Hi Everyone, I am new to the forums and pixel art!

I love pixel art and I think it's very interesting, but I don't have much natural talent with art of any kind.
I started with pixel art a little while ago and I have learnt a lot, but I'm still a beginner.
I just quickly made a sprite of a chubby little fly. If you could give me some tips, and maybe some links to tutorials or some place where you learnt to do pixel art?



Thanks a lot!
lavago

I am moving your post to the WIP section.
In the meantime check out the n00btorial thread and cure's pixelart thread too.
 
First thing is first. Pixelart and pixelart files are always gif or png8 files only. Other output types destroys the pixels, k.

Ok thanks, sorry I put it in the wrong thread.

I think I did make it png.

I have looked at both of those tutorials!
They are great, but I still have a bit of trouble... any further help to improve my pixel art skill would be much appreciated!
