Pixel Art 101: Water

[@dotaportalvideo]

I spent the whole time watching this going "oh..." "oooh..." and "oh!". Learned a lot, thanks for sharing. I'll wishlist Dwerve.

[@PeterMilko]

Thanks

[@whiteshampoodev]

This is called the "Bob Ross effect" xD

[@classicsteam5775]

I just found you yesterday (Thanks KZbin) and I'm already in love with your tutorials! Keep it up!

[@PeterMilko]

thanks for the kind words

[@adrianmakes]

All amazing games! Downwell is my personal favourite :)

[@michaeljordan2952]

Great video Pete! If you ever get the time, I think a tutorial for basic textures like wood, concrete, dirt, etc would be a great topic to cover! Plus I really don't know how to do them :.(

[@PeterMilko]

Yeah thats pretty advanced but ill do it someday

[@michaeljordan2952]

@@PeterMilko Awesome!

[@cozymonk]

I know this comment is 2 years old, but for anyone here, now: I have found the best way to learn how to draw anything you struggle with is to copy and imitate other artists. Don't just steal their art and use it as your own, but there is a reason art students do "Master Copies" where they copy a famous work of art. Tracing, recreating, etc. are great for discovering new techniques. I recently learned about offsetting tile paths by half x and y from copying A Link to The Past artwork (offset your pathways, it's amazing).

[@Skiddydebop]

I just started getting into pixel art and doing it for the first time with no artistic ability whatsoever and your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you so much for putting this all together and I'm looking forward to seeing more from you soon!

[@thebrickmaster7403]

I know I’m 3 years late to the party but I’m making a solo game and i am finding your guides very useful!

[@PeterMilko]

Glad to hear! Keep at it and send me a demo some day :)

[@TJarrellsRnD]

Tons of respect for you taking the plunge and dedicating yourself to what you love! Really enjoying this content!

"I don't wanna add so many details" *Proceeds to create such a great pixel masterpiece*

[@terracottalite]

19:35 : "It's pretty much done." The other half of the video: "Am I a joke to you?!"

[@HauntedCicadaSongs]

AHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH , IMMEDIATELY CLICKED

[@ramonsohal2404]

The attention to detail - especially the reflections in the water is absolutely great

[@DeathKurai57xx]

What a great tutorial! I really love your 101 videos. These helps me so much! =)

[@gabejohnson97]

The pacing was a little slow in the beginning of this video, but once it got rolling it was very informative, and I liked the way you explained things in detail. Thanks for sharing, Pete.

[@michaelduff2382]

I am in no way a visual artist but your videos are so good, as in you are so talented and such a competent instructor, that I can't stop watching them! Keep up the great work

[@Ric_93]

Love your videos man, SO CLOSE TO 10K! LET'S GO 💪🏻

[@PeterMilko]

Yeah 10k is going to feel pretty damn good.

[@sirgamessin9108]

Thank you Master Pete for teaching me water element, Now I only need to master fire to take on the game lord. ( jokes a side , I really appreciated this video, felt I learned so much from you)

[@RuffledFox]

Thank you really, couldn't make art at all even though I tried a lot, because I am really bad at drawing as I have a sense for aesthetic but really can't do precise gestures that are needed for drawing or painting (even took an art class for a year and still didn't really improve). Pixel art made it possible for me to make art thanks to you, really loving your tutorials, I don't think I'll make games, but I hope someday I can make some beautiful pixel art scenes. If you have any key for the software I will love it, I would really prefer using it over my options right now as it seem very much awesome.

[@MohAmuza]

To make the pattern (platform) at the end just select the drawing then go to Edit >New Brush now you turned it into a brush, you can pain with it to make a wide platform.

[@adrianmakes]

Thanks Pixel Pete, I'm considering making a chill exploring game and this is perfect for that! Gives me a huge leg up, thanks! All the best with Dwerve!

[@legofilmstopmotion2579]

You are too cool ! Thank you for these wonderful tutorials!

[@subhasish1718]

Can't believe all these tutorials are free to watch! Really thank you a lot

[@HTWwpzIuqaObMt]

I think it made it a bit natural

[@ligdjumvidja8294]

Thanks a lot for quick tip in 0:52 I searched for this tiny option for couple of days already. Feeling like a dummy

[@PeterMilko]

Glad I could help!

[@Glare108]

Very well done, helps clarify things, I was clueless when it came to making water and the edge of land look good

[@dank-man]

What if the water is umm.. Green

[@somebody7826]

Thank you! You upgraded my artstyle a lot :o

[@oscarvinicios]

More tutorials like these, please! it helped me so much!

[@PeterMilko]

[@loadcake]

As always amazing tutorial, can't wait the next one :) Love your work man

[@PeterMilko]

I will try to do them weekly :)

[@dkrumpenstein2370]

How long have you been doing pixel art? Your technique is superb man, it’s so satisfying to watch a piece you create come together

[@PeterMilko]

About 3 years now but i was an artist before i started pixel art so a lot of skills is transferable.

