Great video Saul! Also I'd like to point out again that CONSISTENCY IS KEY. Consistency is what makes an artstyle, each one of those principles Saul mentioned CAN be used, but doesn't have to (like he mentioned with the outlines, you can use them, or you don't have to). Consistency is why the piece at 12:36 works well, the artist "broke a rule" of orphan pixels, but he broke it everywhere, thus creating an interesting style!

Wow! I've watched a couple pixel art tutorials with high production value that were boring and unhelpful for beginners. They just lay out 'rules' without exploring how the art changes with them. Yours has to be the best I've seen in terms of pacing, information, exploring the topic, presentation style... this is absolutely phenomenal! Great job!

I draw traditionally and digitally and was always interested in pixel art, this helps me to demystify it a bit. And it's a great tutorial for art fundamentals too. A lot of stuff in the video can totally be used for drawing in general.

Thank you so much for this. I've just started yesterday, and after half a day I managed to draw a shovel, a lantern, and a heart (all 16x16) that I am satisfied with. There is so much to learn and it is overwhelming, but like you said, it's a journey, and I got into pixel art because I feel I have more control over what I want to show than other forms of art (which are also overwhelming). Plus, pixels are life! Thank you so much for the info and looking forward to my journey! Subbed and will be watching your videos :)

This is such a good tutorial. There are way too many tutorials where someone tries to explain the one way they create art while showing bad examples of how NOT to do something and more often than not I even prefer the bad example. This often discourages me, making me believe that my taste is just so bad that I'll never be able to create something others like. You only told us what effects different methods have and how it can be bad if its done unintentionally, while showing examples of how to utilizing it to make incredible art. This is such a positive approach and I love it.

Yeah I try to keep an open mind with techniques. I’ve seen some incredible art which uses what some may consider bad, and I think by understanding the effect these techniques have allows you to use them effectively.

When I make pixel art, I usually use a desaturated pallet for most things, but for glowing things or places of interest, I use a higher saturated pallet. It really helps make certain places of the art pop and give the illusion of glowing or it can make places catch your eyes.
