[medicate-myself-with-monster]

I wanna write music and then animate my OCs dancing to it but I gotta wait for Procreate Dreams to become a usable app fit for public consumption

because I'm secretly alright at animation I just hate that the only good apps are either inaccessible on ipad or a subscription service

⭐ So you want to learn pixel art? ⭐

🔹 Part 1 of ??? - The Basics!

Edit: Now available in Google Doc format if you don't have a Tumblr account 🥰

Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic.

My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art.

This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!

🔹 Do I need money?

NO!!! Pixel art is one of the most accessible mediums out there.

I still use a mouse because I prefer it to a tablet! You won't be at any disadvantage here if you can't afford the best hardware or software.

Because our canvases are typically very small, you don't need a good PC to run a good brush engine or anything like that.

✨Did you know? One of the most skilled and beloved pixel artists uses MS PAINT! Wow!!

🔹 What software should I use?

Here are some of the most popular programs I see my friends and peers using. Stars show how much I recommend the software for beginners! ⭐

💰 Paid options:

⭐⭐⭐ Aseprite (for PC) - $19.99

This is what I and many other pixel artists use. You may find when applying to jobs that they require some knowledge of Aseprite. Since it has become so popular, companies like that you can swap raw files between artists.

Aseprite is amazingly customizable, with custom skins, scripts and extensions on Itch.io, both free and paid.

If you have ever used any art software before, it has most of the same features and should feel fairly familiar to use. It features a robust animation suite and a tilemap feature, which have saved me thousands of hours of labour in my work. The software is also being updated all the time, and the developers listen to the users. I really recommend Aseprite!

⭐ Photoshop (for PC) - Monthly $$

A decent option for those who already are used to the PS interface. Requires some setup to get it ready for pixel-perfect art, but there are plenty of tutorials for doing so.

Animation is also much more tedious on PS which you may want to consider before investing time!

⭐⭐ ProMotion NG (for PC) - $19.00

An advanced and powerful software which has many features Aseprite does not, including Colour Cycling and animated tiles.

⭐⭐⭐ Pixquare (for iOS) - $7.99 - $19.99 (30% off with code 'tofu'!!)

Probably the best app available for iPad users, in active development, with new features added all the time.

Look! My buddy Jon recommends it highly, and uses it often.

One cool thing about Pixquare is that it takes Aseprite raw files! Many of my friends use it to work on the same project, both in their office and on the go.

⭐ Procreate (for iOS) - $12.99

If you have access to Procreate already, it's a decent option to get used to doing pixel art. It does however require some setup. Artist Pixebo is famously using Procreate, and they have tutorials of their own if you want to learn.

⭐⭐ ReSprite iOS and Android. (free trial, but:) $19.99 premium or $$ monthly

ReSprite is VERY similar in terms of UI to Aseprite, so I can recommend it. They just launched their Android release!

🆓 Free options:

⭐⭐⭐ Libresprite (for PC)

Libresprite is an alternative to Aseprite. It is very, very similar, to the point where documentation for Aseprite will be helpful to Libresprite users.

⭐⭐ Pixilart (for PC and mobile)

A free in-browser app, and also a mobile app! It is tied to the website Pixilart, where artists upload and share their work. A good option for those also looking to get involved in a community.

⭐⭐ Dotpict (for mobile)

Dotpict is similar to Pixilart, with a mobile app tied to a website, but it's a Japanese service. Did you know that in Japanese, pixel art is called 'Dot Art'? Dotpict can be a great way to connect with a different community of pixel artists! They also have prompts and challenges often.

🔹 So I got my software, now what?

◽Nice! Now it's time for the basics of pixel art.

❗ WAIT ❗ Before this section, I want to add a little disclaimer. All of these rules/guidelines can be broken at will, and some 'no-nos' can look amazing when done intentionally.