[@alecioleite]

Watching it again for the 10th time. Suggestion: pixel art 101 - dirt tile

[@JianjiPeppina]

Awesome tutorials! I´m waiting for so long on dwerve. Can u make a tutorial about monsters and characters? i´ve never seen before a better tutorialsseries about Pixelart!!!! Love that!

[@PeterMilko]

I will definitely make monsters!!!

[@danielegurizzan]

That reflection effect is so gooooood

[@Soundy777]

Epic tutorial!! Your eye for detail is insane

[@theuseraccountname]

Exactly. I've made little sprites (using MS Paint as that's all I have) for my own use before, but this guy's stuff is awesome.

[@frazoni.]

This is the best Pixel Art tutorial series ever, thank you so much, please keep up!

[@thecomputernutball]

Wow this was really amazing i learnt a lot thank you so much. If possible can you also make one explaining how you tackle a cave environment like a dark rocky feel this is something i also have a hard time wrapping my head around.

Yeah but I think im going to do a juice fast tomorrow to let my stomach heal.

[@roberthenderson9175]

This is awesome! It'd be really cool if you could do a video for how to animate water or something. Nobody seems to have a video on how.

6:24 Dude, your tutorials are awesome, but you keep calling this "vibrance", but that's value, vibrancy is mid-tone saturation ;)

[@JakeLondonRivers]

12:30 pause...

[@clintgh]

I love Pixel Pete so much that whenever I watch his videos I turn off my AdBlocker

[@TheSaucyP]

Subscribed a couple of days ago and i must say that this is becoming one of my favorite channels! Im learning game boy assembly programming and I would like to create my own little arti for that, just for more fun. I was wondering if you have more aesprite keys available. Never did art in my life and I'd like to start with some pixel drawings and put them in my gameboy experiments.

[@bizzy315]

Awesome vid very informative. Can you do a video on water movement? The movement in your Dwerve clips looks superb.

[@PeterMilko]

Yeah i will some day

[@venusaurmega003]

I came for the magikarp in the thumbnail

[@ghorlist3896]

Best series I have found. Do you think you can show how you would do houses? I'm trying to create something like a log cabin style house.

Yeah i will teach houses too!

great video! this really helped me, thanks.

bro i need a key for aseprite so bad lol i am trying to use krita but i cant get the damn hsv scale to work how plus a bunch of other frustrations to do with the fact its made for lots of different kinds graphic design and doesnt just focus on pixel art stuff

[@Marandal]

Game dev for a living? I'm going to do that one day too.

[@PeterMilko]

Yeah man, it's kinda scary but very rewarding

[@edujuste]

Hey man, I am watching all your videos and enjoying a lot. I am into pixel art and sprite creation. I recently finished taking a Udemy course in pixel art and thought it was very superficial. Did not have enough explanation on colors(just black and white) and pretty much only used Piskel. You seem to have much better didactics, perhaps you should make an Udemy course or post a video here in youtube and go through the things such as: Color understanding and gradient, choosing the right amount of pixels per sprite you want to create etc. Keep the good work!!

[@PeterMilko]

I'll probably do a Udemy course sometime this year.

[@runswithpencil]

Awesome! So glad I found your channel, I'm trying to make the change from traditional art into pixel art & your tutorials are just the ticket. Subscribed!

[@Narriz]

I learned so f* much. Thank you!

[@bannnz]

you should do a video teaching us how to make repeating tiles!

[@CrusaiderLP]

hey, could u show us water animation?

[@bertrodgers2420]

how do you save each 32x32 grid as a separate image though please?

[@blades575]

Can you do the sides or angle slices. I struggle with perspective and can’t really envision how that would look.

[@CheeseBrie]

Your videos make me want to make pixel art.

[@PeterMilko]

good! :)

[@blades575]

Been watching quite a few of your videos. Do you have any on animation and techniques. Like you mentioned the water animation.

[@safir2241]

i find your videos captivating and fun, from a *sea* of other tutorials, but the gradient to the water looked a bit too gray by the end of the drawing. maybe that's just my untrained eye

[@masonictraveler6558]

Did you do one on making paths and mountains I don’t see anything for terraforming

[@PeterMilko]

ok

[@masonictraveler6558]

@@PeterMilko so will you do a video on paths

I though there would be more water then transition. I guess that's I need then

what is your canvas size if you dont mind me asking

I love your videos so much man, could you possibly share some insight on how to animate the water? Is it typically done frame by frame in the pixel art, or do you affect that in unity?

Are there any keys left? Aseprite keys?

Yo! So helpful! ✌️ Thanks Pete. Do you have any tips for transferring your tips to isometric tiles?
