I do my spray paint videos as a long form and just show the cover getting taken off as a short. I hand painted the grass hills to make them look better after this.

The texture on the dark reddish brown planet is great! Any chance you’d do little tutorials on some of the techniques, like “ideas for different textures” or “how to achieve this or that kind of shadow”… things like that?
It's a bit outdated now as I change things up slightly each time I do anything to find ways to improve, but I made a guide a few months ago before I changed the channel name that I still feel is a decent starting point at least. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IT6qR4-zL8A.html Out of all the mediums I make art in, spray paint art is the most unpredictable and random. you can only control so much before you start to get in your own way, so you kinda have to feel it out along the way. Like with the blue and lilac planet and moon. Originally that was just going to be a single planet, but when I did the shadow and covered it, I realized there was another spot of interesting texture. So I added a bit more shadow onto it and made it a moon. Even the "Dark Star" at the center was a spur of the moment choice. I remembered an eclipse spray paint Casey VanArsdale did a bit earlier than I made this and that people were talking about a black sun in Dune part 2 and it just kinda clicked together right before I was going to do a light dusting of colors over the black and then maybe do a nebula/galaxy arm stripe. The next time I do a spray paint I'll try to remember to explain my thought processes a bit more as I'm working on it.
First and most importantly, Just start drawing. Over and over again and again as much as you can tolerate doing. Each time try to do things a little differently. If you like how one approach works, keep doing that and refine it, if not, try a different way of doing it. It is probably not going to look good at first, but keep going. Little by little you will grow and evolve with each turn from who you were before. Don't compare how good or bad your work is with anyone but your past self. When you look at art, do so for inspiration, see what you can take from it and adapt to how you make art. Don't say "I wish I could make something like that" and instead say "How can I apply that to my own art". Watch other artists who post the process of making their art and see what techniques you can understand and take for yourself to adapt into your own work. try to break down and think about how you would draw things you see in your daily life whether you actually want to draw them or not. Look at and try out other mediums like painting or 3d modeling, there can be a surprising amount of crossover at times and you never know what will spark an idea or give you a push to figure out something that radically changes how you approach a subject. you might also want to record your art as you create it to go back and look at later as that can help you spot things that lead to aspects you do or don't like about it. You can also turn that into videos of your own to post. If at any point you get discouraged and stop believing that you can do it, or that you will keep getting better in tiny ways with each attempt, believe in the me that believes in you.
Paint is actually pretty good for pixel art in my experience. I do art in a lot of mediums both digital and physical and take techniques from one form and adapt them to another. I try new ways of doing things, keep what works, and refine it with practice.
