Ok so the IA just created a glove fit pixel art tutorial with a nice, well spoken, clear and pedagogic teacher, thanks IA I love you joking but also this is just what I needed and when I needed it most tomorrow starts my first gamejam and Im the pixel artist so 4.000.000 thanks and subscribers =)
This is awesome!🌳
Thank you so much, Kausemus!
Can you do mountain tutorial too?
Hi KeyGameUniverse! For mountains, some of the same concepts apply as for rocks. But I might make a video specifically on mountains in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!
can you please explain what all different layer modes mean and different effects we can achieve through those modes also make what convolutional matrix do and how it can be utilized effectively.. nice tutorial
Hi inspacesilence, thank you for suggesting those topics. I will put them on my list for future videos. Thanks for watching!
@@PixelPrinciples will be waiting
Can you please make a video on grayscale
Hello AdhuPrime, thanks for the suggestion! Is there anything specific you would like to know about grayscale?
@@PixelPrinciples grayscale in pixel art generally,i struggle on how to understand and use it in my art
Okay, I will consider it for a future video. In the meantime, maybe you find my other video useful, in which I show the importance of using grayscale to check the color values in your image. I think I cannot add a direct link in the comments, but I added it now in the video description, if you are interested.
@@PixelPrinciples thank you very much, i also wanted to ask, to be a professional pixel artist, should i learn how to draw also
I think it depends on what you would like to create. Practicing how to draw will help with sketching things like landscapes, character portraits etc. If you want to create asset packs for, let's say, top-down indie games, you probably don't need to draw much. In any case it is good to learn the fundamentals such as color theory, perspective, lighting etc for any pixel art you want to create.
If your brush has 4 different images of your leafs click on the pull down menu next to the little bag icon (change it from pattern align to source to paint brush)
Hi AstriaTV, thank you for the suggestion! Indeed there are more options and features regarding custom brushes. I might cover that topic in a separate video at some point. Thanks for watching!
great tutorial
Thank you, mrderpy!
Hi, thanks fpr the video. Its very inspiring. Is it a point & click adventure game you are working on? Cheers!
Thanks for watching, Hammerhugon! Yes, it is a point & click game. Still in its early stage, though, but more on it will come in the future.
Really like your very efficient workflow! Really helpful stuff here!
Hi Hanmerhugon, thank you very much! Glad it was helpful!
That animation at 1:45 was smooth damn.
Hey thekiubec, glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
love from china ,great tutorial!😍
Thank you so much! Great to hear that you like it :)
this is great make a course and ill buy it.
Hi falseknight, thank you so much! Glad you like it.
Hello Norman 😊 thx for cool vid, a lot of help with the rocks
Welcome back, Telipinus! Thank you for your feedback :)
Thank you youtube for recommending such a nice channel
Hi atmaca, thank YOU for leaving such a kind comment! 😊
Rocks! I always struggle with them! Thanks for the tutorial my friend, those rocks are really good :D
Welcome back, Cotufa! 😀 Thanks for your feedback!
Another good video! but i must ask: How you choose palette? How you understand what a tone color be the good for your main color? maybe there are some rules about this? For example: HSV color I have (H: 100, S: 100, V: 100) will be it correct if my next color tones will be like: H: 100, S: 100, V: 80 H: 100, S: 100, V: 60 H: 100, S: 100, V: 40 H: 100, S: 100, V: 20 or do you choose by eye?
Hi Hell, thanks for your feedback! Creating nice palettes works best if you follow some guidelines of color theory. Two general rules that you can follow are: 1) Once you have a base color, let each darker tone of that color be less saturated than the previous, and shift its hue more towards blue on the color spectrum. 2) Do the opposite for the lighter colors: Let each lighter tone be more saturated than the previous, and shift its hue more towards yellow on the color spectrum. There is more to say on the topic of color theory, so I might make a video on that subject in the future.
