Just A Quick Tip To Artists

Just a quick tip to artists

If you’re an artist who likes to work really close, (like me), do yourself a favor and put up two views. You can do this by clicking View–> New on your toolbar.

There’s nothing worse than finally zooming out and realizing what you were doing was very wrong. This saved me a lot of grief tbh. I’m sure everyone knows this already but ._.;; I arrived quite late to that party.

Do you have any tips for aspiring artists? :0

just draw a lot and draw the things you love. make sure you enjoy drawing, art is not something that should stress you or make you feel like you’re not good enough. try to learn from other artists as much as you can, but don’t compare yourself to them. In every art piece that you like, try to find what it is that you like about it, and what you can learn from it. ♥ and don’t give up if you feel like your art is being ignored, getting people to see your work takes a lot of time. make the art that only you can make! and good luck!

Rocks

Ah, don’t you love them, rocks. So fun to animate too.

If you’re into drawing pixel art rocks, boy does Patreon got you covered.

The above was a joke posted by Pedro ‘Saint11’ Medeiros (on Tumblr as the game dev team @studiominiboss) before releasing his real rock formations tutorial.

Pedro’s is probably the #1 Patreon page to follow and support if you’re into condensed tutorials about pixel art. Even though they seem on the surface as being about different concrete things to draw, they hold an even stronger underlying narrative about pixel art style.

Nauris Amatnieks a.k.a. @namatnieks​ is a newcomer on Patreon and also has some hard knowledge to share with you. His tutorials stand out by also showing weaker ways of completing each step, things you’re usually looking to avoid.

Finally, a fellow Deviant who I’ve been following for a long time, Kat ‘RHLPixels’, completes the current rock trend with her newest tutorial. In good old DeviantArt fashion, the format is a long image instead of the eye-catching GIFs popularized by Pedro. There’s plenty of more of these old-shool long-reads in her DeviantArt album Palettes and Tutorials.
