“How do you start Pixel Art?”…Here’s what I did!

[@i.am.adrian]

You have a true talent, not just as a pixel artist, but as a very clear and concise educator! I always enjoy how simple and easy to follow your explanations are. Color theory, perspective, design, you have an knack making those complex topics so accessible. Thanks for this one!

[@Xiimo_]

[@djjacoby1511]

[@kappy2151]

I could not have said it any better. Ditto!

[@yummycakexian3146]

Yes! Thank you Brandon. Looking forward for more educating videos!!!

[@onlysmiles4949]

It's actually kind of interesting that you use Megaman as an example because there's kind of another hidden lesson out of using Megaman as a direct sprite reference, and it's that a lot of characters in Megaman don't actually have the same silhouette as Megaman. Like, knowing *how* Megaman's style works will go much farther than just blindly copying over his sprite

[@thekilla1234]

These sprite transformations really remind me of the front sprite updates through Pokemon gen 1 (Red/Green -> Red/Blue -> Yellow) They were all from essentially the same game but each iteration added so much more character to the sprites.

[@Retrofire-47]

honestly, i have been struggling to get into visual art in general for literally years now, and I think this is partly because I had no frame of reference for what my foundation was... I think I realize now that I really need* structure to the act before I can start progressing. i want that foundation to be visualizing the subject [and each of its faces] in my head... which is hard. it took me literally years to finally break into programming [started reading Mozilla's js documentation] so i think you just need to be persistent and keep practicing as much as possible everyday. it just scares me how little progress i've made on the art front

[@chocochan2537]

THIS!!! THIS IS IT!!! I watched a bunch of others pixel arts already, and just felt it's not right for me and not enough information for me to practice. But this make it know where to start and want to practice and try it out after watching.

[@mihousenpai]

I love your channel so much !! You did an amazing job explaining all your creation and process (clear voice, easy step by step guide, and a feeling of a safe rookie space. Kinda hard to explain that last one but it feel like you happy to share without judging by the level of other artist, if that make any sense 😅)

[@ex0ja]

I have no plans to create any pixel art, this came up randomly in my feed. I still watched it and enjoyed it.

[@AluminiumPanda6]

I'd absolutely play an 8-bit version of any of these games! Those sprites have so much character, thanks for showing the process!

[@comradecid]

having made a (sometimes agonisingly) large amount of sprite pixel art, kudos for working through the entire process in a very granular way, and also for noting that one needs to embrace limitations.... one of the most daunting things i've experienced is the question "what do i do? how do i decide what to do next?". especially whilst facing the potentially unlimited options presented by digital art, setting and adhering to an arbitrary set of rules (outlines? scale? palette? etc.) is surprisingly liberating. once in place, the actual process of drawing is surprisingly fun, rapid, and rewarding.

[@CorruptionKin]

Fun fact that beige you used for the limited colour sprites is almost the exact colour used for gameboy colour sprites

[@spindash64]

It's impressive just how quickly one can improve in art by simply trying. I think what ive enjoyed most with pixel art is that having "fixed" locations means my perfectionism can't pick a fight with my hand-eye coordination: instead, i can just kind of "paint" my way in, then remove pixels just as easily, with perfect accuracy

[@Nightfire613]

I remember when I first started doing Pixel Art, my "Mega-man" was Link, mostly from Link's Awakening, but also taking some liberties and incorporating elements from A Link to the Past and OG Zelda. I also drew a lot from Pokémon when starting out when it came to creature designs. I did NOT restrict my color counts, or stick to any sort of pallette, and I really wish I had now that look back on my old work. Seeing you do these Street Fighter characters makes me want to go back and polish up some of my old sprites (including a couple of street fighter ones I did way back in the beginning.)

[@turmadogalego7963]

there's something utterly captivating about gorillas that just makes my heart swell with admiration! These incredible creatures, with their sturdy limbs and soulful eyes, are nothing short of awe-inspiring. I mean, have you ever seen the sheer power and majesty of a silverback leading its troop through the dense jungle? It's like poetry in motion, a symphony of strength and grace. And don't even get me started on their intelligence - gorillas are some of the smartest beings out there! The intricate social dynamics within their groups, the way they communicate, it's like witnessing a sophisticated society right in the heart of the wild. Every time I delve into the world of gorillas, I can't help but feel this overwhelming sense of connection and appreciation for these magnificent beings. The world needs more gorilla enthusiasts, don't you think?

[@vvuukk4]

????????

[@ShinoSarna]

I learned pixel art in a similar way, not by doing Mega Man edits, but by doing edits of units in the free open source game Battle for Wesnoth.

[@Err_InvalidName]

I started pixel art by recoloring the sprites of the Pokemon from Crystal. And using a limited amount of rules. Like no altering the Pokémon’s look, adding any missing detail to each pokemon as it is now. Using the specific amount of pixels of each Pokemon. And looking up the correct colors of each pokemon using the eye drop tool in PS. I did finish all 251. And I eventually made it a poster and then moved to the trainers. Which I recolored as how they look in HGSS as it’s the remake.

