dang, best sponsor animation ever
I'm glad you like it, I worked super hard to make it as interesting as possible, as I know sponsor segments can be LAME!!! :'D
"Roof Roof" 😂Another awesome video! It was great seeing how the tricks and tips came together for the final scene, and the additional reference with Blender modelling looks incredibly useful as well!
Thanks Brandon!!! Yeah this was a big learning process for me, I haven't really done iso stuff before but it was really fun. Blender was a real life saver here, it only took about 10 minutes to set up the scene but helped so much. I'll definitely be using that again in the future. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment
@@saultoons That's great! It seems like a really neat workflow - I could even see it being fun to use for finding different compositions/perspectives to try out for a scene :D

The amount of work you put into these videos bro 🔥🔥🔥
Cheers man, definitely getting that shrimp posture from the desk time 😂 Appreciate you
This man deserves 1 mil subs. The work he put into his vids.. truly amazing, saultoons. Thank you.

I've finally wrapped my head around isometric perspective! It always looks so easy but then it all goes wrong lol. I love your tutorials, thank you so much!
Yesss, I needed this video! Thank you for making these wonderful tutorials.
No worries at all I’m glad they could help :)
Fantastic, please keep making many more of these.
Thanks! I might do more in the future, currently focusing on getting my game finished :D
I was just drawing on Aseprite and I saw the notification on Discord!!
This was just what I was looking for😻 thank you so much for your work❤️

this is the best isometric explanation ive seen yet. godspeed
Thanks Zupra glad you enjoyed it :)
This tutorial has been one of the most useful tutorials i've seen on isometric style art! You were clear and gave excellent examples and techniques! Thank you!
Thanks so much! I'm glad it could help. Isometric is super fun :D
Thank you Saul ^^ You are one of my teacher
Great tutorial and fantastic final piece, I love it!
Thanks a lot Giacomo :D
This lecture format is leagues beyond more useful, productive and informative than a tutorial of a scene or character designing process in iso! Thank you for condensing the major points of iso into such a beautifully concise lesson!
No worries at all Macha, just things I found useful when learning it myself! :) Good luck with your art
Glad you r back 😁
Just takes me a lil while to make videos but I’m always here haha
Dude this video is so cool!! It's super well explained and i lOVE the fact that you add challenges to guide us to learn!! Auto sub
Thanks for the love Pichuela
Well, great video mate.

No problem at all, thanks for the love chocoholic
Thank you, please keep making more tutorials.
Glad you like the videos, will probably make more tutorials and fun videos in the future :)
thank you!! i've been doing isometric drawings for the last couple weeks while learning from scratch, and this is perfect timing to try cilinders into the one i'm making at the moment! i never considered non-boxy shapes in my previous ones, so this is such a game changer for me :)
Ooohhhh yah!!! Good luck with your learning, cylinders can be really tricky so hopefully these tips help out a bit :)
@@saultoons i already drew some collums and a couple creepy laboratory type cylinders, with weird creatures floating in them with your technique! and a little robot haha. your explanation made it very easy! 10/10 content, good luck with the channel!
That’s dope make sure you share with me when you’re done I’d love to see :) Thanks a lot!
this is looks pretty cool !! nice tutorial !!
Thanks :D
I was about to say this video is underrated given the views. It so happens to be just new. Really good job (almost god job).
Thanks GGSHOUT, I appreciate the support
Just what i need
Thanks for the tutorial ❤️
Thanks worries, thanks for watching and leaving a comment, I appreciate you
Best Pixel art youtuber there is, awesome vid man!
Thanks for the love Mack!
Love Shrok ! 😂 Great video as always man !
Thanks so much Skull! 😄 Yeah that was a fun bit to work on haha
Awesome! I'm definitely gonna try some of those challenges later.
Oh yeah, would love to see how you get on!! SCOTLAND
Great video as always
Cheers Voxel :D
I *REALLY* needed this tut, I already went through the struggle to pick a tile style, but you gave me new perspective with shadows and cylindular (is that a word?) isometric pixels, I now have so many ideas I don't have enough time for.
Glad I could help Mr Mysterious!!! Check out the resources in the description too, theyre super helpful for Isometric art :D Cylinder I think haha its a strange word.
cylindrical is the word you were looking for.
@@saultoons
all very well, but I had to lower the speed of the videos to 0.75 😢
Goddamn this was a quick fire of a bunch of basics I was trying to figure out by myself. Thanks for saving me days of work trying to figure out how to create the shapes and creating the cylinders which I was stuck on for a while.
Thanks so much for the kind words, I was in a similar position with Isometric art so glad I could make someone's life a little easier than mine was at the same stage :'D
Excellent
awsome! Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching :D
Much much better video. Clean and straight to the point!