Yeah, good advice. For more what i can add is vid of Saultoons channel where i found some good advices when it comes for colors and other stuffs
@@Telipinus01 When you find your way in creating palettes coloring turns amazing and fun to the next level
I like dirty-pixel style arts, they looks more "living" and athmospheric for me, but i think for dirty-pixel arts more be better - get the bright colors rather than "gray"/faint colors. But still, i like your work! =D
Hi Hell, thanks for your suggestion! Glad you liked it overall :)
Nice video, actually for people who can in painting this is lifehack. But remember if your read this newbee, firstly you must learn how to paint and only then try this manual)))). I can't paint, so this manual is not for me, but my girlfriend can paint, and she says "Jeez! That a lifehack!" and for next couple of minutes she draw the tree... and another tree... and one more tree... and now she paint only trees. But that a question: how to do this with top-down? She asks, not me)))
Hi Hell, really nice to hear that the video inspired your girlfriend to create some trees! For top-down trees, you can apply the same method, but you'd have to create your custom brush in a way that reflects the changed perspective correctly. Also a trunk needs to be drawn from a different angle, if you want a trunk to be visible (and depending on the art style). Maybe this could be a nice follow-up video at some point, so thanks for your question!
These videos are really great! Especially for a pixel art noob like me, great video! :)
Hi Strife, thank you very much! Always great to hear that the videos are helpful :)
i liked your tutorials. After i did watch tree and bush video, i did hit the bell, now this video came up just right time. Thank you for sharing bro.
Hi hoppalapasam, thanks for your feedback! Glad you liked the tutorials.
wow this is amazing... I used to draw with details but since i start drawing in pixel i make things so messy and noisy like what you did I'm straggling how to make it simple yet has depth and details,,, keep doing these videos its very helpful
Hi sarah, thank you so much for your nice feedback! Great to see that it's helpful! More videos will surely come! :)
Superhelpfull tutorial
Thanks for watching, wegil! Great to see it was helpful!
This is underrated. Great video
Thank you pxlwiz, glad you like it!
Awesome video thanks!
Hi Kayhen, thank you very much!
trees are ... were the hardest for me :) i almost klicked away when you said it was easy in the beginning of the video . but maaaan thank you :) the brush and shading are so cool :)
Hi Mikas, thank you so much! I'm glad you didn't click away during that intro! 😄 Nice ambient music on your channel, by the way! I will check out some more of it.
wooow that scene looks fire bro 🔥🔥 I will take those 3 lessons as well I like how the grass turned out at the end and I like the composition of everything, and yeah the boat looks a bit off compared to the rest of the scene beacuse it's a lot less detailed than the water for example. With bushes, I like the custom brushes you use there, but I would suggest not adding light tones on the bottom part of the bushes, even a slighty lighter tone, beacuse that would show that the light comes horizontally, unless that's what are you looking for. But actually I think this is one of your best scenes so far on your proyect :D
Hi Cotufa, that's some really nice feedback! Thanks for the suggestion regarding the bushes. Very happy to see that you like the scene!
ooo Cotufa hi :D
@@Laymer331 what's up :D
Nice video :)
Hey Laymer, thanks a lot!
Hey Norman, dont you think there is smthg with your boat? Its fine but the bow vs stern isnt so good looks more like a bath tube from my perspective but this could be smthg with my eyes
Hey Telipinus! I agree, the boat is not perfect yet, and I guess I will give it a makeover at some point. I was actually thinking, too, that it looks too much like a red bathtub, before you posted this :D
Hello, which program you recommend for editing video?
Hi Telipinus, I started with Shotcut, which is not bad when you are just starting out, but it has its limitations and doesn't always run smoothly. I am currently switching to the free version of Davinci Resolve, which is recommended by many people and seems indeed great so far. I does have a steeper learning curve, though, so it depends on how much time you want to spend to learn the software. If you have the time and start from scratch, maybe start with Davinci Resolve directly.
@PixelPrinciples Thx for the fast and deep respond, is it somehow connected to the Cupcut cuz i was wanderring to edit with this program. I heard good opinions about Davinci Resolve and if you do your videos in it i can really see a difference. Im looking forward to see your project as you depvelop.
Thank you! I haven't tried Capcut, so I don't know if it is a good software to start with. Good luck with your videos!
I was expecting more views
Hi milosmml, thanks for watching and adding another view to the counter! 😀
Lines for creating depth of 3d, great tip. Thx for that xd you just helped me a lot for a hill under my castle to my project
Hey Telipinus, great to hear that the video was helpful! Good luck with your project!