[@GenerationGamez]

This was an absolutely fantastic video. I’m not sure if you are already, but you should really contemplate creating a course for beginners. You come across as very knowledgeable and have a very informative and concise style when it comes to the way you convey what you are trying to teach. If you already have a course I would love to know as I am looking to learn pixel art myself

[@Crow_Rising]

Something else to keep in mind is the kind of screen you intend your pixel art to be viewed on, and how large it will be on said screen. Old CRT monitors had an entirely different way of displaying visual information, and because of these differences details would tend to blend into each other. The general overall quality on these old screens was lower, but this could be taken advantage of to create details that otherwise wouldn't exist, such as placing two colors next to each other in a dither pattern to cause them to blend together in a way that gives the impression of an extra in-between shade of color. Doing this, you could give sprites more detail on the low quality screens of the era that doesn't translate to the sharper, high quality and resolution screens of today. However, you can indeed reproduce these same effects on a modern screen. You simply need to bake the detail into the sprite itself instead of relying on the screen to fill it in for you, though this will often require including more colors than old hardware would be able to use so you should avoid this if you're trying to replicate genuine retro styles. Something much harder to do is to smooth the lines out since the sharpness of the pixels in sprites is very apparent on modern monitors. However, this is often something that sprite artists actually want to be the case, as there's an appeal to being able to see the individual pixels. If you don't want this for whatever reason though, the best solution is to make the sprite bigger with more details so that the individual pixels are smaller and therefore less apparent.

[@akiraishin7141]

Always appreciate a good fundamentals tutorial

[@biggestalienhominidfan2787]

Mega Man is my favorite game franchise (Alien Hominid is a game) and the nes era artstyle as a lot of appeal to it, however, this appeal makes it easy to a lot of people not even familiar with mega man to while with good intentions, make the same mistake PowerPuff girl "styled" characters do. I already seen comparisons between both before but seeing the thumbnail and title of this video came like a light from the sky from me who, even if I want mostly focuse in 32 bit fighting game sprite work, wants to learn pixel art. This is just what I needed and you encouraged me a lot, bravo.

[@mr_catfry]

This was literally me when I started! I remember going through some of the similar moments in my pixelart career so far

[@CushionSapp]

Could you maybe do a follow-up video about how to start pixel animation?

[@delaceylehane7758]

Come a long way since that Hulk sprite.

[@GoneWithTheCloud]

Excellent study material 😊

[@Humbird00]

I think I started off by editing characters from Chrono Trigger and Illusion of Gaia for my RPG Maker projects. Mostly to add new poses and animations. It started off very derivative too. But eventually I grew more ambitious with completely new poses drawn from scratch. I would generally use a large circle to place the head, then create a silhouette using a few flat colors, then draw an outline over the shapes, fill it, and add anti-aliasing. I think we all start off editing our favorite things. My favorite games were Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid, so I developed a style around 3-head proportions like Chrono Trigger, and anti-aliasing like Super Metroid.

[@AyoubJezine1990]

this video really hit me hard. I started doing pixel art more than 16 years ago on MS Paint doing edits, recolors and even tried to post some on my Deviantart, but I got hit by harsh critics and had issues learning how to use photoshop or other programs. Seeing this showed me that if I didn't give up at the time, I could've evolved a lot and maybe even learn about you way before in the past. I think I'll try to give another chance on Pixel art one day, even if I have to return to the basics.... Thanks man, never give up on your dreams, you are an inspiration to a lot of people out there.

[@JovemEverton]

How do you always get these Sprites from the different games? :0 Is there a website you can download them? :o

[@Ashurion-Neonix]

One of the best places for that is the spriter's resource which has a huge selection of retro sprites.

[@geburu]

This was such a good video and intro to pixel art. How important is it to have a good art foundation or drawing ability to do pixel art? I’m a huge fan of 8 and 16 bit games as I grew up playing them. When Hyper Light Drifter came out, I was blown away by what was now possible.

[@jaybee4288]

You need art skill to do pixel art. Most people who do it can draw. You don’t need the coordination that comes with drawing though so if you know what to draw and just struggle with motor skills then you will be fine. But if you don’t know how to go about drawing say the leg of a horse from a shape or color perspective then pixel art won’t make you magically able to do that if it makes sense. You need the eye.

[@derek-64]

While i like pixels i've never been of the term pixel art. I just found the usage of it rather annoying. Still, it shows that there's so much potential with pixels beyond the 8, 16, or even 32-bit styles people are accustomed to. Depending on people's skills and the hardware they're working with there's a lot of potential to make some amazing looking games with pixels if they pushed the boundaries of what this style is capable of.

