Pixel Art Tutorial Series is currently the most popular thing on my page. The idea behind this is to take suggestions from the community and try to make a tutorial out of these things, helping out fellow deviants along the way. You can also find my pixel art tutorials in groups like #TutorialsForYou , #TutorialsClub and #PixelCommunity .
Here is a list of tutorials in my Pixel Art Tutorial Series, tutorials which are underlined and bold are already ready tutorials that you can read, other tutorials without the underline are tutorials that will be posted in deviantART in near future.
You can also suggest new pixel art tutorial series by commenting on my profile page, on these tutorials or by sending me a note.
Enjoy!

Heya! Yeah, I used only normal ms paint, but with newer windows operating systems it isn't as good anymore. Now you should use graphicsgale or smth similar to this.

Thank you so much!

Vanmall, some friendly advice mate - From a reader's perspective, after working on this house for a few hours, using your tutorial, nearing the roof stage, I found out the spacing of my panels was one pixel long. I've had to completely redo the whole thing. Could you please write in your tutorials, the spacing between each panel and other useful things. I've spent a long time zooming in and having to guess exactly how many pixels are needed, and almost every time I am wrong. Not saying your tutorials are bad, but it would be so much easier to draw this in an hour, than spend around 4 hours drawing and guessing each and every pixel.

Thanks

vanmall In reply to Galaxy-Mob [2013-04-21 14:01:51 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for your advice, I will most definitely do it in my future tutorials. I have actually added some more values to some of my new tutorials but I'll be sure to do it even more now.
It is sometimes hard to guess what information I should add to my tutorials, because to me it doesn't seem important but since I made this house, then I knew exactly how many pixels I added. I see how it can be hard for someone who tries to follow it.

Thank you for your feedback.

How do you find the midpoint of the roof?

vanmall In reply to lomomn [2011-10-12 09:03:58 +0000 UTC]

I just find a midpoint of the bottom part and go on from there.

Yay.

I hope you cover pixel furniture beyond what you have. I've been trying to make a book shelf for my isometric room and it ends up too big or too lopsided. >_<

vanmall In reply to Asphyziata [2010-12-02 21:43:44 +0000 UTC]

Good that you mentioned it, I already forgot the furniture. I will finish my house tutorial and after that I'll try to go back to furniture.

Asphyziata In reply to vanmall [2010-12-02 21:45:51 +0000 UTC]

Yay

I'm just now getting into the isometric aspect of it.. non-iso is fun until you run out of ideas and start pixeling the pen on your desk.

Hehe
Both ways, isometric and non-isometric, are fun to do.

Age doesn't matter. I have heard stories about 80 yeard-old men playing with toys because they didn't have a proper childhood. Do what you have to do.