The pixel-art fundamentals can be exceedingly helpful to new artists, who may feel lost or overwhelmed by choice. But if you feel they restrict you too harshly, don't force yourself! At the end of the day it's your art, and you shouldn't try to contort yourself into what people think a pixel artist 'should be'. What matters is your own artistic expression. 💕👍

◽Phew! With that out of the way...

🔸"The Rules"

There are few hard 'rules' of pixel art, mostly about scaling and exporting. Some of these things will frequently trip up newbies if they aren't aware, and are easy to overlook.

🔹Scaling method

There are a couple ways of scaling your art. The default in most art programs, and the entire internet, is Bi-linear scaling, which usually works out fine for most purposes. But as pixel artists, we need a different method.

Both are scaled up x10. See the difference?

On the left is scaled using Bilinear, and on the right is using Nearest-Neighbor. We love seeing those pixels stay crisp and clean, so we use nearest-neighbor. 

(Most pixel-art programs have nearest-neighbor enabled by default! So this may not apply to you, but it's important to know.)

🔹Mixels

Mixels are when there are different (mixed) pixel sizes in the same image.

Here I have scaled up my art- the left is 200%, and the right is 150%. Yuck!

As we can see, the "pixel" sizes end up different. We generally try to scale our work by multiples of 100 - 200%, 300% etc. rather than 150%. At larger scales however, the minute differences in pixel sizes are hardly noticeable!

Mixels are also sometimes seen when an artist scales up their work, then continues drawing on it with a 1 pixel brush.

Many would say that this is not great looking! This type of pixels can be indicative of a beginner artist. But there are plenty of creative pixel artists out there who mixels intentionally, making something modern and cool.

🔹Saving Your Files

We usually save our still images as .PNGs as they don’t create any JPEG artifacts or loss of quality. It's a little hard to see here, but there are some artifacts, and it looks a little blurry. It also makes the art very hard to work with if we are importing a JPEG.

For animations .GIF is good, but be careful of the 256 colour limit. Try to avoid using too many blending mode layers or gradients when working with animations. If you aren’t careful, your animation could flash afterwards, as the .GIF tries to reduce colours wherever it can. It doesn’t look great!

Here's an old piece from 2021 where I experienced .GIF lossiness, because I used gradients and transparency, resulting in way too many colours.

🔹Pixel Art Fundamentals - Techniques and Jargon

❗❗Confused about Jaggies? Anti-Aliasing? Banding? Dithering? THIS THREAD is for you❗❗ << it's a link, click it!!

As far as I'm concerned, this is THE tutorial of all time for understanding pixel art. These are techniques created and named by the community of people who actually put the list together, some of the best pixel artists alive currently. Please read it!!

🔸How To Learn

Okay, so you have your software, and you're all ready to start. But maybe you need some more guidance? Try these tutorials and resources! It can be helpful to work along with a tutorial until you build your confidence up.

⭐⭐ Pixel Logic (A Digital Book) - $10 A very comprehensive visual guide book by a very skilled and established artist in the industry. I own a copy myself.

⭐⭐⭐ StudioMiniBoss - free A collection of visual tutorials, by the artist that worked on Celeste! When starting out, if I got stuck, I would go and scour his tutorials and see how he did it.

⭐ Lospec Tutorials - free A very large collection of various tutorials from all over the internet. There is a lot to sift through here if you have the time.

⭐⭐⭐ Cyangmou's Tutorials - free (tipping optional) Cyangmou is one of the most respected and accomplished modern pixel artists, and he has amassed a HUGE collection of free and incredibly well-educated visual tutorials. He also hosts an educational stream every week on Twitch called 'pixelart for beginners'.

⭐⭐⭐ Youtube Tutorials - free There are hundreds, if not thousands of tutorials on YouTube, but it can be tricky to find the good ones. My personal recommendations are MortMort, Brandon, and AdamCYounis- these guys really know what they're talking about!

