Pixel portrait comissions open!

Hey everyone, just passing by to let you know that I’m making pixel portraits again! If you’re interested, take a look at my page: http://illugion.tumblr.com/comissions

Hi there :) Really love your style! I have a question: Can you draw in normal style (Digital Art or traditional)? And if not, how did you learn to pixel art? Any tips or video guides for this? :)

Hey, thank you! I do draw in non-pixelart ways, digital and traditional. There are loads of tutorials you can follow to learn specifics but the best tip that I can give you is basically try and make as much pixelart as possible. Find references in games you like and try to replicate. Participate in @dailypixeldailies and ask for feedback. The best way to learn is by doing it.PS: Sorry for taking so long to answer

Aaaa your pixels are gorgeous! Do you have a set palette or do you do your colors from scratch? ^^

It really depends, when I’m working on fanarts I try to pick some colors from the original but ultimately I end up changing them on the go. For my own work I start with one of aseprite’s pallettes and change it from there. Haven’t made a custom pallette yet though, this is one of the things that I wanna make soon :)
