awesome work.
Thank you so much 😀
Nice work bro! ✨
Thanks Pixel Hunter :D
Thanks for this video, I like how dynamic it is. I'm a fan of your content! greetings from Santiago ❣
Thanks a lot Ismael :D
Really liked this.
Thanks Dan, appreciate you leaving a comment
This is So Cool !!!!
You’re so cool!!!!!!!
I love the animation at the end! :D
Thanks eboatwright! That was a lot of fun to make 😄
@@saultoons :D
This is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. 👉💗😖💗👈
hahah thanks!
what I like the most is a simpler 16 px black silhouette...congratulations for the video as it always looks fantastic
Thanks Rodrigo, sometimes simple is best :D
Brilliant video! Style is such a tricky thing to land on. Definitely good practice to try multiple styles on one sprite to see what feels like a good fit. Love your artwork!
Thanks so much! Yeah it definitely is. There are so many ways you can change something to get a different style too, so you can get some decision paralysis if you aren’t specific. Super fun process though exploration is always one of my favourite parts of design :D thanks for leaving your thoughts :)
@@saultoons You're welcome! Awesome content!
Such a prestigious sponsor! And a wonderful video! I love drawing characters in different styles, but it's been a while. I think I may have to do this! :D
Yeah I was in shock 🤣 thanks so much. You would kill this challenge Aleiocus!!!! Like every challenge…
@@saultoons Flatterer :p Just for you I'll even stream the process
And then make a video and then take over the world it’s a simple process. You can find it in my 3 step villain world domination process
@@saultoons Oooo, fantastic! I shall follow Saultoon's Guide to Total Domination to the letter.
Hey! Love the vid!
Hey Teleporter Gaming!!! Thank you :D
That was so beautiful bru
Thanks
Awesome video! I'm getting into pixel art more and your videos have helped a lot. If possible, I'd really like a video on idle/attack animations in the future :)
Glad you find the videos helpful Elliot!! We’ll definitely be jumping into more animation in the future, lots of plans ahead… Thanks for the support 😍
Congratulations on ~30k! :D I remember when you were at like 1-2k. :) Also, I really love your pixel art style. :D
Yes I remember too I’m so grateful people choose to watch! Thanks for the kind words
@@saultoons :)
I MISSED U SO MUCH MAN!!! been looking forward for a new video ;___; hope ure fully recovered now !!!
IM BACK LETS GOOOOO!! Doing much better now thanks for asking. More videos on the way ☺️
Very cool
Thanks so much :D
If you zoom in close enough, there are some pixels there, so it counts! XD Another great vid mate!
Hahaha is this pixel art? It always was 😎 thanks man! 🤣
My favorite baldy
Hahah thanks for the love!
Our bald guy back with the SUPER-TIPS! :D
I liked all the styles! Kinda reminded me of good old Fire Emblem!
Oh yeh MOKU MOKU!!!!! Thanks for the love and support 🥰
Love them all but when you make the last one I really love it. It makes me wonder about my pixel art enjoinment at all !! WizzuSan Here !
WizzuSan let’s goooo!!! Hope you’re doing well. Haha there are no limits in art you can do any styles in any medium at any time!!!! No restrictions create what you love ❤️
Ngl this video makes me want clip studio
Haha like I said, I’ve been using it for a long time it’s a great option for all types of art. And that timelapse feature really been saving me some time with these videos 🤣
ayyyyyy not raid shadow legends but it does the job, congrats also thanks, I really like using the cartoon style and the no outline style
hahaha maybe some day! Thanks :D I like the cartoon and no outline is my favourite hehe
Style 7 just seems like it's really unique compared to the others, and not just because of the the difference in size
Yeah, messing with proportions can really change the vibe up!
WOW I can't believe I didn't know about the Sub View :O thank you so muchhh
Yeah it's super useful eh! :D No worries, best of luck with your art
Yoo let's gooooo........
HYPEEEEEEE SMIT!!!!
Amazing video ❤️
Hope you are fine 👍
Yoda, fine I am. Well I hope you are. 🤣 thanks for the love ❤️
9:00 SATISFACTION ✨
haha that's my favourite part too :D
@@saultoons Thank you for guiding us!!🖤
I like the big boi
Thanks
I really liked the last character with the smooth lines... did you use the Clip Studio Paint board to do the tracing over an image you had on your computer screen? I have a few drawing art apps on my windows laptop but I find it very hard to draw with a mouse... as you can see Im new to this kind of art... but i want to create art like you did creating the last character with clean lines and the glowing heart... that is so cool. This was another awesome video... thanks so much for your help sir...
I use a drawing tablet for the 2D version, you really don’t need an expensive one at all. It helps a lot when drawing the lines to get some control, especially with stabilisation on :) Clip studio has vector lines so you can still draw with a mouse and edit the lines afterwards too. But would definitely recommend getting an entry level drawing tablet if that’s your goal :D yes this was all made in Clip studio :)
@@saultoons I can't thank you enough... Your videos prove you are a great / fun creative person.. I really enjoy them. Yes, I'm looking on Amazon right now looking at drawing tablets. If you don't mind me asking, what drawing tablet do you use with the Clip Studio Paint? I am looking at the; Huion Kamvas 13 or the Gaomon PD1161 or the XPen Artist 12. Are you familiar with any of these? My goal is to use the Clip Studio Paint and one of these tablets to start creating my own NFT's. I have experience working with layered images in a really old Paint Shop Pro 7 version, its like 15 years old, ...lol and I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, and then a couple of other software package like Aseprite and Pyxel Edit. Anyway, Im going to purchase the Clip Studio Paint so I can reference your videos to help me in my work. When I create my first couple series of NFT's I will send you a new release from each series, that is if you collect NFT's and have a crypto address I can send them to. This will take me some time. I plan to start this weekend and release by the end of next month so we will see. Like I mentioned I want to create images like the last drawing you did.. that one is awesome... I really like the others too but mostly the last one. I Hope my excitement isn't misplaced here... I'm a late middle aged guy lol, my girlfriend thinks I'm nuts lol, but I want to do this to fill my spare time. I look forward to your response about what drawing tablet you use. Thank you for sharing your talent sir. It is much appreciated.