Really helpful tips for me as the beginner. Many thanks!! 💛💛💛
And I love that "roof roof" lmao 😂😂😂😂
Glad I could help Bayu and I'm glad you liked that hahaha thanks for watching :D
Great video mate found it really useful, thanks for taking the time to make this! +1 Sub
Thanks Joe! I'm glad it could be helpful!!! Appreciate you taking the time to comment and dropping a sub :)
Thank you for the tips 👍🔥
Thank you for your time, attention and kind words Zack :D
I got A+ For my home work thank you saul
hahah no worries, glad I could help! :D
Loved this! I'm wanting to do similar isometric tiles on a system constrained to 8x8 square tiles. Concerned that there would be a lot of extra special-case square tiles to complete the effect. I think I'll study some SNES examples like Tactics Ogre to try to understand how they did it.
Yeah not a bad idea to study some previous works! Good luck with it!
I absolutely love how the final piece turned out! Great work as always :D
Thank you Ale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@saultoons ANYTIME, SAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8D
wow great tutorial also somehow you even made the sponsor part interesting to watch!
Glad you liked it OneEgg, I tried to put a lot of work into that because I know most people just skip the sponsor segments anyway :'D
@@saultoons other UA-camrs can learn a thing or two from you
Great…now I got shown your Vids more and more…thank you -.-
Great Lesson, even not only for Pixelart. Forms are helping me a lot :)
Happy to help! Best of luck with your work :D
omg, thank you!!!!!
No problem at all :D
Awesome!
Thanks Tap_zap :D
I really love this guy
He's wholesome funny and a very good teacher
Thanks Turtle, I like turtles :D
@@saultoons :D
the only thing that i hate from this video is you make it look easy dude 😢😢😢, thanks for made this video love it
Haha yeah it definitely takes some practise! Thanks for the love ❤️
Parabéns gosto de toda essas pixel arts você me ajudou muito com animações
Obrigado, fico feliz por ter ajudado, obrigado pelo apoio :)
Omg your ad as amazing! Haha the shrok man 🤣🤣🤣 I died! I usually skip ads. I'm glad I didn't today! That sonic was genius.
Omg that thumb animation at the end 🤣🤣
Thanks cupcakes, I'm glad you liked the ad, I tend to skip them too so thought I'd at least try and make it a bit of fun :'D
One day... maybe ONE DAY, I'll start trying to make something in pixel art ! You really makes me want to finally learn how to do it !
You got this Anawan, keep it up!!! :D
Hi Saultoons! Thanks for the tutortial! Whenever you do an art pixel challenge on discord can you make a video on UA-cam explaining the challenge, because I don't have discord. Cant wait for more tutorials!! :)
I usually post on the UA-cam channel community feed! Keep an eye on that or social media if you want to stay updated 😄
@@saultoons ok Thank you!
welcome back king
haha thank you!
this is some interesting stuff, might try it out sometime
Yah go for it! Would love to see if you do :)
Very interesting!
Thank you!
Most UA-camrs to sponsors: So lucky to work with *sponsor name*
Saultoons sponsors: So lucky to work with Saultoons
Haha yes!!! I gotta work hard for the best community on the UA-cam!!!! :D
helpful video ty
Glad it was helpful!
i love you and your shiny head for givin me triangles
Haha no worries
Bruh. Mind blown
This is thte first video of yours ive watched and i love it! by the way what do you use for this pixel art?
Thanks for watch Ethan you legend!!!!!!!!!! I used Clip Studio Paint for this because you can timelapse easily but you can use whatever you like, I'd recommend aseprite as well, though I've listed a bunch of programs in my Ultimate Pixel Art Tutorial
@@saultoons sorry for the late reply but thanks for the help!
Man your a life saver
Hope it helped!
@@saultoons yes it did
Great video
Thanks for watching Adam
That's so cool
Thanks! I'm working on a longer timelapse of the final piece to hopefully share more of the process :)
Yours videos are amazing. 🇵🇹
Thanks a lot Flavio I’m glad you like them!!!
@@saultoons I've already learned a lot from you :)
Woah, this was a very good video.
Thanks Jay Jay :D
Finally an isometric art vid
YEAH LETS GOOOO!!!
I love ur tutorials man good tutorials
Wow, might be because I'm a noob at game design, but I didn't know all those strategies to create isometric tiles. My dream is to create an RPG isometric game someday, kinda like Final Fantasy (don't remember which one had that style). You've earned my subscription, kind sir.
Thanks, that would be really cool, isometric games look awesome :D I hope it goes well for you
Sweet Blender mockup.
Thanks Java only took 10 minutes would recommend to anyone to learn it!
Neeeat, I love isometric, it's probably my fave kind of pixel art. I honestly wish there was a Sims-like game, but iso pixel art based, it would be awesome.
PS: May I ask where you are from? Love your accent xD
Yeah a little pixel iso city management or something would be amazing! And I’m from North east England haha 😂
@@saultoons Knew it xD thanks so much for your vids, they help a lot and are so entertaining to watch!
Blow my mind... 😳
Glad you like it :D
Thanks! :D
No problemo :D