🔸 How to choose a canvas size

When looking at pixel art turorials, we may see people suggest things like 16x16, 32x32 and 64x64. These are standard sizes for pixel art games with tiles. However, if you're just making a drawing, you don't necessarily need to use a standard canvas size like that.

What I like to think about when choosing a canvas size for my illustrations is 'what features do I think it is important to represent?' And make my canvas as small as possible, while still leaving room for my most important elements.

Imagine I have characters in a scene like this:

I made my canvas as small as possible (232 x 314), but just big enough to represent the features and have them be recognizable (it's Good Omens fanart 😤)!! If I had made it any bigger, I would be working on it for ever, due to how much more foliage I would have to render.

If you want to do an illustration and you're not sure, just start at somewhere around 100x100 - 200x200 and go from there.

It's perfectly okay to crop your canvas, or scale it up, or crunch your art down at any point if you think you need a different size. I do it all the time! It only takes a bit of cleanup to get you back to where you were.

🔸Where To Post

Outside of just regular socials, Twitter, Tumblr, Deviantart, Instagram etc, there are a few places that lean more towards pixel art that you might not have heard of.

⭐ Lospec Lospec is a low-res focused art website. Some pieces get given a 'monthly masterpiece' award. Not incredibly active, but I believe there are more features being added often.

⭐⭐ Pixilart Pixilart is a very popular pixel art community, with an app tied to it. The community tends to lean on the young side, so this is a low-pressure place to post with an relaxed vibe.

⭐⭐ Pixeljoint Pixeljoint is one of the big, old-school pixel art websites. You can only upload your art unscaled (1x) because there is a built-in zoom viewer. It has a bit of a reputation for being elitist (back in the 00s it was), but in my experience it's not like that any more. This is a fine place for a pixel artist to post if they are really interested in learning, and the history. The Hall of Fame has some of the most famous / impressive pixel art pieces that paved the way for the work we are doing today.

⭐⭐⭐ Cafe Dot Cafe Dot is my art server so I'm a little biased here. 🍵 It was created during the recent social media turbulence. We wanted a place to post art with no algorithms, and no NFT or AI chuds. We have a heavy no-self-promotion rule, and are more interested in community than skill or exclusivity. The other thing is that we have some kind of verification system- you must apply to be a Creator before you can post in the Art feed, or use voice. This helps combat the people who just want to self-promo and dip, or cause trouble, as well as weed out AI/NFT people. Until then, you are still welcome to post in any of the threads or channels. There is a lot to do in Cafe Dot. I host events weekly, so check the threads!

⭐⭐/r/pixelart The pixel art subreddit is pretty active! I've also heard some of my friends found work through posting here, so it's worth a try if you're looking. However, it is still Reddit- so if you're sensitive to rude people, or criticism you didn't ask for, you may want to avoid this one. Lol

🔸 Where To Find Work

You need money? I got you! As someone who mostly gets scouted on social media, I can share a few tips with you:

Put your email / portfolio in your bio Recruiters don't have all that much time to find artists, make it as easy as possible for someone to find your important information!

Clean up your profile If your profile feed is all full of memes, most people will just tab out rather than sift through. Doesn't apply as much to Tumblr if you have an art tag people can look at.

Post regularly, and repost Activity beats everything in the social media game. It's like rolling the dice, and the more you post the more chances you have. You have to have no shame, it's all business baby

Outside of just posting regularly and hoping people reach out to you, it can be hard to know where to look. Here are a few places you can sign up to and post around on.

/r/INAT INAT (I Need A Team) is a subreddit for finding a team to work with. You can post your portfolio here, or browse for people who need artists.

/r/GameDevClassifieds Same as above, but specifically for game-related projects.

Remote Game Jobs / Work With Indies Like Indeed but for game jobs. Browse them often, or get email notifications.

VGen VGen is a website specifically for commissions. You need a code from another verified artist before you can upgrade your account and sell, so ask around on social media or ask your friends. Once your account is upgraded, you can make a 'menu' of services people can purchase, and they send you an offer which you are able to accept, decline, or counter.

