Youtube – 3 PixelArt Techniques/Common Mistakes (Doubles, Jaggies & Outline) (Tutorial for Beginners)

By: MortMort

Pixel art is one of my go-to’s when I want to do a bit of 2D art for game projects I’m working on, so this video I came across seemed helpful.

This tutorial outlines a few common mistakes people make when doing simple pixel art and how to touch them up to make them look a lot nicer. A lot of it is focused on issues when making curves that either lead to weird patterns or inconsistencies. The end goes over proper outlining for sprites and how to use your outlines to emphasize certain features, like points/sharp ends.
