A Programmer's Guide to Pixel Art 

"It's not about talent, it's about a willingness to learn." This is what so many people don't get about art.

Me an artist would like a guide to programming lmao

All you really need for pixel art is a fresh supply of MS Paint

Thanks for this! I found I have a very intuitive sense for pixel art, but I wasn't able to put a lot of the ideas I used into words. You helped me better understand what I already knew I was passively doing and helped me realize rules that I didn't know I was using.

Thanks for this video, I was looking for a tutorial to draw pixel art and I think this one makes the most sense

Some super awesome tips!! I need to remember to do Hue shifting more~

Incredibly useful video, thanks for sharing these tips!

These are awesome tips that apply to non-pixel art too, like 4K drawings or 3D models. Great video!

Bro I love how u talk fast without any addition like subscribe to the channel or something like that, keep it up body

Straight to the point, never goes off topic. Awesome video!

Those magic words at the end and the cool outro music just sold the video PERFECTION!!!

You are underrated.

thank you for that even if i choose now to not use pixelart itself and switching to prerenderd 3d objects as my way to go. Helped a lot and gave a ton of insight

Really cool content ! Tyvm

This video is awesome!

I love how you logiced art for me. My mind is wierd and pattern recognition helps

Wow this is really great, should had been recommended to me sooner

You are so fking good man.... wow. Keep the videos coming please!

You are one of my favorite RU-vidrs, your videos are so inspirational and helpful i learned alot from you. Pixel art isn't easy can you give me tips about pixel art for Ms paint it would mean alot???

Hi @DaFluffyPotato I was wondering if you can do a short video on how you create your assets and how you maintain scale? Like creating the tiles and PC/NPC and ensuring they are to scale with the world/tiles. Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Great video!

I've always been interested in game design from a technical perspective, but one thing that's held me back from trying it is a lack of vision. When you started getting into game development, did you go into it with a plan for what type of game you wanted to make? Or did you just start making something? I'm concerned that if I dive in without something specific in mind, then I'll give up too easily.

Being colorblind, this is a nightmare

I would love to see a tutorial for camera-zoom

Genius. No more words.

Amazing dude! My games are inspired from yours!!👍👍

Hi great video! Might be a stupid question, but what do you use to draw your pixel art? On your computer or a tablet? And for software you mentioned using Paint before, what do you use nowadays? Sorry if I missed you answering these in the video

i’m really trying to get my style down. color, scaling, patterns- making it all cohesive is tough, but hoping to get better!

"there are some people who dont understand the beauty of pixels"

thank you!

Sir, could you make a video on how to make our own characters for python's pygame development ! I am struggling, pls help sir !

Thanks for the video. I love pixel art, and am actively trying to refine an idea for a game of my own I can complete in a few months. I am kinda jumping around the style and genre, but my preference would be turn based strategy and pixel art. As I love both. But I kept reading that pixel art is pretty much over saturated and won't stand out unless it's perfect. Which mine will definitely not be given the time I am going to have. So I kinda backed up from pixel art at one point, but you gave me a hope again. My question though is - when starting a new game, do I need all of the art figured out? Like the dimensions and scaling, or can this be defined later in the process? How costly is it to change later? I would expect I need to have the dimensions defined, and change the sprites later can be a lot of work, but fairly simple I guess.

bro please make tutorial about pixel art I love your style

How do your wheat parting effects work? Do you just show different edge tiles either side of where the playing is standing amongst the wheat,?

Thanks a lot for all of your videos. I wanna ask is it true that they say you shouldn't spend that much of time on pygame? i really like python and pygame and I'm not bad in making games with pygame, so what's your take on this? is it a good idea to invest full time and effort on pygame? is it possible to use pygame in professional level? Thanks again.

can you make a vedio about jumping from ground to another? pls

this was nice

How to make a characters body parts move in pygame? Tutorial please

can u plz tell what format to save the art in so it can be used in pygame, im having a lot of trouble with it

What interpreter are you using?

If you keep everything in the same file(with the same grid) how do you split them?

plz sir give this answer Q = where from you learn programing by watching video or by reading documents of porgraming plz give the answer

all programmers sound dead inside

how you do wall jumps?

i really like this line: 7:45 to 8:00

I decided to start this game development thing with the purpose to learn python and I want to share a thought: maybe there are other game enginges that make life easier for a game dev, but they don't give you the same knowledge and skill that working with pygame can give. I mean, it's about having an idea and make it real just with your problem solving skills and language knowledge. I think that the same concept can be applied to MS Paint. It's not how many things an instrument can make, but it's about how many things you can get from that instrument. A question: what do you think about making games with a narrative structure? have you ever wanted to make one or eventually made it?

7:09 you sound like hiccup from httyd

what is the use of json file in animation

Show... Like! 👏

I was wondering about this, I made pixel art for a game on paint but if i were to use it in my game, becuase it is JPG it has white background, how do i make background transparent like a png?

Do you need a coulor pallete? Or can i just do my own thing be because i dont wanna be restricted with my coulors

9:06 its about drive its about power we stay hungry we devour

i would recommend to software Pixelorama

Can we make io games with pygame ? Can we integrate to Django?

Me, who can't even beat level 5 in aeroblaster: wait there is LEVEL 7

Your vid is good or something. I subscribed, or whatever. Keep making a good product, if you want, I guess.... lol ;)

please tell me a roadmap to became a pixlart game developer

Me, a SNES artist:

That’s what i am

Hello

deadmau5: I can't play so I click programmers: I can't draw so I click

indians! I summon you!

Do you know any good pixel art programs that are free?

What if you're an artist that can't code? xP

the only thing indont like in your games is the physics of the player movement.

When will you make a face reveal? 10k maybe?

You do sound like a programmer.

I'm an artist with no talent programming the other way around

“So ur a programmer with no talent for art” even worse bro, I’m an artist who’s about to try and learn coding for the first time

QuickDrqw TCG is a normal, but it is baging game

You don't need talent for art period. Most of it comes with practice

I’m a pixel artist that wants to learn programming, where’s my guide?

Don't mind me, just a random artist coming through.

Pixel art always was interesting to me, but slight colour blindness makes me fear it

not to be rude but the player head feels out of place to me

DaFluffyPotato: saturation will give people a headache Also DaFluffyPotato: saturate the things that you want to draw people's attention to hmmmmmmm