The evil websites of doom: Fiverr and Upwork I don't recommend them!! They take a big cut of your profit, and the sites are teeming with NFT and AI people hoping to make a quick buck. The site is also extremely oversaturated and competitive, resulting in a race to the bottom (the cheapest, the fastest, doing the most for the least). Imagine the kind of clients who go to these websites, looking for the cheapest option. But if you're really desperate...

🔸 Community

I do really recommend getting involved in a community. Finding like-minded friends can help you stay motivated to keep drawing. One day, those friends you met when you were just starting out may become your peers in the industry. Making friends is a game changer!

Discord servers Nowadays, the forums of old are mostly abandoned, and people split off into many different servers. Cafe Dot, Pixel Art Discord (PAD), and if you can stomach scrolling past all the AI slop, you can browse Discord servers here.

Twitch Streams Twitch has kind of a bad reputation for being home to some of the more edgy gamers online, but the pixel art community is extremely welcoming and inclusive. Some of the people I met on Twitch are my friends to this day, and we've even worked together on different projects! Browse pixel art streams here, or follow some I recommend: NickWoz, JDZombi, CupOhJoe, GrayLure, LumpyTouch, FrankiePixelShow, MortMort, Sodor, NateyCakes, NyuraKim, ShinySeabass, I could go on for ever really... There are a lot of good eggs on Pixel Art Twitch.

🔸 Other Helpful Websites

Palettes Lospec has a huge collection of user-made palettes, for any artist who has trouble choosing their colours, or just wants to try something fun. Rejected Palettes is full of palettes that didn't quite make it onto Lospec, ran by people who believe there are no bad colours.

The Spriters Resource TSR is an incredible website where users can upload spritesheets and tilesets from games. You can browse for your favourite childhood game, and see how they made it! This website has helped me so much in understanding how game assets come together in a scene.

VGMaps Similar to the above, except there are entire maps laid out how they would be played. This is incredible if you have to do level design, or for mocking up a scene for fun.

Game UI Database Not pixel-art specific, but UI is a very challenging part of graphics, so this site can be a game-changer for finding good references!

Retronator A digital newspaper for pixel-art lovers! New game releases, tutorials, and artworks!

Itch.io A website where people can upload, games, assets, tools... An amazing hub for game devs and game fans alike. A few of my favourite tools: Tiled, PICO-8, Pixel Composer, Juice FX, Magic Pencil for Aseprite

🔸 The End?

This is just part 1 for now, so please drop me a follow to see any more guides I release in the future. I plan on doing some writeups on how I choose colours, how to practise, and more!

I'm not an expert by any means, but everything I did to get to where I am is outlined in this guide. Pixel art is my passion, my job and my hobby! I want pixel art to be recognized everywhere as an art-form, a medium of its own outside of game-art or computer graphics!

This guide took me a long time, and took a lot of research and experience. Consider following me or supporting me if you are feeling generous.

And good luck to all the fledgling pixel artists, I hope you'll continue and have fun. I hope my guide helped you, and don't hesitate to send me an ask if you have any questions! 💕

@scotchfairy

What software are you using?

I use IbisPaintX mobile on a Samsung Galaxy S8 (poor thing is so old but it still works well). It's available on Android, iOS, Mac, and PC.

I don't have experience with any other digital art software, but iirc I've heard it's similar to PaintTool SAI.

The free version works fine, the ads have gotten a little more aggressive over the years. There is a subscription available for additional features, but it's definitely not necessary lmao. I'm not familiar with it, but it recently received an animation update.

How to Find Safe PC Software Free Download

Using the operating system is impossible without installing additional programs that serve specific purposes. Of course, it is important for each user to get high-quality pc app with full functionality without annoying ads.

