Finally, we can rip off... I mean take inspiration from your art!

Yeah...

its physically impossible to dont recognize your art, its so unique, even when you try different styles, its still easy to know that you made it

[@CodingWorm]

It's great that u r working with your bro.

[@darshitbharucha223]

Black thorn prod has a really really unique art and I have also applied your art tips to my art style great job noa , keep creating 😺👌👌👍👍

I got kicked out of art class :(

@SkillcraftHD nah I'm just kidding

@Skilly some may consider his techniques... Unnatural

[@sycrosclips2267]

Im not gonna lie, I am not an artistic person at all. Ive just began coding and understanding game development. This video is absolutely fantastic and I love how you can portray such an intricate world with tons of emotions without having to be a top artist. Thank you!

[@beckyboy1]

I really like this art style because it’s very broad. Some of the people you drew at the end looked very cartoony and with some lighter colors could look fun and from some Disney show. While some others looked like they were from a Tim Burton film. With your style you can make anything you want without it looking out of place because it all fits together so well

[@aditkumar4644]

Me: watching how to make game art being a pixel artist at 2 am Also me: yes

[@JustSomeDevKid]

What a coincidence, im also watching this video at the same time

[@badreddinegacem]

What's the name of the type of art used in this video? I only know about pixel art.

[@aditkumar4644]

It is called just game art or art or raster art but if it was in like illustratior it would be vector art

[@badreddinegacem]

@@aditkumar4644 what type of art the game Limbo uses?

[@aditkumar4644]

No difference between the art styles just the way u make them, vector art is easy with mouse and keyboard and can be accurate but raster art is made with a brush and takes less time, it is more on the artistic side although it seems like limbo was created using vector art coz just feels like that to me

[@demikross6669]

Your art is stylisticly amazing bro-A true inspiration.

[@mysterious_monolith_]

This is just your style. I don't think people should try to copy your style, it's your own signature. Your art looks amazing, but I'd much rather learn from your techniques than try to copy you.

[@foundx8426]

Thanks for the tutorial! Even if I am designing in colour, it is a good idea to start with silhouettes, that way my characters will be distinct and recognisable in shape before I fill in the colours

[@7ofhearts378]

I love your style Noa! 😍 All of your art is so beautiful and makes for some stunning game scenes❤️

[@crgamedev734]

Aa, yes finally, been waiting for this!

[@BlazeHeroic]

I love your art style! Its so simple and bold, yet so evocative and lively. I would love to take inspiration from your style for a game I've had bouncing around in my head for a while.

[@Skeffles]

It's really interesting to see how you do your art. It's very unique and eye catching.

[@_Dontno_]

Just by looking at your art,i have already thinked in a way to make a diferrent but similar art style. Thanks!

[@CodemasterJamal]

I always wanted to learn something like this from you. You have such a distinct art style.

[@AndrewDavidJ]

Great stuff, as always! Love your art style and it’s really cool to see a more in-depth look at your creative process :)

[@xaviercaldwell3582]

I just watched thomas brush then saw this sponsorship. Nice vid

[@katrinacalice6484]

I love those atmospheric effects and the image you created for this tutorial. I would love a story game in that kind of misty world, would be fabulous ! 😉

[@ajintelligence9355]

This is one of the best 2d art tutorial ever.. Thanks for this Noa

[@Neverjam]

Thank you so much for making this! I always do my silhouette-based stuff in illustrator with very clean and sharp lines, this video made a whole another art style seem a lot more approachable.

[@glitchydemonfairy3171]

Finally! A video that helps me! Because I suck at making scenaries for my games! Thank you!

[@playboicartihey]

man i love your style so frickin much

[@AzA609]

I love your game art style!

[@7415_Gamer]

I'm not used to 2d arts, but I did my game arts from a 3d software. Took inspirations from this vid.

[@Animabug]

Thanks so much for this! I'm an artist who needed some tips on art for indie dev, and this was amazing :)

[@zainab225]

That was the best game art video on KZbin I have ever seen! thank you so much I really love your inspiring video's thank you!

[@Awesomer929]

such an amazing style. instantly recognizable.

[@gazzolapw]

I would totally buy a photoshop course focused towards game art. I work as a game designer, but I wanted to be more independent creating my own 2D art sometimes, but it is extremely difficult to find a good photoshop course focused at game art.

[@kashanali456]

Need more video like this❤️......! Because everyone teachs code, and now I know how to code for a simple 2D game. But from the art side my level is 0😞

[@aminmeraji4932]

[@GRS_3]

I love your art style, Maybe I get my own art style in base of yours!!! Thank you very much for this video

[@kaiverkreates]

this looks easy and all until I remember I draw with mouse :')

[@a.u.3371]

I wonder, do you animate your characters frame by frame using this method? or do you use the bone thing in unity? which means disecting your character in ps right?

[@neothespankplank5839]

He uses mainly bones as far as i know from his past tutorials, because he can also use some very smooth stretch and squish movement that way to make his characters feel bouncy and cute

[@jasonchocho8000]

Great Video! Thanks for sharing your process!

[@TacticalProgrammer]

Finally! The secret has been revealed. Pretty Awesome Tips!

[@JeremyCarlsten]

So I'm not using photoshop but for the most part I've been able to follow along in Gimp. One question though, When you press ALT on a layer to use the layer below as a mask. (Pretty sure that's what it's doing) Does that have a special name in PS? Can't seem to find an equivalent in Gimp, Searching for things like Use layer as mask for another layer isn't really helping.

[@tnrfiles]

Hi Liam how are you? I would like to ask you a question. I am trying to make characters by trying to make the same characters you draw in your most videos. I want to learn the style. I wonder it is okey if I use them for my personal or commercial projects?

[@cjod634]

Wha- I searched for this yesterday, how is it possible?

[@karthikraja8858]

KZbin algorithm is so powerful... It manipulated him to make this video! 😁😁

[@danielmork1989]

Wow, zero views... thx KZbin

[@kerhabplays]

Plss noa make a series game making tutorial ..Pls??

[@uhhmir]

you should tone down the background color in Olobollo, it might help make the players more visible (:

[@RedaHaskouri]

hi sir! what if i want to create a big 2d world in photoshop! so how i can create a collider on a layer what i want ? i mean if i use tilemap to create world in unity! that not work for a big map from photoshop!! so what i can do!

[@juannuestro783]

How do you use different color in layer mask, only white grey and black are available

[@jgdovin1]

same question

[@SamuelTravnicek]

This video is a treasure!

[@hamzaalshoky8036]

Really good and cool but I liked the cute art style more

[@danthebroblox3584]

how do you make the backround not move? like when i have a camera that follows the player it just goes completely off screen, and no i dont want parallax

[@PSIBoredomOmega]

Youre art style loosely reminds me of Edmun Mcmillen's art style. And I think thats a good thing :)

[@sansavatar5929]

Wait a minute??? all this time I were following you without knowing you are french ?

[@JStaticJ]

soo i can do this type of art style but i am afraid of copying it and not making it my own thing ,i would like to do something original but idk if it already is or if will ever be