Thx m8, and as for me, house on the left is smthg better😊 but do what you want bith are fine
Great job in simplicity things. May i ask you for borrowing idea with the cow, plz? I just have an idea with sad cow
Hi Telipinus, thanks for your feedback! Sure, go ahead with the cow :)
@PixelPrinciples Yeay thx m8
clear and concise! thanks
Hi clemhamon, thank you for your nice feedback! Glad you like it
Hey, new one here and also trying pixel art. Great tip with lines for proportions, thx very much. Maybe your shoes in idle state are not so slim? All by this is very helpful. While i see this guy i have 'Adbert' name in mind while this is fantasy medieval vibe
Hey Telipinus, welcome to the channel and thanks for your suggestions! Happy to hear that you found some useful information in this video. And I agree, he looks kind of like an 'Adbert'! :)
@PixelPrinciples I knew you would like it xd i will stay tuned here. When i will have my own video near future wil be happy to hear your suggestions m8
Cool, good luck with your video! Let me know when it's done. :)
woow the video and editing quality as been improved a lot since your last video :O Btw I like the method AND that lil' bush >:D
Hi Cotufa, so glad that you noticed! Indeed, I felt it was time to put some time and effort into taking the video quality up a bit. Also thanks for your feedback on the method! :)
@@PixelPrinciples Hehe yeah, the method is amazing, the thing is execute it correctly, otherwise the leaves would look repetitive, but you did it really well, I love both the bush and the tree ;)
Thanks, very useful!
Welcome back, gaticomuchacho! :) Thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear it was useful!
Great pic of the cat, gaticomuchacho!😊
Thanks :D
You are welcome, black_fox! Thanks for watching!
Woow :O
Hi Cotufa! Happy to see you liked it :)
@@PixelPrinciples I hope you your game turn out great :D
I'm getting some weird encoding problems with this video, both the image and audio is a bit "choppy".
Hi Shabby! Oh no, that's strange. Not really sure why that is. I am not aware of any different settings that I might have used in my video editing software. I will try to find out what causes this, and hopefully the next ones will be okay again. Thanks for letting me know!
@@PixelPrinciples Yes, I haven't had any problems with your other videos, so not sure why this one is wonky.
Me too
living room reveal at 0:14!!!
the start looks a bit like something out of habbo hotel but the end weathered look has a completely different feel. Really cool process especially when you explained the lighting and shading changes! super underrated
Hi goldfinchui, thank you so much! Glad that you liked it!
Oh and thanks for the more fundamental layer of why there could be multiple vanishing points in the first place...
You are very welcome! Happy to see it was useful. Thanks for your feedback!
Oohhh YEah....not one...Not Two...ThrREsss VanshiNG PoiNTS HA ha !
Proceed with caution. Once you start seeing more than three, you might have discovered time travel 😉
Bro....i didnt even start the video....What an amazing thumbnail! ....Nailed what i was looking for...honestly tierd of fkin 300mm telephoto scenes in pixel art bruuh/......:(
Hey applepiepinefruit! Thanks a lot, glad you found what you were looking for!
The final render looks great! The swoosh lines are called "smears" or "smear lines". But as per custom, I have to offer my two cents. :D I wonder if there are too many shades that are too similar? I'm imagining that the other animations in the future can end up being too much work for not much benefit in the end, as in these kinds of low pixel animations two shades would be sure enough? Also I kind of think that the final render could have a more subtler smear line in one or two frames in the point where the axe would be moving the fastest. Too dramatic "cartoony" smears would not really fit in my opinion either. Anyway keep it up! It's fun to follow how the project develops!
Hi spegger! Thanks a lot for your feedback and your two cents once again 🙂 I agree that two shades would probably be enough. I might reconsider the current shading at a later point in the development, if indeed I get the feeling that this is not as time-efficient as it could be for a large number of animations. For now, I like how it looks and will keep it for the time being. Having a more subtle smear line (thanks for the term! 😄) was suggested by gaticomuchacho in the other comment, too, and it sounds like a good idea. I will experiment a bit more. Thanks for watching!
very good job with that animation, the final result is great. Regarding whether or not to add the swoosh effect, I think that doing something more subtle or discreet could look realistic without looking cartoonish. It occurs to me that instead of using grays, using a darker tone and reducing the opacity could look good. I'm curious to know what your game is going to be about, I'll be attentive!
Hi gaticomuchacho, thank you very much! I might try and experiment a bit more with that effect. Thank you for the suggestions!
Looks great, i think it's better without the stretch, because it would not suit to the game aesthetic
Thank you for your feedback, quimera!

Hi, I'm selling these fine leather jackets!
How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
Congratulations, Nice kitchen. I like how strictly you work on perspective and how you use colors. Those tones with that low saturation convey a lot of calm.
Hello gaticomuchacho! A calm vibe is exactly what I was trying to achieve here, so it is great to hear that this works for you. Thank you for watching and your kind feedback!
