Pixel Art Tutorials!
 

I've been working on a series of tutorials and wanted to post them here so everyone can use them!


This is a basic Light Source Tutorial:

Tell me if you want any specific tutorials!

The pixel mask speed drawing interested me. The colors you used and the way you shaded it... I like it :) very interesting. Nice job iNana :)

You're getting the hang of color selection! :D Good job.

All because of you<3

Hmm, any reason while working on the mask you didn't just work on one side and flip it to save time? The front is mirrored so I didn't quite see the point of spending all the time repeating the pixels on the other side when you could have just flipped it.

Not sure honestly, just the way I work I guess :P

I saw how you selected your colors and I wanted to ask now of how can me, a pixel artist, can select vivid and really pop-out colors like the one in that mask speed drawing (also for the headband you tried to make it).

Basically, a color selection guide

I'd embed the image but it's not mine. Credit goes to Kiwipunto.

My attempt at a color palate, help? http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/...a2/pallate.png

Nice iNana! +rep!

You need a brighter white as yours is too dark for eyes and other things.
Majority of the colors are the same as mine or similar by 10 brightness or hue, why is that? :O

I literally made that from scratch :o i just started at black and went on a whim, i didn't copy yours or anything :o where would the white go?

A lot of the colors are similar or the same to mine ><

Nice of you to share these with the community :)

I started with those blues because those have always been my universal three, and went from there. I didn't choose any too heavy in any area of rbg, just played with it. Yours is like 18 mines like 26 :o I wouldn't just copy yours like that

Some have the exact value or are very close. I opened the palette and tried to recolor some of my sprites using your colors. Some of the sprites colors didn't change or changed in the slightest.

You can't just coincidentally come up with 20 or so colors that are the same or similar to mine.

I didn't even download yours or open it at all? It was all from scratch

I understand what you're saying but I can promise you it was all from scratch.

Shut the **** up. God damn let it go, it's not nearly that big of a deal.

If you aren't good at picking colors, I suggest using Dawnbringer's color palette. (found via google)

You can also use my color palette which I use as a base for most of my latest stuff. It's not professional, but it gets me from A to B.

I only use it as a base.

Mines working ok for now, i may need to add a brown or 2 in there and a 3rd light yellow, I learned color picking from some link bam posted :P

Arne's color palette from over at Pixelation:

I really love your mask, I'm a big fan of masks and it was fun to watch you make one :D

Will you make a video about shading please?
