Note: This tutorial was created in 2007 for my personal website. Some small tweaks have been made since then, but nothing too significant. In this 10-step tutorial, I’ll teach you how to create a “sprite”, which is a stand-alone two-dimensional character or object. The term comes from video games, of course.
Creating pixel art is a skill I picked up because I needed graphics for my games. After a lot of practice, I became kinda handy with it, and started to see it more as actual art rather than just a tool. These days, pixel art is quite popular in game development and illustration.
This pixel tutorial was created many years ago to teach people the basic concepts behind pixel art, but I’ve streamlined it a lot since its first incarnation. There are other pixel tutorials around, but I find them to be overly-complicated and too wordy. Pixel art is not a science. You should never have to calculate a vector when doing pixel art.

I kind of like how this turned out, it's actually better than I expected

Dearest Kisu, the characters you draw are always full of like and dynamic! Do you have any tips to draw more dynamic characters/poses ? I love your art so much, you're such an inspiration to me
1. The action line:
It’s a line that you use when you create the posing that will help you translate a strenght/ an intention and give “a direction” to the body.
2. Perspective
It can help making a posing more dynamic if you vary angles, perspective and directions
3. Don’t be shy, exaggerate!
That’s how you really can translate mouvements through drawings!
4. Try to avoid “mirrorl” stuff.
It works very well when you want to do artistic stuff (like tarot card aesthetics) but not so much when you want it to look lively.
(Making hair and clothes flow help a lot too hahaha)
5. Try to do “one stroke” line so it doesn’t “break” the mouvement

So I went to Paris a couple of weeks ago to lecture at the Gobelins school. Great animation school, super talented kids! This is the animation demo I did for the class.
Dr. King Schultz is a new favorite character of mine. He was easily my favorite from “Django Unchained.”
