How to Get Good at Pixel Art with NO ART SKILLS!

cool art but one thing that suprisingly make art like 2 times better is so called 2 px width outline or sometme 2 color outline like white out black in

great video!

I really appreciate your efforts! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

I am one of the people who asked😂, also I was waiting for this video very much❤🔥

Cool dudze!

Great video at the right time. You should create a video on some tips about tilesets if you will have time.

Those are great tips 🔥! Thanks!

i was about to ask you that question. "how are you soo good at pixel art"??

thank u for these tips

Man, thanks a lot for these tips!

Speaking on the constraints tip, which is so true btw. LIMITED COLOR PALLETE, and I mean REALLY LIMITED, like original Game Boy color pallete levels of limited.


I know Firebelly already mentioned using limited palletes, but it's true, and it's a great way to learn, especially if you do the combo of limited canvas size + game boy-like color pallete and even go as far as trying to actually follow the color restrictions of the original game boy, which means you'll only have THREE colors to work with on a sprite, which forces you to be economic and smart with your pixel and color placement and shading, but it also forces you to go trough lots of problem solving, which like he said, breeds creativity.


And it's really fun, too, so much so that my latest pieces have all been made in such color palletes.


However, I would not personally recommend starting with 1-bit, as I feel that's a bit too complicated for beginners, like I said, a game boy pallete is a good middle ground where you have a super limited color pallete, but still have a few color options to play with. 1-bit is just too restrictive in my opinion, better for when you already have some experience or want to challenge yourself.




Another tip, more advanced, but if you for example, want to make a bigger illustration or a background, but don't know what canvas size to pick, you can just look up the screen resolution of old consoles like the game boy and set your canvas size to that resolution, and also add a 16x16 or 32x32 grid in it to serve as a guideline, this is a great way to get started with larger illustrations.

This is fantastic advice!

Good tips ty

Really helpful tips, thanks! Yes, a part two would be great!

Thank you for this! I just bought AESprite a couple weeks ago and had been tinkering with making some art for my game. This came along at a good time :)

I love the concept of "contraints breed creativity". I hope you all the best!

Cut it out with the self deprecation. There is not a hard line between artist and non-artist.

Time to git gud

❤Pls make a part two I love your vids❤

Hey love your vids and udemy tutorial! Im curious on how did you achieve the combined attack circle and lines when enemy attempted to attack on your game? Cheers 🎉

Thank you very much for this!!!

We need a udemy course :)

This was great, part 2 please.

thanks for the tips! hoping for a part 2.

I'd love a second part. Your tips are very useful!

Honestly some great tips for beginners, good video!

Adding to the voices clamouring for a part 2 (please)

I'm an artist, but never done pixel art. For me, it's hard to color in simple. I'm shading so much that it gets hard to animate or the character color palette looks cluttered. Thank you for the video

That was a great guide for Pixel Art even I can follow!
Can you do a video about color theory?

you ARE a artist art comes in many diffirent forms and it is basically being able to convey something with a still picture,you are a artits with art skills and if anyone tries hard enough they will achieve the same

When you suggested 1-BIT pixelart so you focus on the shape of the image I was SO MAD because "DAMMIT, I know he's right". I had a Undertale phase recently, and it made me do one of my best pixelart works ever since the battle sprites are 1-BIT.

Indeed, "contraints breed creativity". Thanks for the tips.

Yeah, more tips, please

Awesome video, very helpful

Reaaly useful and great explications, i would love a part 2 about animating pixel art

Hey there, nice content!
Would love if you add an update for Godot 4 in your Udemy platformer course!

Thank you for the video! Very inspirational. I've been learning voxel art for a couple years, and I would love to learn pixel art too.

I too have Aseprite bought, from Steam. How did you manage to change the window layout? My timeline is on the bottom, and I would love to put it on the left as in your video.

@FirebelleyGames Could you make a video explaining your process for character creation? And how other indy devs can go about it? (Unless you've already done one) because your characters are very cool and creative. Thank you!