You're welcome 😊
loved the way you blended nord vpn ad
Thanks Alex, I worked hard on that segment trying to make it more fun than a standard sponsored bit :D
I was trying to do a big wall with a gate the other day and really struggled to get the outline of the door it self and gave up. Maybe I will go back into it now with this pixel shifting thing
YES GUSTAVO YOU GOT THIS!!!! :D
awesome tutorial! what program did you use for the sketch and pixel art?
For this I used Clip Studio Paint I believe, just because it records the process automatically and syncs between my PC and Ipad so I can work wherever. Aseprite is probably the best pixel editor otherwise though I think
YOO! THE PIXEL ART WAS SO COOL!!
What software do you use?
For this I used Clip Studio Paint because I like how it automatically records the process for me :D
@@saultoons Okay Thanks For The Info!
o.o oooh is good my friend :D
Thanks :D
Okay now that i taught you how to hold a paintbrush ill just give you an example of what you can do by making the mona lisa but to get a better idea of the shadows i will first do a rough sculpture of her.
hahahah doesn't everyone use this process? :'D I was trying to inspire, hopefully it wasn't too overwhelming hahaha
Hi, Very cool video!
Which software do you use, if i may ask?
Hi! Thanks :) For this piece I used Clip Studio Paint, but I jump between that and Aseprite :)
wonderful video! can i ask - how can you choose the right canvas size for your pixel artworks? i always struggle with it!
I shared a video on my full process recently, and basically it's always an experimental thing. Try different things out, or reference other pixel art with a style that I like to get an idea of canvas size :)
Lately I'm watching a lot of videos from your channel as I'm really struggling to figure out how to create an interesting color palette. I saw another video where you mention that desaturated colors should look different, and I see that here you build the houseboat first with grays. How do you choose the colors afterwards? Do you have a video where you can learn more about this? Thanks for your content =)
Hi HeyNau, choosing your own colours is a difficult one for sure. I'd recommend learning about colour theory to help with this. You need to learn all about hue, saturation, value, and perceived value. I'd highly recommend James Gurney's book Color and Light for this. I also cover some of the basics in my 'Ultimate Pixel Art Tutorial' video which I'd recommend watching as well.
In terms of working in grayscale value first, and then applying colour. This requires knowledge of value structure, without good values, no colour will fix your artwork because value is how you give your artwork a sense of form and readability - poor values can not be fixed with colour. Some colours have a different value as standard. For example, the most saturated blue will have a much darker value than the most saturated yellow, I show this in my 'Ultimate Pixel Art Tutorial' video :) - In terms of my workflow for value -> colour, I do my value on one layer and then apply colour on a layer with the layer mode set to 'colour' on top, this will apply colour without affecting the values underneath, which is key due to the importance of values as I mentioned before, but as I mentioned you must be aware of the inherent values of certain colours. If you paint a very dark value, and try to apply yellow on top with a colour layer, it will look washed out and muddy because yellows typically have a lighter value range. You can try gradient map technique as well, which I show in my Zombie painting tutorial, but with colours I ALWAYS do a tweak with adjustments such as hue/saturation, levels adjustments, colour balance etc. I never get it right first time, it's always tweaked! - I would recommend starting with Ultimate Pixel Art Tutorial, and then reading James Gurney Colour and Light book.
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask :D
Hi. Great video as always! Just wondering - what software do you use? Thanks!
Yo Scratch, I used Clip Studio Paint for this because it records the process, but I also like Aseprite :D
@@saultoons Ah, thanks! 👍
amazing video why did I spend money on a course teaching me pixle art when I all I needed was this jkjk
I feel so dumb for not starting pixel arts years ago when I was interested, I felt just so afraid I wouldn't match the artists around
Nowadays I just dont compare myself to others and started doing it and I'm having so much fun! Oh god, I love pixels XD
I feel you, I used to struggle a lot with comparing myself to others, these days I try to just go with the flow and do my own thing and focus on what I enjoy! :D Best of luck with your pixel journey :D
Great mathematical tips on how to achieve correct shadows! And I like the 'wee' Scottish flag 😊
Thanks I hope they could help! SCOTLAND!
It's been a while since I last saw you in my sub feed, love your art! 🙂
OH YEAH IM BACK BABY LETS GOOO haha thanks Aarya :D
@@saultoons your welcome :D
Also I was in your discord but I don't know how, but I think my account got hacked I want to rejoin, is it allowed?
Will ask the mods to look into it, drop me a dm on discord with your username on there :D
@@saultoons :D
Can you please do some tutorials about publishing your first app mobile game and all the things u need to know ?
Definitely going to make a video on my experience releasing a mobile game at some point :)
@@saultoons ok,but i hope not in 5 years or more
Hi. I'm from Indonesia. Nice to meet you brother
Hello 👋 Nice to meet you, thanks for watching :D
Which software did you use for this piece and how did you copy and paste all the tiles so fast
Clip studio paint and I am a wizard (or footage is sped up 😅)
Thanks for making me want to procrastinate by wanting to make a pixel-art town building game 😅
Hahaha oh yeah tell me about it I have been thinking the same thing recently haha
What do you think of the final piece? :D Did you complete all the challenges? Make sure you share with me on Discord/socials :}
