Greets!

I've translated Fil Razorback's excellent Les Forges pixel art tutorials into English and posted them on my website:

http://opengameart.org/content/les-forges-pixel-art-course - http://opengameart.org/content/les-forges-pixel-art-course

The tutorials cover a number of topics, including:
 * Line art
 * Antialiasing
 * Light and shadow
 * Color Palettes
 * Textures (including hair and fur)
 * Map tiles (including how to make grass)

You can also read them at this link in the original French:

If you see any issues with my translation, please let me know!

Thanks,
Bart

Wonderful! Thank you :)
Perhaps you can add http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/ - GrafX2 to your translator's note for PA software. It's GPL and very cross-platform.

Any plans to translate the text in the images?

I saw there is another part where animations are discussed but is not translated. Maybe someone registered in open game art can do the translation:
