Pixel Art Tutorials


This is my series of tutorials that I made with the help of my Patrons, they are all 512x512 pixels and were primarily focussed on twitter but eventually became it’s own thing. All these tutorials are free, but if you want to support me, you can do it on Patreon or you can buy them in a nice .zip file on Itch.io.

Also, Subscribe to my newsletter! It’s free, and you’ll get direct updates in your inbox whenever there’s new content on my website.

If you want to Ctrl+F (Cmd+F in mac) to find something, I added some tags to the titles to help with that, I also added a ‘#’ symbol before each tag.

A quick note on this one, I don’t fully agree with the colors in this tutorial anymore. The important thing for a BG color to do is to fade to the sky color, which is often not dark.
