A visual learners/illiterate's guide to pixeling.

[xvillexvalox]

Well... I finally decided to do this, which i've been wanting to for a long time. And since I'm no good at line work and can't make my own pixel art, the next best thing, classic, old games. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here you'll see:

 

 

 

- types of grass

 

 

 

- brick-like walls

 

 

 

- clouds

 

 

 

- water

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also notice how only the 3rd game (tiny toons) used black outlines, and only on some items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ENJOY! :ohnoes:

I never used the word "tutorial" because I never planned on showing step and whatnot, the purpose of the zoom-ins is to show what different types of grass, water, clouds, and etc. you can make. Mostly this was made to show how to make different textures, in no way is this a complete pixeling guide.

First off, woah I haven't seen you around in a while. :lol:

 

 

 

I never called it tut. :roll:

 

 

 

Nor did I claim the pictures of the games as my own work.

 

 

 

If you're not satisfied and would rather have me post the names of the games I will :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT2:

 

 

 

Copyrights to games posted. All copyrights are over 11 years old :lol:

Eh. I might get around to makeing a new sig or maybe changing this one if I have the PSD.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and they're not completely random, as they do have a use to beggining pixelers.

To guide you need to guide. I assume that to teach you need mastery in the knowledge of what you are teaching. Here it just looks like you are going 'Here are a bunch of pictures, it's obvious how to replicate the style'. I think it would be better if you posted step-by-step picture of how you can get from a basic blank canvas to such textures as grass, and the other textures you zoomed in on.
