I Started Playing Fom Recently. Compiled Some Sketches Of My Adventures I Posted On Twt O/

I’m trying to get into pixel art without watching a bunch of tutorials first (they exhaust me and then demotivate me so then I never want to make art again). Anyways, I was wondering if you’d mind sharing some of your earliest works? You are an inspiration to me, but I know I have a ways to go before my very extremely amateur art is anything like your art is now. Thank you :) and have a wonderful day!

I'm glad you're starting out doing pixel art, and that's awesome! I've been in the exact same position as you are in right now, and I'll give one of my Mak Insights™️for this (lengthy ass read). I started doing pixel art around the summer of 2020, and it's been more than four years. I've started basically just like anyone! I had basic knowledge of art, composition, ideas for color, and simple forms. As you might notice, my early works don't really have much detail; it's more on silhouettes because I don't know how basic 3D forms work at the time! And usually I would stick to one color scheme—simple reds, subtle blues, etc. I had a really simple style back then, but I was alright with what I got going.

For most artists, you'd go through learning the concepts, ideas, techniques and styles. I've went through the 'YouTube Tutorial' phase and it's been head scratcher; still kinda is. You learn alot, but sometimes at the same time, nothing at all? I've went through bouts of doubt with my art, exhaustion from trying to do something different, then beating myself up for not getting it right. Only recently have I actually found some peace with where I am in my art life right now. But for now, take your steps at your own pace; go through the process of spending time, learning stuff, experimenting styles, having fun, getting stressed, being bored, and reimagining yourself through your art—and as you're chasing your peak, you realize that it's already reached you, and you're the best artist you can be at that very moment. And I hope this helps <3

I had this vivid mental image of a moldy Miku and I could've sworn you drew it! Imagine my surprise when all I found was Miku mitosis. I thought for sure you drew her with mold spores all over :(

I haven't but now I think I have to... Miku must be hit with the Mold beam™

Here is your daily moo deng to brighten your day

Your art is breathtaking and gorgeous. I can’t stop looking at the movement and the vibrant colours and how it has texture like you can see paint applied with a knife. I just… oh my god 😭.

How did you develop your style?

It's all mainly just me going through the four years of doing art; making pieces, adding new techniques/styles that my goofy head likes and changing up some of the things that I'd rather move on from.

I'd describe my art nowadays as a mix of other people's styles, something that I wholeheartedly refer to as 'stealing' because it's funny. The impressionistic nature of the style comes from Erin Hanson (first image), mixed with the thick painterly textures of Anastasia Trusova (second image), and one of the first main inspirations for doing pixelart landscapes, @8pxl (third image).

This serves as the base for all my art lately, and it's just been a style that I'm happy to call mine, while also paying some tribute and homage to my inspirations. I'm continuing on changing some stuff and experimenting, trying out new things with my art; further refining it into something that I'm happy other people can find inspiration from, as I did with others that came before me <3
