Yay! More pixel art tutorials!

@MythicBeanProductions Год назад

hard to explain just how helpful these tutorials are

@alexpfeifle879 Месяц назад

These videos have been a great resource as I start thinking about how to design my characters

@user-nn5vg5ct5n 9 месяцев назад

bro full making uni lectures for pixel art love it if this was a real class i might not be sleeping in the back row

@raider_him577 Год назад

you are the youtuber that explains perfectly

@Gandalfsoda Год назад

I really appreciate this video! im working on a game of my own (but funnily enough, being a game dev student means i basically work on every game but my passion project.) and i had recently redone my sprites to have a bit more expression, giving them mouths similar to earthbound characters, but i hadn't really delved into stretching those sprite proportions for crazy expressions yet. your videos are always a help, even for a more seasoned spriter like myself ! totally gonna have a lotta fun messing around with getting faces right.

@krystalwithay8232 3 месяца назад

Oh could I maybe try it out

@MaxBurnHeart Год назад

That's amazing! Just when I was wondering how can I improve my character's pixel art in my game! Thank you for this video, it's gonna be extremely helpful! :)

@souldatrickster1828 Год назад

Thanks for doing a lesson on faces! I had a general idea on it, but this helped brighten my style choices even more!

@nahruz.w3044 Год назад

I just spend 20 minutes watching this video. Man, I love pixelart. Thanks Adams

@VRNocturne Год назад

Nice video - never thought about hairstyles being for MCs/protags - interesting perspective or hair style choice. Us pixel artists even have to be hair stylists :D I mostly think about what looks interesting, fun to animate or look at (and can actually pull off lol) and usually the sprite would follow the portrait (like in FFT) So glad to have found this channel. Videos like this are why.

@Jack_______oh Год назад

As an artist you should try to strike a balance between breaking and following rules. If you want your protagonist to have a more "villainois" cut, you can make it work.

@kamelthecamel794 Год назад

NEW UPLOAD! you are my favorite!

@JudasBlack Год назад

Awesome stuff. The character turned out cool too.

@loakciol3482 Год назад

Thank you for your videos, you are an inspiration. I hope my creations will be as beautiful as yours one day!

@_varan_4973 Год назад

Perfect! LOVE ur videos!

@compatriot852 4 месяца назад

One thing I have yet to find any videos on is curly hair. Straight or spikey hair is what you find the most info/resources on for video game pixel art I really would like to see a video done on this aspect

@ALFREDVoid 3 месяца назад

Adam the head collector.

@concept007 Год назад

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks.

@rishomevans6153 Год назад

Just when I most needed it

@spriet_ Год назад

I never thought that I could enjoy your content more than I did (which was a lot), but then you mentioned Terraria. :D

@Skeffles Год назад

Great video Adam!

@domedin9894 Год назад

Every time I check you discord for notifications I pray for a video finally one came.

Well done! Bodies/anatomy next please.

@zeldinus Год назад

Nice!

@LongFlannel Год назад

another hit

@reyalfa18 Год назад

i would love a tutorial kinda like this but for animals or non human characters and the like, i find myself doing pixel art for a heavy fantasy setting with many kind of species that aren't human and i struggle the most doing heads on them.

@chadsutphen9401 10 месяцев назад

keep em coming.....please

@barbarosking3694 Год назад

Nice video

@bubblemage Год назад

I wonder if you'd ever plan to make a video about "perspective", like how to draw a character facing to the right and stuff like that, because that's SO hard for me... I tend to draw people facing to the camera and use the symmetric tool because that's just easier to do

@quacky2 Год назад

he has one i think it’s this 8 directional thing video

@robotplums4 Год назад

Really enjoying Adam's content. I come from a Vector background, but getting into retro pixel art for our current dungeon project, and picking up a lot of good tips from his videos. Anyone know the name of the software that he's using to draw/sketch/paste images into? It looks really useful, being able to set up a board with all sorts of references on, and being able to pan/scroll/zoom in and out easily, as well as make notes on.

@jeanvillasboas3258 6 месяцев назад

Did you found the software?

@ItalianRossana 4 месяца назад

Woah! Robin! Iconoclasts!

@griff424 Год назад

giving expressions to heads is hella hard

@JADEN_THE_ONE Год назад

Noice

@jaysonlo5028 Год назад

Maybe next time make characters generator or creatures generator tutorials? Great videos by the way, save me a lot of time. Thanks

@masondyer7604 Год назад

Do you have any advice or starting point for scene transitions, opening scenes that use a more detailed style?

@DOyaV31 Год назад

Please do an analysis on Trials of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 3) 1995. It's easily one of the most beautiful games I've ever played and I think its pixel art is outstanding, to say the least.

@Cartonus_prime Год назад

17:35 how did you remplace the blue with the green so fast ? I had to manually change the color when i do something like this in Asprite :o

@ellisstanley7361 Год назад

In Aseprite, turn off "contiguous" when using the fill tool. It's in the hotbar above the canvas.

@Cartonus_prime Год назад

@@ellisstanley7361 thanks!!

@BonytoBeastly 6 месяцев назад

Any thoughts on the best engine to use to make a top-down pixel-art RPG game?

@elonrichardson1743 6 месяцев назад

What software are you using?

@kallegrahn4612 Год назад

I was wondering what is your opinion on Pixelmon? It is an art program, often used to make pixel art and I coulden't find much information about it, I just wonder if you or someone say how good it is?

@goombacumba608 Год назад

I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR STUFF TO HELP ME DRAW CHARACTERS. THIS IS A GOD SENT GIFT. Its for sprites :(

@Shoopietoopie Год назад

could i know how you're doing the animated background on leonardo

@AdamCYounis Год назад

It's just a purple background that I'm keying out in OBS for the video. The background in Leonardo isn't moving at all

@bouz07 Год назад

You lost me at 9:20 . You touch on many already well known areas of pixel art but when you said it was a bad design I had to laugh out loud. Guys don't listen to this guy, open your own png or bmp and start working on it some of the information this guy is spilling out is flat wrong.

@AdamCYounis Год назад

Sometimes we have to be critical of the things we love if we ever hope to improve on them.
