Hello and welcome to the the first level of the Pixel Course: the Fundamentals
Through this creature course, Tim Von Rueden takes a closer look at creating pixel art while in Photoshop CS5 using a Wacom Intuos4 tablet.
What you’ll learn in this course
This course is set to teach you the fundamentals of pixel art from learning the different terms to setting up Photoshop to work specifically for pixel art. We will go through the pixel specific terms such as anti-aliasing, dithering, pillow shading, and outlining, to help better understand pixel art. From there we will take a quick look at color and how to use techniques such as hue shifting to give your work a boost in value and saturation on such a small scale. For each of the objects we will be creating (rock, tree, character) I will take a classic and modern approach to show different ways of going about the many different styles of pixel art.

Thanks I think you just made pop my mind and I feel like a strange door opened in the back of my head.
Sometimes I got lost while doing pixel art on my own because I want to do everything at the same time but when I look at your chart I rethink.... "what was my step 1 and step 2 etc ?" that's a really good way of doing it and I feel like I'm not loosing my time working like this.
Thanks a lot
I'm definitely going to look back at this a lot.
Anyways Great Job with this!
And here's one example of what's clearly speedpaint

Great job! Don't be surprised if I start "faving" everything in your gallery.
