Really good video. I want to get into this flat 2d art more and I can take away a lot from this but at the same time agree with the things said as somebody who is confident to say that they know a little about art. Looking at what other people do and being confident about your own stuff is important. It's the moment you realize nobody knows what they are doing when you know that you can take on whatever you want. It's the same with making idols. These idols will keep you down. You focus so much on them that you forget who you are and what you do and you don't want that. So don't make idols and go and do what you want. What you do is probably already better than what 90% of the others are doing.

Thanks for pointing out how important color is! I totally agree that it is a great idea to use a premade color palette. I've seen sooooo many pieces of art that could look amazing, but just use really bad colors, and don't hue shift at all. Color palettes are a great way to hop into pixel art and just get to creating stuff without worrying about learning color theory and all that stuff, and palettes can even make you work more creatively if you only have a preset amount of colors to use. I also totally agree that you shouldn't belittle yourself, I've also seen this way too many times to count with beginner artists. If I had to give one more essential tip, it is, that for game development, please keep pixel size consistent! This kind of goes along with your tip number two, but besides having bad colors, this is the second most common pixel art mishap I see. People sometimes get lazy, and if a house they drew is too small for their game, they might just scale it up in their game engine. Please don't do this! Spend the time to hop back into your pixel art program and make a house that looks right, while maintaining the same pixels per unit as all the other objects in your game. It makes a massive difference, and keeping pixels size consistent will make your game look so much better, at least in my opinion. And take that from someone who used to scale up pixel art all the time.

Completely agree with the size consistency thing. I think it's nice to think of each sprite you make in terms of tiles. If you decide from example that a tile is 32x32 pixels then you can know that your character might be one tile and a tree might be 5x5 tiles so 160x160 pixels. Then the sprites are more likely to look like them belong in the same space.

The funny thing is, I feel like I'm way better at tilesets than I am at characters. I mostly got into tilesets because I was very inspired by Terraria and Celeste, and I dug into their game files to find the graphics for all of the tiles just to admire them basically. In my experience, redrawing tilesets from other places (in my case mostly Terraria) can actually help a lot, and using them in different ways can also help because it lets you see how they all connect together. This video was very helpful, thanks man!

One tip was missing "Colours" colors show emotions and emphasises the look of game like a serious game will not use super saturated colors as they are cartoonish a bit and we use a less hue shift for them also less saturation and in sorrow moments the saturation is decreased even more these things expresses the story and game too well.

Excellent video! I agree 100% with everything you said. I've been doing pixel art for more than a year and I think the most important thing is to know that you can always get better at it. It may be the colors, the details, the characters, but there's always something you can improve on, so in my opinion, the best way to get better is by watching games or artist that you like and writing what they do that make their (pixel) art unique. And also, as you said, try new concepts, things and ideas. This art style is like any other art form, you will always be learning new stuff and that's what makes it fun. Keep up the good content!

Tip: Find the right sized grid for you Some people may want to create genuinely good pixel art but don’t know where to start. Brandon James Greer is another great pixel artist and has a whole video talking about it. For beginners, I recommend a size of 16 x 16. It’s the best grid to start making pixel art. Many old games use it, and it works really well. Others may do around 40 x 40. It’s a more advanced grid to work with, but it gives a lot more freedom for detail.

This was very motivating and enjoyable to listen to while my brother and I are learning pixel art. We want to create a HUGE open world RPG pixel art game. 1) because we love pixel art style and 2) because if done right, it can be beautiful. I've seen games that use the most basic colors and minimal shading, BUT the art just worked very well! Plus, the features really made the game even cooler! I really wanted to learn 3D, and maybe some day I will return to it. But this is something I feel I'm learning a lot quicker than 3D modeling. Also, I can see where learning pixel art will help you advance later on as you really are having to learn the basic fundamentals of art itself. Goodgis is absolutely right. Practice is the key, and don't belittle yourself! We went from drawing these trees that looked like a 3 year old did to now making, in my opinion, better trees than we thought we ever would. We are growing on it every day. Also, a tip for you new upcoming game devs out there who are just starting out. Use those first-time drawings as placeholders in your game engine! We took our crappy tree and placed it into our game engine. We kept swapping things out as we progressed in learning, and it's like watching a kid grow up! We have screenshots from day 1 of the game world to now. Every day is a learning day! Edit: Goodgis, you have yourself a new subscriber

Hey! Just found your channel, I have been doing art for many years, art is my everything. Over many years I have learned techniques and the rules of art without guidance. The same has happened with pixel art, I have been doing pixel art for a year now and because I am already an artist, learning pixel art and the rules behind it came to me fast without guidance. Sprites and tile sets are my A-game. I am working on a project call NSMW (New Super Mario World) it is a 2D Mario platformer. It plays like the 3D Mario platformers but in 2D. Its art style is like an upgraded Super Mario World style. I have been working on it for half a year now. I lack skill in coding but I do know the basics, that's not my worry now though, the coding comes later. I have planned most of the game already and have made multiple assets for it, there's just one thing I'm struggling with, I can't figure out backgrounds. When I struggle with sprites or tile sets, there is always a guide. But I can't quite figure out backgrounds. I need help on making Super Mario World backgrounds but with more detail and less restrictions. I want my backgrounds to appear as if they have multiple layers and have animated assets, these backgrounds would loop every two screen scrolls. Please help me, it looks like you have the secrets and a background guide video would be great or even just a good suggestion. Sorry for the long essay in your comments :)

