RE: New Pixel Art! The "SteemRoller!"
Yo you da man son! Sorry excuse my gangsta talk, great job!! I'm starting to like pixel art a lot, not nearly as good as you but it's a learning process! Plus I'm pixeling from my phone as of now with a styless pen. May I ask what software are you using for these creations? There's a lot of free software out for this. Not sure what's better then the others. Keep up the good work, Steem on!
Thanks for your kind support!
There are definitely a lot of free pixel software options, I use photoshop, which I think is a $10/mo. subscription. To be honest the two pixel arts you saw this week are my only serious attempts. I tend to do more with vector art like your logos or diagrams.
I don't know your situation but if possible I'd get a wacom drawing pad for your home pc. So much more control - and less eye/neck strain, which can really add up.
Above and beyond that, I should probably upload some tips I'm learning along the way.
I'd check this guy out as well. I watched a few videos before I got started.
Thanks for all your insight, greatly appreciated. I used to have a Wacom tablet few years ago, it was a lot of fun paired up to the Mac I had at the time. I saved the video for future reference. Things are tough at the moment, between my car and rent, and my pc breaking few weeks ago, but I'm trying hard to get a pc I can either draw right on or pair a Wacom to it. Hopefully soon things get going again. All the pixel art you see on my blog is made right from my phone using a styless. It's called pixely for Android. It's pretty powerful for an android app. The dev worked very hard on it. Check it out if you ever wanted to do anything on the go. Thanks again, looking forward to seeing more work!
