Any good resources for learning pixel art?

[tejas106]

I'm a high school graphic design student and I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I'm home and have more time to work to try to learn pixel art. I'm proficient in Illustrator and I know how to make pixel designs but I usually have a hard time getting creative ideas or turning my creative ideas into a finished product. Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to, once I'm good at it, try making my graphic design teacher into pixel art and I also have an idea for an animation that I want to do down the line as well. I dont know if theres another sub I can ask this in, but if you have anything, it would be greatly appreciated.

Like I said, I'm not very good at turning my ideas into finished products so help in that regard would be amazing. Thanks!

P.S. if illustrator isnt the best program for this, then suggestions are appreciated. I'm good with most of the Adobe suite, if that helps.

Have you joined any pixel art specific communities? That's a good place to start. Then find the program you'll be most comfortable with and find tutorials specific to that particular program.

• YouTube Channels: Check out AdamCYounis, Pixel Pete, or Brandon James Greer for tutorials and tips.
• Software: While Illustrator works, Aseprite is a popular free option specifically for pixel art.
