On days 1 through 5, I learned pixel art by watching youtube videos and practicing. For a complete beginner, it was very overwhelming and I didn't really know where to start or what the best way of going about learning pixel art is. I also purchased Aseperite which was a big help and definitely worth the $20.
On day 6, I bought 2 courses by gamedev.tv on pixel art and I would work on them from days 7-20.
The first course is all about the fundamentals. It teaches you about dithering, outlining, line work, highlighting and shading, camera angles, and simple animation. The course then shifts focus to making items. When on sale for $10 the course is definitely worth it if you're a beginner.
The second course is all about creating characters. It goes over designing characters from different perspectives and animating them. This course is very good as well and worth it if you have already done the first one and want a bit more structure in your pixel art adventure.
For the last 10 days, I was back on my own with youtube and practicing. Here is where I really started being impressed with myself because I was basically doing everything myself (sometimes following along with tutorials). I would play Pictionary with myself and a random word generator I found on the internet which was a lot of fun!
Overall, I’m really happy with the way this challenge went, and I would strongly recommend you try it out if you want to learn pixel art and you have an hour a day to spare.
This video is like a pixel art tutorial for complete beginners and you learn you learned pixel art. Pixel art for beginners is basically what I did in this video. I went from pixel art noob to someone who is decent at pixel art. I made many pixel art drawings during this pixel art challenge and had a lot of fun making pixel art. In pixel art you place pixels to make things and you go at a small canvas size for pixel art. Pixel art games are made with pixel art and they are often indie games. You can use unity to make pixel art games. To actually make pixel art I used aseperite and watched many aseperite tutorials. This is a pixel art guide for complete beginners and it will help you learn pixel art.

Thanks for making the video the way you did. Tired of seeing people draw masterpieces but act like they didn't do anything great.

Great video! I'm a software engineer and have always had a passion for game dev, but always give up when I realise I suck at art. This gives me hope!

This video was super coal! The rock puns were real gems. Definitely won't take it for granite.

your elbows never left 90 degrees

I love this video dude! no quick Gen-Z editing, just chill laid back content, taking things slowly but surely, I love it :)
-
You didn't just say Jalapeno pepper x) All round good video! It's nice to have people documenting their journey to show that progress and quality can come from discipline, not just talent :)
-
Helpful, and I love the positivity. Good energy
-
Im currently working on a metroidvania based on pixel art, and this helped! Thanks :D
-
Fantastic video man! Really enjoyed it. Keep em coming

I’ve been doing pixel art for 3 years now (not meaning to promote myself too much, but some of it is posted!), and I’m completely self taught. The biggest tip I can give anyone is to be patient. Art takes time, to make, and to learn. Don’t expect it to be perfect on the first, second, third, or even twenty fifth time. But don’t be discouraged, either.
-
Thanks for this, I will probably follow a similar structured track you laid out, definitely a big help!
-
Really nice video. It is true that an hour a day of practice can make you better at not just pixelart, but everything in general. If you want to make pixel art animation you should also check a bit of the animation theory. Alan becker had some really fancy way of explaining it on his channel.

Awesome video. I have been stuck for like a year and kind of just gave up. Just felt overwhelmed a lot of times and din't want to finish anything. I feel like you bought up some good points and maybe I need to try a course instead of all these different guides. I'm gonna try do the daily pixel challenges and see how it goes. Thank you
-
