Hi! Love Your Pixel Art! What Programs Do You Use To Make It? Any Tips How To Start? Tysm!

Hi! Love your pixel art! What programs do you use to make it? Any tips how to start? Tysm!

thank you so much! i use aseprite, you can find it on their website here, and there’s also a steam version! its the best pixel art program hands down.

for starting tips, i would read this thread and study each bullet point extensively. pixel art is a very specific art medium that requires certain things in each piece and this thread goes over a lot of those things.

for starters, color limiting, ie; using a color palette with very few colors, is one of the biggest things a newbie should learn. with that i would also try to start out with smaller resolutions, no more than 150px at the widest/tallest.

Hi! I stumbled across your lil pixel possum and I love him!!! I'm a knitter, and pixel art happens to translate really well to sweater charts, so I wanted to ask if it would be okay if I knit the possum onto a sweater? No profit would be made of course, except for my enjoyment :D And please tell me if that isn't alright and I won't do it! Your art is super cool, thank you for sharing it!!

of course! knitter & pixel artist solidarity 4ever ❤️❤️

the only thing i ask is to see it! let me know if you need the original image if it helps you :)

(this goes for everyone else too, if you want to make any non-profit crafts from my art!)
