pathfinder tileset project i abandoned. should i revisit? 🤔

hello, i'd like to inform u that i find ur art extremely beautiful and bc of that i got the urge to learn how to do pixel art, so yeah its been a while since doing anything art related so thanks. do u have any tips for begginers? hope ur doing well ♡

thank you so much!! always happy to inspire 💗💛

the biggest resource i used when i was learning pixel art was the pixeljoint forums. you can see the most popular resources here!

(i would skip over any of the threads about software, they're all dated before aseprite came out. its genuinely the only software you need nowadays. it's on steam!)

this thread especially is very useful for first learning the basic rules.

there' s a lot of things that are specific to pixel art that you will need to learn, but there is also a lot of general art knowledge you'll need. i've been doing studies and school for art longer than i can remember. just takes a lot of time, that's all there really is to it : )

heya! i'm ilta (she/her), and i'm a pixel artist! i make art that fluctuates between cute, strange, and creepy. i tend to focus on aesthetics and soft colors. for work, i make pixel art commissions, and pixel art video games. i also steam on twitch @ilta222!

Hi! Love your pixel art! What programs do you use to make it? Any tips how to start? Tysm!

thank you so much! i use aseprite, you can find it on their website here, and there’s also a steam version! its the best pixel art program hands down.

for starting tips, i would read this thread and study each bullet point extensively. pixel art is a very specific art medium that requires certain things in each piece and this thread goes over a lot of those things.

for starters, color limiting, ie; using a color palette with very few colors, is one of the biggest things a newbie should learn. with that i would also try to start out with smaller resolutions, no more than 150px at the widest/tallest.