In the world of PC software, there are many options available. Some of these programs are free, while others require a subscription or license fee to use. However, some people are not willing to pay for software and instead seek out pirated copies of these programs. This practice is known as “cracking” and can pose a serious security risk for computer users. It can result in malware infections and other issues. In addition, it can lead to data theft and illegal activities.

There are several websites that offer cracked software downloads, but not all of them are safe. Some of them contain adware, spyware, and other malicious software. These sites can be difficult to find and often require multiple steps to access. Some of these sites also contain viruses that can damage a user’s computer. Others can steal personal information and sell it to Chinese websites. This is why it is important to choose a website with a good reputation and one that offers a variety of programs.

One of the best websites for downloading crack software is MajorGeeks. This site features a variety of software for Windows and other operating systems. It is an excellent source for finding high-quality software that is free from virus and other dangerous components. It is also easy to navigate and includes an active community. Another option is the Crackzoom site, which has a huge collection of cracked software. This site is not recommended for beginners, but it does have some useful programs that can be downloaded for free.

Other websites for downloading cracked software include Softpedia, Softonic, and Ninite. These websites are useful for managing the programs on a user’s operating system. These sites can be a convenient alternative to searching for individual applications and can save time. These websites also provide a comprehensive list of available programs and updates.

Another popular website for downloading free programs is Sharewareonsale. This website is based in the United States and offers top-rated programs for both Windows and Mac computers. It also has a section for mobile devices that is updated regularly. In addition, the site offers free iOS and Android applications.

If you are looking for a way to create high-quality graphics without spending money, consider using free design software. There are a number of options available to help you create stunning content for social media, business marketing, and much more. Some of these software programs offer templates that are easy for a novice to use, while others provide more sophisticated tools for experienced designers.

The most popular graphic design software is Adobe Photoshop, but it is not the only option. There are a number of alternatives that are free to use and feature flexible controls for creating a wide range of designs. These programs allow you to customize text and images, create layouts, and add animation to your content. They also come with a number of plugins to improve the appearance of your design.

Jenny Anxious (Loose Digital Line and Wash)

My first posted fanart, & my first artwork of a girl (at least, on my full-on art account)!

Actually, I sketched & painted it from last Tuesday to last Thursday. The rest was deciding what to type in my post🤓...& life😥.

I’ve been meaning to make a fuller drawing ever since last year, when I got into the show (Fun fact: I didn’t grow up with MLaaTR. Didn't, don't, and likely won't have cable🤷‍♀️). Personally, I like her self-conscious, slightly shy side.😊 I was really shy as a teenager and her hurt crying in Raggedy Android took me back to that time.😢

She’s one of the first girl characters that I find approachable & fun to draw: an expressive character, fun shape language, and lending herself well to great gestures.

Experience

Sketching so loosely like this was quick, fun, and freeing, but the painting took a while. Painting isn’t my strong suit, so I kept it as a simple complementary harmony (even the floor is a mix of red-orange, cyan, and black).

Behind-the-Scenes: Inspiration, Mindset, & A Self Critique

There were a couple of inspirations for this sketchier, line and wash style. Technique-wise I was inspired by the animation philosophy of Jim Tyer by having color hold the line drawings together. Art style-wise: I was inspired by the character concept art in the 1993 Neon Genesis Evangelion Proposal: watercolor/ink/gouache-like coloring, some with a single color around the character. (link if you’re curious: https://evangelion.fandom.com/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion_Proposal#Gallery)

Mindset-wise, I wanted to try to make myself keep moving forward. Once I moved forward, I would not go back to fiddle! From sketch/drawing to painting to even this post.

