My First Attempts At Pixel Art

They’re probably bad compared to what you guys can do but whatever.
CC wanted!

the knight isn’t too bad actually.. Infact, I kinda like it =P

yeah nice beginners stuff :P although there’s some people who can do better i think you might catch on and get really good stuff :P
remember to never resize it it always looks really weird

the shading on the first is really odd but the knight is really well done

not bad… i like the knight

Work on reading some tutorials. U plan to do Isometric or realism? It’s a start, nonetheless.

ohh hey get Graphics Gale, its free and you can make pixel art easily
my first pixel art was my avatar haha

What’s the difference between the two?

Isometric (ignore the giant blank square)
Realism
RPG/game art

Basically iso is done from a set angle (26-30 degrees I think) and tends to have lots of architecture. “Realism” is basically painting or drawing as you would with pencils or paint brushes, except you use pixels.
Game art is art made for games. It can have sprites, backgrounds, tile sets, ect.

Good start! Although as nordor said you should probably never resize things. The buildings look good for a start, although you may be doing some pillow shading, which is a terrible thing.

The knight is actually really good. It looks more like something you would find standing in a castle, empty, rather than something that would be fighting on the battlefield.

The main thing when starting is tutorial Tutorial TUTORIAL! Tutorials are amazing.

As total said GraphicsGale is a great program for pixel art, though I have never tried Pro Motion.

Woah, big revive here.
Anyways nice to know my meh art inspires people. :’D

oops, :S didnt see it was a necro’s thread

well since this thread has been revived, I’ve been inspired to start pixeling again.
This piece isn’t really complex or anything, but it was more something to get away from pillow shading.

I like it. Pretty good for first time not pillow shading.

my first pixel art :D

I’m still making the rest of his ‘body’ for different angles, so i can make him a sprite :D :D :D

C&C please
