Thank you, I've been looking for a good tutorials on Pixel art, and your's seems to be very easy and understandable
This is super handy for other stuff as well like I wanted to use pixel art with regular non-pixelated lineart and this actually makes that possible
This was an amazing, straightforward, understandable video. Keep up the good work!
Glad you liked it!
thank you!! ive been looking for a good video to make pixel art and all of them have been super unhelpful but yours really really helps!!!
This illustrator method is still good for final designs. I found working in photoshop first (with the preserved hard edges turned on) really allows for one to experiment with early initial concept designs as it is a faster work flow. In the end, I loaded that PS document into illustrator get the final vectors. Thank you very much for the tutorial.
No problem, everyone's got their own workflow :)
Awesome, thank you!! Had to convert a bunch of assets to 8-bit style for a marketing event. Made it so easy!
I just needed to align the image with the center of the artboard so thank you for teaching it at the start
Dude, I didn't knew I had to do pixel art until this morning and your video saved me a day of searching, you went straight to the point thank you so much!
Straight to the point or straight to the pixel? ;P
*slow clap*
@@KellySaya1 Well said, I nod and clap at you 👏
Thanks for making such a clear tutorial! Really helps out
@30 Sec. Not entirely true, You can scale Pixel art in Raster based applications like PS. If you tell Photoshop to scale using Nearest Neighbor (Preserve Hard Edges) it will not be anti-aliased, and you will get crisp edged Pixel art even if you scale it up exponentially.
This is true! Thanks for sharing.
Also, in game, you can tell to the graphics engine (opengl, directx) to use nearest pixel algorithm for magnification. And you get perfect result at any resolution
what do you think , what is better to make pixel art, for some short animations illustaotor or Photoshop ?
thank you! You just saved my life!
@Ragnarok thanks :) yeah it's better just to use PS , I also tried some free program for making pixel art and it also was quite nice :)
I am looking at 3D printing custom pixel art and your tutorial has made the creation of the art so clear, no I just need to do it thanks!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! The style is super easy and clean. Super fun to start working this way.
Happy to help.
the amount of times I come back to this video - live saver.
short and full of value! great video.
Dear TipTut, I was following the tutorial and it worked perfectly.
Everything came to a crawl, when I started having a lot of element, like grass tiles, wall tiles etc, stacked to build a scene.
can you please share how would you take the elements and combine them (in a different tool perhaps) into a game enviroment mockup,
without slowing down the computer so much?
Thank you!
Hey, this was really nice.
I thought it'd be more complicated.
Good video!
No problem, glad you found it useful!
Thank you so much for this amazing video !
Really good tutorial :D! made my first 8 bit art piece! Thanks a lot :D
Thank you, It will help a lot in my current work.
Thank you! this is exactly what I needed and now I can do more :)
我正在找如何製作Pixel Art的影片 想不到可以用AI製作 比起PSｅ更不會有轉換大小問題！教得很詳細！太棒了很感謝您提供如此優質的影片！
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing! You mentioned something in the video about making the individual pixels smaller.. Was wondering how to do that? Thanks!
Very well explained! Thank you so much!!! 🤗👍
Hi! The vid was really helpful, thanks! But I found a problem: When I scale the art that I made, the pixels mess up, it doesn't keep its solid form.
Thank you, TipTup. I am glad I found this one. ❤
You're welcome!
this was so helpfull and to the point! thank you very much!!!!
Wonderful tutorial, lots of tips, thank you!
One little thing to point out is about the number of dividers, if you put 50 dividers, that will give you 51 boxes, instead of 50, so each pixel box is not 10, it would be slightly smaller.
Thanks for the info!
This tutorial was just what I needed
This was awesome - Thank-you!
omg thank you that was probably the most helpful tutorial TwT
after im done with my character when i export it to photoshop theres gaps between each pixel. any solution?
These are great! Subscribed ;)
great video :) concise and very helpful
Useful video.Thankyou. I want to know if there is an option to draw with Pen tool in order to bring perfect shape and convert that to pixels which exactly matches with the grid box. Since drawing with mouse makes it difficult to bring the perfect shape with hand drawing for Textile motifs (being a textile designer) with more intricate curves, if there is an alternative option to draw with guidance of grid box, it will be helpful. Plz explain me if there is such an option.
How do you reduce it to exact pixel art size afterwards? rescale it to 0.1? (since we used 50 instead of 500)
i was looking for this!!! thanks you earn a new viewer
Welcome!
really nice tut!
Thank you! This was amazing way to make pixel things :) this was save my life
Glad it helped!
great very simple video nice work thank you
I love your tutorials!