Hey, i know this reply is old, but how did you make ok over the year? There are a lot of challenges to making a game. Being self focused and committed to an idea for 1-2 yrs is a big one for most. But ya you need a skill sets in all areas. For me, art is the hard part. Sound, music are not too bad as its easy to buy that stuff as they come in large packs. Art though is specific and very themed to the game. Programing is also tricky and is the meat of video games really. Game design is also under rated and takes a lot of time an experience to get right. Set goals and start with small projects that can be finished from A-Z is what is usually recommend. Also, its good to copy some ideas from games, but be mindful that you cant sell a mario game if its eh, mario. But ya your own cute platformer, world cant seem to get enough. Recommend coming up with some mechanic that makes your spin on it different though. good luck

@@AngryhammerGames cool to see this reply. After playing Celeste, I switched the NSMW project to be its own identity, new characters, themes, story plot, and main character. I called the game “Super Lost” and made a story for it and plan. I didn’t get far before I realized making your own fully fledged game as a high schooler, is mind boggling. I ended up leaving the project alone, and I haven’t touched the game in almost a year. I still go back to it for inspiration and nostalgia. I don’t plan on continuing the game, unless I ever join an indie team by some chance. I would like to make the game some day, but it’s just a plan in the background. Recently, I’ve turned to texturing, data packs, 3d modelling. I now work on Resource Packs for Minecraft. Most of these I haven’t finished, but the one I am currently working on has gone further than any other of my packs. This one I’m making, I plan on completing it and releasing it for download. I still have lots to do, and new plans for the pack keep coming. It is a quality of life pack, and it converges the original Minecraft textures, whilst recolouring, remodelling, and changing blockstates. I’ve also began to replace some of the sounds in the game. Changing the thunder files was fun. I am very proud of the pack, and it’s a project that I am committed to finishing.

Goodgis, I want to support you as a developer. You've really come a long way and you're doing a fantastic job! I want to support you, because you have encouraged me, and continue to do so. Not only directly-in your comment reply-when you (paraphrasing, here) told me to get back on that horse... but also through your stories and dev logs. Just the fact that you're a graphic designer by trade who faced numerous setbacks in your climb toward professional developer manages to echo my experience. I started in design in 1999, then moved to TV + film in 2015. I still have yet to release a game project, as I've been caught up in many of the same mistakes your various videos highlight. I just want you to know that your efforts have impact. You are successfully reaching an audience... and one who benefits when you say, "You got this. Now, get back to work." I truly desire to see you through your upcoming releases, including and beyond Dewdrop Dynasty, and hope to have some hand (even as a sideline supporter) in helping you start that studio which hires the community members you believe in, which you mentioned in a previous video. Please keep making great content. Please keep telling great stories... through art, through games, through dev logs, and tutorials. You got this. Now get back to work. --- P.S. - Even though mine wasn't the featured comment relevant to your point, I want you to know that my son's eyes lit up when he caught sight of my profile pic scrolling by in this video @ 6:14. You made a 10 y/o's day, today, 'cause his dad's face got a cameo in a KZbinr he likes' video. My son is a big fan of Hollow Knight and we're both anxiously awaiting the Dewdrop demo.

@Magnymbus3 жыл бұрын
I mean, if you want precise geometry and shading, you can use Blender to reduce the resolution and color palette procedurally. There are some things you'll still have to do by hand, but it changes the workload. This sort of method is also really rewarding for those who make models out of almost exclusively primitives. Really, the tricky part is getting the nodes in order and getting the lighting to play nice, but a little bit of color theory (Literally just adding a tiny amount of blue to shadows and a tiny amount of yellow to highlights) works wonders for that last one. Then once you have it set up how you like it, you spend your time playing with shapes, angles and colors rather than shading and such. You do still have to be careful though.

I found pixel art a type of art that transitions from being simple to detailed by the style of the environment easily which is really cool

with the colors, use color combinations like red+blue+yellow, black and white or getting two complimentary colors and shifting one color over in the wheel e.g. blue+orange -----> blue=yellow. also dont make your reds too vibrant, making the color a bit more light will definitely help! ok have a good day!

This is great advice! I hope a lot of beginner artists see this, whether or not they want to do pixel art, because your advice can be really helpful no matter what type of art someone is learning. I especially hope they listen to the "practice where it hurts" part because something I see a lot of beginner artists do is to avoid drawing things they're bad at, specifically hands. Avoiding drawing hands often leads to awkward poses and, although I'm not that good of an artist myself, hands aren't actually that hard after you practice them for a bit and learn what shapes they're made of.

As someone that does a lot of pixel art, tip number 6 is really important and something to add, if you work on the areas you struggle, you might find something you love doing! I thought I would HATE tilesets, but when I started to do it and I really enjoyed working on tilesets more than working on characters

“Don’t speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn’t know the difference. Words are energy and cast spells, that’s why it’s called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life. What you’re not changing, you’re also choosing” -Bruce Lee I feel this is really appropriate for your final tip especially and it’s something I’ve struggled with and struggled to work on.

When I got started I found it helpful to take an image that I liked or had the feel/composition I was after and turn down the opacity then block in the image with less detail in the colors that I was wanting to use. It helped me figure out what I was doing wrong with shading/positioning, then I could take that re-colored image as a reference for what I wanted to make and start over with a new canvas now that I understood how to compose the image.
