I guess it's time to revive pixel art general. Sharing few resources which have been shared in the past
Learning Resource
Youtube guide by Adam C younis:
An interesting read on pixel arts http://www.yarrninja.com/pixeltutorial/index.html
Tools for pixel art,
Aseprite https://www.aseprite.org/
Pyxel Edit [Blocked URL: https://pyxeledit.com/about.php]
I have personally used aseprite, if you are looking to buy - get it from steam for around 500.
You can also compile from source code which can be found here https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite.git
We will add more to it as we go.
Also some forums which can be helpful are
[Blocked URL: https://pixeljoint.com/forum]/
r/pixelart community
Again add if you have your own suggestions since we are getting started, again.

From today onwards, i will be trying to invest atleast 30 mins per day to pixel art and going through the videos of adam younis and working on my own.
Let's see. Place for learning and showcasing your work.

Based on what i have read and practiced so far, i can say

this is really good starting - summary tutorial
>https://makegames.tumblr.com/post/42648699708/pixel-art-tutorial
You can try this one though most of the things are repeated - if you have read previous one then it's alright to ignore this one.
>https://michafrar.gumroad.com/l/pixel-logic
He has provided an e-book, you can get it for 5$ usd or something or even from other online sources. It's really good if you want to dig deeper.
These three resources should be enough to get anyone started, rest what matters is drawing and practice.

Damn. I meant for it to be a crate. I see how you might think that, though. Maybe I should bump up the contrast between the front and top.
Here it is in a little mockup scene.
> lot of difficulties
Well, post your work-in-progress and let others help you out. No need to struggle alone.
Maybe consider drawing small things, like just a face instead of a whole person, so you can get more done in the same amount of time to build momentum

Mb, yeah it was kinda issue of perspective at my end tbh. It felt like i was looking 90 degree into the two chests on top of each other one being smaller than the other. Though now it makes sense and i can decipher.
>pic related
kino and yeah very clear.
>try drawing small things
yeah that's what i have been doing mostly, will share maybe by tomm if i get the chance sirs.
Working on few of the arts - one related to update will post it here first.

Thanks sir, took me like 4 to 5 days.
Everything drawn by hand.
---
picrel 1: AI generated pixel art that I used my new tool to "fix"
picrel 2: Tried to draw a slightly different house that would "fit" into the world.
picrel 3: A maze, drawn entirely by hand, for now.
I made a program to automate making such mazes, maybe I will think about tiling logic again and automate the sprite/tiles and collision system to be generated with the maze too.

interesting, i was just trying to randomly draw to learn a bit on line art. Now i feel i can do much better atleast against jaggies and color outline. Maybe some day.
On the other hand, wanted to draw ashvattha tree but was failing and in general i used to have difficulty in finding singling out what details to keep and what to remove when drawing pixel art. Finally realized i could do it.
Pic related, it's not done yet.

playing around with anti aliasing - i don't think it's good. though i like how with thick shade we can be more expressive with mouths.
sharing it until next iteration.
i made two mistakes here. attempted aa without proper colored outline. i failed at colored outline due to lack of proper shades.

I am seeing some and that is what I use as my source material for image generation. The image I find have great art but the ratio is always a little off and cleaning background makes the art messy. It will be done eventually sirs, and would likely turn better than my Vayu Deva edit.