Thanks! That means so much :)
That is a really great tutorial! Thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
Heya, cool tutorial - I have a question tho. So I have created several artboards to create several pixelarts and whenever i use the magic wand, all grids disappear from all artboards. Is there a way to prevent that since I want to keep some artboards with grids to keep working on those...
do you know if theres a way to get illustrator to use more memory or cpu/gpu power? every time i divide in the pathfinder the program crashes. is this method only good for tiny pixel art files?
i can't take off the grid! and the panel that says "pathfinder" :(
I have a question. When I’m creating my character or whatever, what if I accidentally don’t put enough squares for the pixels midway through making the character? This just happened to me now and I only made half of my character and I can’t add anymore cuz I didn’t make the grid big enough. Please please answer. This took me 20 minutes and I don’t want to restart. Plz
thanks this was really helpful!
So useful! Thank you!
Yes, in Photoshop is possible, but if you like work with vector for your design it's perfect! Thank you
so helpful and so clear！
Thank you so much!
thank you! worked like a charm :)))
so helpful! i found that this is easier than using photoshop. thank you for this tutorial
Happy to help.
Hello,
I would like to know if there is a particular setting to make pixel arts in 8bits / 16 bits / 32 bits ?
Thank you
thank you so much, i wa struggling with removing the grid and I was just about to give up
thank you
Thank you! Super useful. I managed to make a pixel portrait of myself.
Awesome!
Thank you! This is genius!
Can i like box select and copy part of the grid that i've coloured and paste it somewhere else in the grid ? If I can, could you explain to me to ? I'm a complete beginner btw
Thanks for such an informative tutorial!
You're welcome!
How come there are tiny gaps in the picture where the grid was when I export it
You helped me a lot dude, Thank you!
Happy to help!
really helpful!! thanks!!
Is there a way to export them into one png as frames?
If you're going to be working with individual pixels, I can't really see the advantage of choosing Illustrator over Photoshop.
Was hoping for some insight on how to use the full power of vector art (e.g. curves, objects), whilst keeping everything neat and tidy on the pixel level, automagically. Anyone got pointers on this?
Thank you this helped me out a lot!
Happy to help!
I wanted to get rid of that stubborn grid after finishing the pixel art, but didn't find any site that deals with this issue. Thanks a lot, you saved my design (although I had to set the speed to 0.5 to be able to follow your speech)! :)
Happy to help!
This was an amazing, thank you!!
You're so welcome!
LOVE IT! THANKS! :D
Amazing tutorial! Anyone else having trouble with switching colors? When I switch a color it recolors the pixels I have already put down. Thank you!
Thanks, it was super helpful 👍
Glad it helped!
Does Illustrator have the nearest neighbour feature to make transforms better for animations?
great! Thank you so much. After magic wand I have some white lines in my picture. In your picture the colour is solid and there're not white lines between some colours. What's my problem?
Same..i have some white lines changing if i zoom in and out..have you found what is the problem, and solution perhaps?
cool tutorial!
I can not use the bucket to color the squares ... what did I do wrong?
Thank you for this video
Really thank you!
Can someone help me.. What would i do if i want to keep the black square inside my drawing? Thankss
This is useful if you want to use .svg pixel art in web development.
Thank you. 🙏🏻
short. precise. to the point. clear. simple. easy.
need i say more :)
Thanks!
Thank you very much, I am a graphic designer. Definitely helped me with a job. :)
Awesome!
Can we use shapes with this method or just brush?
how to select user define from swatch libraries
OMG. THANK YOU! ♥
Do you have any tips for if you have done the steps to save your pixel art, but you come back to it later and want to continue working on it? How do you get it back into the grid?
Also, how can I copy and paste things from my pixel art?
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I can now finish my pixel cat :D "jumping jiminy jesus" XD
Happy to help!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! really helps me a lot!
Super tutorial, thank you!! I am drawing all day meheh
Have fun!
Within the swatches panel you've selected, you can cycle through colors in the Live Paint tool with the left and right arrow keys. You're welcome.
Thanks mate, keep it going!
Thanks, will do!
i always thought pixel art would be difficult. i just never looked into it i guess 😂 thank you so much!
No problem!!
Thank you
When I try to color, it says “select the collection of paths that make up the artwork you want to color. Then click with the live paint bucket to make a live paint group.” ????
EDIT: nvm
hey how do you fix that?
Great tutorial so far i have found in CZcams.........
Glad it was helpful!
After creating my pixel art I'm having trouble separating from the grid, I ungrouped it first, then expanded it, then went to pathfinder and divided it and nothing happened! if I move the grid the pixel drawin comes dragged with it :( any tips? anyone?
Same:(
thank you so much!!!
The horizontal and vertical dividers need to be 1 less than what you have in width and height.
Example:
width and height: 10x10 pixeles
dividers: 9x9
If you introduce 10x10 dividers you will get 11x11 squares.
Hope that helps.
This is so easy! thank you
No problem 😊
Thanks so much
With resolution of 1280x720 what parameters can I use?
