Well, yes, there's potentially hundreds of tutorials you could write. Are there supposed to be links to any of these? It's spelt "knowledge" btw, as in "to know". |

I don't think you should even bother writting them. By the looks of it I don't think you understand any of the techniques you're trying to teach people. You're just going to end up misleading all of them. -------------

@souly, im sorry that you think that but i know what dithering is, i know what anti-aliasing is. I know how people make line art, and i know how to get pallettes. i may need a little help with the lighsource, but thats it. and thats why i made this topic. so people can help me and tell me if there are any i missed.
this is to get uber n00bs on their feet and on their way towards being a great artist.
if you have any problems with my art, then comment on it, dont just go to a random post and tell me i suck and know nothing.
as for MSpaint ive been using it for over 5 years and im an expert.

first - Mspaint is a simple program and doesnt need that much time to be explained, second - just using something for a long time doesnt mean you're an expert on it. i've been using it for 3 years and achieve better results then you.
you're pixel work isnt really bad or anything, but i don't think you are quite at the level to make tutorials to train other people. I say make one tutorial, preferably on techniques so we can see how much of a grip you have on them, and we can help you with it ------------- ▄▄█ ▄▄█ ▄█▄ ▄█▄ |

I would think the widely known "So you want to be a Pixel Artist?" would be already a good tutorial for the beginner pixel artist. As far as line art techniques... I really feel like part of that is based on traditional art experience which involves practice. I'm not saying you shouldn't make tutorials, make them if you really want to. But I think it would better your pixel art experience to spend more time perfecting your own techniques than making tutorials. ------------- |

You could add "how to make transparent backgrounds" to your tutorial,
and "color conservation" but that would go in advanced techniques I
guess. ------------- |

Most pixel artists try and keep their color count LOW. Thus by using color conservation they can minimize their pallet properly. -------------
