- It's fun to design clothing.
- Spirals always look awesome
- Except in pixel art, where they become increasingly hard to pull off the smaller you go
- Conservation of colors is a good practice to get into
- Enjoy what you're doing. If you enjoy something, doing it won't be a chore, and you'll get better.
- Practice will never make perfect, but it will always make better.
- Every once in awhile, you've got to force yourself to do something you're uncomfortable with.
- Sometimes you'll come back to something you weren't good at a long time ago, and gave up on, only to find that you've improved a lot more than you expected.
- There will always be someone better than you, and you'll always be better than someone else.
- It's good to take in other styles, but bad to copy them directly.
- Every piece of original art, from doodle to masterpiece, is a step towards finding your own style.
- When I started out drawing, I was worried I didn't have one. I'm wouldn't be able to say that anymore.
- You won't always end up excelling where you expected to, but you'll probably end up excelling somewhere.
- When I started out, I wanted to be one of those really good digital painters. I didn't know pixel art exists. Still shooting for excellence in both, sometime in the far future
So yeah, felt like writing something a bit more inspiration than usual? I think Flashy's music has gotten me in a good mood. Go check it out.








if you had the time to teach me how i would greatly appreciate it
like what program + tutorials?
I use Paintshop Pro 7 for all my pixel art, but the tools I use are the same ones that you find in paint. A 1-pixel width brush, the fill tool, and the selection tool. The only advantage that PSP7 offers me is the ability to zoom in really close.
I did some sort of rudimentary tutorial on a website that I made last year for a class. [link]
There are links to two other tutorials from other artists online. Hope they help, but like I said it mostly comes down to practicing.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
I use the Report Deviation button. Ha ha.
