Hello i'm newbie to pixel art and all i've only made so far is a little apple which took me like 3 hours to make! Just from that experience i find pixel art hard,pretty frustrating and not fun! So... i'd like to know what were your first feelings about pixel art/your first pixel art! To see if i'm the only one that feels like that! |

You're not alone. Frustration and disappointment is something that many artists go through in various degrees. For some it only lasts a day or two, for others... years. Sadly there's no magical advice I can give you. All I can tell you is to seek the comfort and inspiration of your fellow artists. Sometimes lightning will strike and the creativity will flow on it's own without you having to force it out. :) -------------  "pwnage comes with patience, practice and planning." ~ Jalonso

I was not being mean or sarcastic. Pixelart requires patience, dedication, technique and all that stuff which you can teach yourself and develop over time. Through it all, it must be a fun thing to do. ------------- |

Its not so fun when you compare your work to someone's else and see that's yours is bad and that gets your hopes down thinking what makes that person better than me! =/ |

Yeah, don't do that. Most people would stop pixeling outright if they compared their work to Fool. XD Just do what I do, baby steps. Pixel something crappy today, pixel something less crappier tomorrow. Slow and steady. :) ------------- "pwnage comes with patience, practice and planning." ~ Jalonso

Patience is more than just for pixel art, pretty much everything in life is a game of chess. For me patience isn't a problem, I have it in spades, for me the problem is staying in a happy mood long enough to exercise that patience. Once I set my mind to something there's no stopping me, I just have to start in the first place. XD ------------- "pwnage comes with patience, practice and planning." ~ Jalonso
