This feels like a motivational speech more than a tutorial

[whiderboss]

I always find art being a very important part of the game in the first stages, and as i often have no fun at all and suck at making art it becomes a huge barrier which slows down the development or in even worse cases, stops it.

[malekelsady]

For some reason I can never start making a game unless I made art for it. I just hate seeing simple blocks moving around in a game prototype

[apenasumrabisco]

Dude, you're awesome, I spent over a month to identify with what kind of art I should follow and improve, I love pixel art, but I think very little to expose my creativity, so I make my characters in the pixel art style but they seem to be drafts, and that's what I'm going to do with my first game. Thanks, you're also my inspiration.

Daily Art Challenges are a good way to improve. I've taken your example from Ink October and I'm planning to do Pixel Art Dailies.

Okay I clicked on this for a tutorial and got this cute speech as a bonus, I needed this THANK YOU!

[markm]

Thank you for this video, actually explained the process of creation rather than just listing art styles and tools! Also very motivating. I can't imagine I'll ever be an amazing artist, but I feel more capable of learning how to make something that works for me.

You motivate me to have a endless possibility of not only just making art. But to make games.

Hey man I just wanted to say that you seriously inspire me, I just started my Game Dev journey four days ago, but I find myself visiting your channel often and soaking up as much content as possible. You've been an enormous help and thanks to this video I finally started drawing again something I loved to do as a child but was never and more importantly thought I was never good at. Once I got into middle school there were so many more talented people than me that I just pretty much quit because I thought you needed to have talented to be artistic. Once I got around to High School I took the required art course in freshman year and regained a little of my love, but still the doubt followed me and I think that's one of the reasons why I held off on Game Development for so long because I knew I would pretty much give everyone a chance to judge and critique my art skills, but now I finally feel like I am ready and I'm gonna do what you say and do a couple of character and environment drafts a day and slowly but surely increase my skill. Keep up what your doing man I love it (especially your planet art design for the planet that slowly dies). Best Regards from Georg, 20, in Germany.

I was shocked when I heard that you said "Finding the willpower to rob a bank" so I opened the subtitle and it's just ""Finding the willpower to grab a pen".

your tutorials helped me achieve my goal, thank you ❤

[mslightbulb]

It’s fun to watch this because I’m the contrary, I have years under my belt as an artist, but I just recently got interested in game making. And by recently I mean I haven’t done any, the closest was a video.

[NewCitehNerd]

you can basically create any art you want and there is someone out there that likes it

[DanielAbeleira]

Nice to have content back! I almost finished the Udemy course though :)

[w.schumann]

This dude makes me feel like I can do anything, keep making videos and inspiring others like me!

[ichifish]

There's a great Ira Glass piece that explains the problems beginning artists face (TL;DR): People become artists because they appreciate art, but the gap between what you create when you begin and the art that you appreciate is so enormous that most people give up. Don't give up. Don't criticize. Just keep making art, and you WILL get there.

[TheCivildecay]

I think the biggest problem with beginner artists is that they want to make their first characters WAAAY to detailed and realistic.

Just use basic shapes and make that look decent, then when you are more experienced you can make more detailed characters. (start small, just like with gamedev)

[mcminer]

I cannot thank you enough for making this video! Game art is the one aspect of game development that I am struggling the most and the video really inspired me. I would love to see more!

[Sir_Bone-Head]

I swear your videos manage to put me at ease. I'm seriously trying to get into developing something, but I keep running into a wall. But now I think I've got an idea on where to start. And I'm also gonna try to come back to this channel to learn more.

[NaoSei-lnmr]

I've never been good at art. This video has made me start my completely own game, since I've always been using free assets for my games art, and actually I found that was much better than I though. Thank you for boosting my motivation. Awesome video :D