Tough to pick one
I know what you mean!
Hello from spain
Hola from England :D
how does this only have 30k views
UA-cam Algorithm Gods are in control :'D Though 30K is a lot to me hehe, I appreciate everyone who has watched
Hey Saultoons , can you please make a video on Eastward pixel art . Because i really love the lighting of eastward .
Not a bad idea Yoda, might be fun to jump into some game art at some point :)
@@saultoons thanks brother ❤️
you deserve 100k subs at least
haha thanks Shredda we'll get there!!!
do you do commisions for game assets and sprite animation sheets
Oh yeh
I have a question, maybe it was said in the video and I missed it, but I for whatever reason cannot draw on such a tiny canvas just yet, can you scale the canvas up? Any draw backs in doing so? I really want to make food and character icons that are very detailed like my typical digital art, but pixel art is alluding me haha.
It depends how large you go really, the beauty of pixel art is it's not always about explicitly showing the detail but hinting at it with a careful arrangement of pixels, especially at the smaller sizes. That doesn't mean you can't make larger pixel art canvases and show all the detail you want, but at a point it becomes closer to digital art and you lose control over the individual pixels. No right or wrong, just do what you feel comfortable with, try increasing canvas size if it's not working out for you, but sometimes it can help to force the small limits on yourself as well. I'd recommend checking out my Ultimate Pixel Art tutorial for more pointers, and the 'Drawing Pixel Art Every Day' video to see what I mean about the impact of individual pixels :) Best of luck! :D
i would just need a character idea
XD
Check out my concept art tutorial, it helps generate ideas :D
i cant stop looking at chonky boy
It so chonk
I love CSP for drawing and painting and I use it for hours every day. Unfortunately I find it next to useless for pixel art because the brush engine doesn't make pixel perfect marks. Take a round brush with a small size and make a few clicks and you'll find it doesn't create perfect circles and every mark is inconsistent from the other. Making line art with a one pixel brush is also a pain because it creates a lot of overlapping pixels and doesn't connect with the corners like it does in virtually every other software.
Yeah I noticed this when I was using it also, it didn't bother me so much but this could definitely be improved for faster workflows! :) Thanks for sharing your experience!
love ya vids ;-; i wanna draw like you ps. ur me idol
Thanks for the love!!! You got this keep practising ☺️
@@saultoons :D
The issue is how are we gonna animate those art style in game, tiny art style is easy to animate because modifying them is easy ,but your art style will make games awesome .
If I make sprite fighter animation in Clip Studio Paint to put in Unreal Engine like Blazblue Fighting Game.
You can do it!!!!
Sir, may i know what Mic you use ???? :"D
Mxl990 with a Line6 UX2 audio interface :) it’s pretty dated now
@@saultoons Okay thank you Sir, its pretty dated but still sounds good tho *to me*
Hey Saul,
When I try to animate the pixel art in CSP, it becomes really blurry. How can I fix that issue? Thanks!
Change the image resolution to 72dpi without changing canvas size :) should solve your issue
@@saultoons *chants* MVP! MVP! MVP!
2 more quickies; first, I was smart enough to delete the dot pen before seeing your tutorial and how amazing pixel art can be on CSP (I just used dedicated software), any chance you know how to bring it back?
Second, I was thinking about how to import or use color palettes with CSP, is there a way to limit it/ load in palettes like with Aseprite?
Thanks a bazillion Saul, you da man, man!
To restore a brush, it seems you can click the little burger menu above the brush thing and click add additional sub tools. There are a couple of different solutions too if that doesn’t work a quick Google will sort you out :D
For colour palettes just use the colour set window, you can import images and assign each colour manually and save it as a new preset or I’m sure there’ll be a way to import directly to the colour set but I haven’t messed around with it. Just see what you can do with it, there’s a lot to discover with CSP it has a lot of functionality and tools :)
Hello Saultoons, i have a question that does not relate to the topic of pixel art. Your microphone - is it the MXL 990? And what audio interface do you use?
Yes, an MXL990 and UX2 Line 6 audio interface. I've had them about 10 years now :o
@@saultoons Thank you for answer!
so i should stay in aseprite or go clip studio?
Ultimately it's up to you, Aseprite is more specific pixel art, Clip Studio is more general art :)
@@saultoons thank you
Hey , Is Septembit happening , Right?
OH YEAH! Septembit announcement coming on the 30th!
when will u upload again, missed my animation teacher
Prolly next week :)
it's so hard to do well :/ Finding out the hard way.
It just takes time! Try to enjoy the process. I’ve been doing art for a long time and sometimes it’s still difficult for me :D
@@saultoons it feels easier for me to model the figure in 3d, rig it, render it, shrink it to 32px than to paint it right now... which is exactly what I ended up doing last night. I tried to paint a run cycle... today I think I'll have to keyframe that.
i just realized this vid is already a month old, mister saultoons what is ur next vid i wonder 👩🍼🤰
Whenever it’s ready
The fat one cos it looks like me
hahahaha
A R T
OH YEAH!!!!
Fuck clip studio, all my homies use MS Paint 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥵🥵🥵🥵
Hahaha oh no! It’s time to upgrade to clip studio #sponsored 🤣 I can finally do sponsor hashtag legit 🤣🤣🤣
growing up so fast :), raid shodow legends is next, u can design a character