Thanks Brandon! I teach character design at university and always manage to fit in a class or two on making pixel art. But it's always a struggle how to convey something practical in only 2 or 3 hours. This exercise is PERFECT. I'll be using it for sure. You make extremely educational content. Thank you again!

And in Spain "didáctico" just means good for learning, without any negative connotation. Thank you for pointing this out to me because it seems like a mistake I could easily make in the future. Cheers!

[@CKTDanny]

The idea that a single pixel can completely alter the interpretation of a low-rez sprite and how you can view these as permutations has always been what's drawn me to this medium as a way to learn more about art. Your channel has taught me so much about colour theory and composition; I think it's incredible that you can do that with a handful of pixels! That was a really nice breakdown of the essence of pixel art, fitting for this square guy's origin story ⏹️🐵

[@BJGpixel]

Hahaha the origin story; I'm just a simple man trying to pixel my way through the universe 😌 And yeah the low-res permutations thing is really the most fun, it's kinda like drawing but also puzzle-solving, so on top of being artistic it's also a satisfying exercise in the way that sudoku or tetris may be :D

[@mattreichmann8118]

I tried doing the same, I think it's the animal one called septembit you're referring to. Making animals from scratch from the getgo was hell. I'm completely new to visual art as a whole, and making something with just 2 colours in such a small frame without any experience to reference it to is super hard.

[@BinglesP]

As a Mega Man fan and artist(primarily traditional and digital outside of pixel art but I work with pixels too), I find it actually kind of funny in hindsight that the Mega Man NES sprite is basically THE pixel art base. Especially since Mega Man sprites in general(from the actual games, for the whole cast) are actually more diverse than the edits since Rock is tiny even compared to other characters in that original style. Even small, more-humanoid Robot Masters, like Heat Man, don't look like him. It's like the gamer "so retro!!!" equivalent to how, for over a decade on the internet, the whole 'Powerpuff Girls art style' in style mimic art was just turning a character into one of the Powerpuffs/Rowdyruffs, since otherwise that show just uses the exact same art style as Dexter's Laboratory with some alternate adjustments and motifs.

[@DanielDOleo]

The second iteration of Guile give me vibes of the River City Ransom on NES models, so much charm and personality on those. 😊

[@PixelPapiOfficial]

The retro style of 8bit to me SCREAMS video games. Its so enjoyable to put together, I work on sprites that are 8x8 and every pixel and shade it important. Im no professional or anything but i think theyre coming out pretty good on my channel. Im keeping it top-down to stay consistent, the perspective takes a little to wrap your head around lol

[@TCC180]

between playing the megaman games as a kid, and reading a lot of sprite comics growing up, I've always been fascinated by pixel art. I haven't done any pixel art in years, but I always enjoy your content. I also started with the good ol' megaman edits, though I actually started with MM7 sprites before switching to the smaller ones. I did a whole TF2 pixel art spray pack back when that was a thing, and one of my sprites was featured in a brentalfloss video (though it was without my permision, and it wasn't even a very good sprite for that matter....)

[@djjacoby1511]

Great video!! I love pixel art because I grew up playing Atari, Sega genesis, and Nes, so seeing how the style is still alive and interesting after all the updates the gaming world has made, it truly is a awesome genre that keeps delivering!!

[@cappachino20]

Hi hello. I recently fell into a hyper-fixation surrounding pixel art and you are by far the best person I've seen covering the topic. And it stems from the fact that you don't exactly give tutorials (which for me are a one way ticket to not retaining anything). This exact video is a prime example. I watched it once, thought about the general idea and not the steps, decided I can do that and came back only to see how you set it up. And BAM in less than an hour I was able to make megaman sprites of Deku and Bakugo from my hero academia! I feel absolutely ecstatic. I've never done pixel art, but this singlehandedly has lit a fire that (hopefully) won't go out soon. Thank you!

I tripped over this video after I'd already started doing this a week or two ago. I'm currently working on a "base model" sprite, just some simple colors and shading to give a vague idea to use as a starting point or stand-in for something else as I work on my game.

When I transferred into another college for game development a couple of years ago, I had virtually no experience with game development whatsoever. I couldn't program and I could barely do art. The only thing I had going for me were fundamentals gathered from doing cinematography, which surprisingly helped since at least I knew how to stage and animate. I started with pixel art since for many, me included, it seemed like the easiest place to start, and ultimately lead me to this channel. Honestly, these videos helped me a lot, since I could see the workflow and gather fundamentals for structuring pixel art, and frankly drawing on a fixed brush size and canvas made it really easy to fix details and not worry about consistency (since it was always consistent), and it's great seeing how clean my art came along compared with my other classmates. It's really something when I could examine and understand someone else's work and comfortably think to myself "yeah, I could make something like that" and actually be able to put money where my mouth was. I hadn't been so passionate about art and animation in a long time, and although I've since used pixel art way less and moved on to 3d art and animation, I still come back to watch these videos and learn something new.
