HEy, I really admire your style of pixel art. I'm learning to draw pixel art on MS paint (but none is on my DA so don't go there unless you want to see old crap >.<;) and I was wondering, how did you learn to use it? Any tips or tutorials? Usually when I ask things like this people just shove tutorials in my mouth and it's a bit hard to learn ^^; but anyway, I love your art wyshelexia, please keep making those lovely commissions!
:iconwyshlexia:
Thank you so much!

Ah the joys of MS paint. XD I'm not sure how well you know the program, but you really need to learn all the little tips and trips that are nearly impossible to know without being told. (Just Google it and something will pop-up)

I personally learned pixel art from looking at other people's art. Seriously, just pick a piece you like in zoom in all the way. Then just observe where they put the shading and where which color goes where ect. Then just play around and figure out what looks best with your art.

Pixeljoint and DA are good sources for examples. If I want to draw something I'm not used to then I usually spend a good fifteen-thirty minutes looking-up other artist’s interpretations of it.

I haven't really seen many fantastic pixel tutorials and I've been using the same ones as recommendations for years now. X3 However [link] is a great source for MS paint art. (Gosh, it's from '06... I need to update my resources pool)

Feel free to ask any questions, I know I can be confusing and long winded at times. ^__^

You're welcome.

Very awesome, I loved the guide ^.^ Heaps of people have told me just to look and practice, by taking in other people's styles. They always make me jelous ofcourse! Didn't know about the grid either, that will be good to use later. Thankyou, this was really nice of you to help, and I will be popping in to ask more questions every now and then
