Drawing Pixel Art: Programmer vs Artist

In this video, my sister and I try a pixel art challenge! She's an artist and I'm a programmer so we were curious about our different approaches to pixel art. It was mostly just for fun though! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it :)

Hey friends~ Long time no see! Was hoping to get this video out sooner but my job has kept me busy the past few weeks. Anywho, hope you enjoy this video as much as we had fun making it! We'll be back with our next devlog soon :)

Me being both programmer and artist: *confused screaming*

[ReeceGeofroy]

This is very creative! Really enjoyed seeing the different themes and what you guys came up with. Great work

[Tantandev]

Wait you mean there is more than drawing rectangles?

Nice challenge! I especially like Manisha's round 1 artwork and Nadisha's round 2 artwork (Such a cool vibe)!
Also, I think I found true love when I saw the color palette for Mountain & Destiny

Super cool contest!! You both did a great job~ This would be a cool twitter challenge contest. Videos like this are fun :D I didn't learn pixel art until I started making games a year ago, it is a unique art form XD.

[JuulasGames]

Loved this challenge! I just started diving into pixel art recently too, it’s super hard haha! Very inspiring to see both of your different takes on the themes :)

With pixel art I do like the less is more look. But your sisters second piece was amazing

[ndev]

Found you from Miziziziz's video, great job with this! I'm trying to improve my art, but it's still trash as you can see from my latest video XD

[MarxyBasement]

I should amp up my video idea game too.. i guess i have a good mentor to look up to

[SnutiHQ]

Cool challenge! That was some smashing pixel art! 🌈😍

[hudsonmiears]

That's such a fun challenge! Really enjoyed the art from both of you

[TylerPotts]

Haha, I loved it. Both of your art were cool! Really well made video! :)

[AmalieKae]

This was so much fun! You girls are always a blast! : )

[Skeffles]

This looks like a great way to practice your pixel art skills. Very well done to both of you.

[dinoelef]

Well done both of you are really talented!

[CodemasterJamal]

I believe your sister is a great artist. Tell her, if she wants more clarity in her pixel art, trying using less anti-aliasing. Her artwork still looks superb.

*Join us, the pixels call you both*

But hey this is really neat! I absolutely love Nadisha's round 2 art, stunning!

[elocnat]

Programmers aren't supposed to be that good at art! Great video to see the two approaches given the same constraints but having different backgrounds.

This is really cute and inspiring :') As a girl looking to learn how to make games, I finally found female game devs to look up to!!!
