I guess it's time to revive pixel art general. Sharing few resources which have been shared in the past

Learning Resource

Youtube guide by Adam C younis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BWr2tlK-4c[embed]

An interesting read on pixel arts http://www.yarrninja.com/pixeltutorial/index.html

Tools for pixel art,

Aseprite https://www.aseprite.org/

Pyxel Edit [Blocked URL: https://pyxeledit.com/about.php]

I have personally used aseprite, if you are looking to buy - get it from steam for around 500.

You can also compile from source code which can be found here https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite.git

We will add more to it as we go.

Also some forums which can be helpful are

[Blocked URL: https://pixeljoint.com/forum]/

r/pixelart community

Again add if you have your own suggestions since we are getting started, again.

This contains three sources,

https://lospec.com/articles/pixel-art-where-to-start/

Based on what i have read and practiced so far, i can say

>https://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299

this is really good starting - summary tutorial

>https://makegames.tumblr.com/post/42648699708/pixel-art-tutorial

You can try this one though most of the things are repeated - if you have read previous one then it's alright to ignore this one.

>https://michafrar.gumroad.com/l/pixel-logic

He has provided an e-book, you can get it for 5$ usd or something or even from other online sources. It's really good if you want to dig deeper.

These three resources should be enough to get anyone started, rest what matters is drawing and practice.

I was having a lot of difficulties - barely a newbie but i will post sirs. Once it's done.

>door/chest

Damn. I meant for it to be a crate. I see how you might think that, though. Maybe I should bump up the contrast between the front and top.

Here it is in a little mockup scene.

> lot of difficulties

Well, post your work-in-progress and let others help you out. No need to struggle alone.

Maybe consider drawing small things, like just a face instead of a whole person, so you can get more done in the same amount of time to build momentum

Mb, yeah it was kinda issue of perspective at my end tbh. It felt like i was looking 90 degree into the two chests on top of each other one being smaller than the other. Though now it makes sense and i can decipher.

>pic related

kino and yeah very clear.

>try drawing small things

yeah that's what i have been doing mostly, will share maybe by tomm if i get the chance sirs.

Working on few of the arts - one related to update will post it here first.