Now, self-critique: The coloring fortunately turned out fine, but the lines aren’t dark enough from a distance/at a smaller size, especially on the facial expression. I should try going back with 1) the same pencil brush but darkening up where needed [could be the quicker route, since no need to readjust to another brush. however, need to build up a bit more], 2) using a different, even darker brush near the end, whether Fresco’s Natural inker or Fine grain [no need to build up lines, but more of a brush behavior instead of a pencil behavior]. Another possibility: to try to keep my process quick, maybe I could try something like a Quentin Blake technique, with a loose sketch for laying out and free-flowing final lines. Maybe it will help hit 2 birds w one stone and help with my storyboarding drawing skills.🤔

Asphalt 8 APK for PC – Easy Install, Smooth Gameplay

If you’re a fan of high-octane racing games, then you’ve likely heard of Asphalt 8. Known for its stunning graphics, arcade-style gameplay, and intense multiplayer action, Asphalt 8 has become a favorite among mobile gamers worldwide. But what if you could enjoy all that excitement on a bigger screen with smoother controls? That’s where the asphalt8 apk for pc comes in. By installing the APK version on your computer, you unlock the potential for an enhanced, lag-free experience.

Why Choose Asphalt8 APK for PC Over the Mobile Version?

There are several compelling reasons to run asphalt8 apk for pc rather than sticking with the mobile version. The most obvious is the improved gameplay. A PC offers better hardware performance, meaning you can enjoy ultra-smooth frame rates, high-resolution graphics, and zero overheating issues.

Additionally, a larger screen and more precise controls (keyboard or gamepad) significantly boost your racing skills. Whether you're drifting through Tokyo or soaring through the Alps, the immersive experience on PC is far superior to that on a small phone screen.

Using the APK version also allows for greater flexibility, such as modding, advanced settings, or access to game files you typically can’t manipulate on a mobile device.

Understanding APK Files and How They Work on PCs

APK stands for Android Package Kit, the file format Android uses to distribute and install apps. While these are designed for mobile use, you can still run APK files on a PC using Android emulators.

no but fr this is actually so important. run Linux. jailbreak all of ur shit, esp. your phone and game consoles. learn how to use the network tab in your browser's devtools (inspect element) to get DRM free links to download music off sites like calm.com and brain.fm. discover the joys of hacking, not of breaking into someone else's computer to steal stuff but of popping the hood on your favorite software and your favorite gizmos and tinkering around and making them work the way *you* want them to.

i can't remember the last time I had to respect one of these popups or care that netflix didn't make this content available in my region, and this world could be yours too.

there are hiccups, don't get me wrong. open source software made by volunteers is almost never anywhere near as polished or feature rich as the software made by a company worth eight figures. it's like fan comics versus the actual TV shows they're based on. it's just not fair to compare them directly. (like with fan works, there are a few notable exceptions that are as good as and in some cases better than the proprietary offerings, notable examples being blender for 3D animation and Home Assistant for own-your-data smart home automation, but they're the exceptions, not the rule.) but like with fanworks the freedom you gain will be worth it.

your first time switching to Linux will be rocky. everything will mostly work but there'll be a few hiccups, like that one windows application needing some tinkering to get working right, or KDE not responding correctly 100% of the time when you plug in an external monitor, or your laptop not going to sleep or hibernating because something in the kernel is messed up. (it fixes itself if you reboot.) organicmaps for android will happily give you turn by turn driving directions for any map it has downloaded even if you're not connected to the internet, but don't expect it to take traffic into account. Mastodon's moderation tools pale in comparison to Twitter's or Threads'. Matrix as an end-to-end-encrypted Telegram/Discord replacement still has some kinks to work out. the LLMs you can run locally on your laptop aren't nearly as capable as ChatGPT or Google Bard. but they're pretty damn good all things considered, and they can do a few things the commercial offerings can't refuse to. and at the end of the day rougher edges are just the price we pay for using stuff we the community made ourselves instead of just buying whatever a big corporation made and hoping they had our best interests at heart. it's what we give up in exchange for knowing for a fact that our data is not being sold to anyone, in most cases not even leaving our devices, and that these services will never, ever die, even if the servers they're hosted on right now disappeared tomorrow.

i for one am happy to give up a little convenience in exchange for that security. shoot me an ask if you are too.
