⭐ So you want to learn pixel art? ⭐
🔹 Part 1 of ??? - The Basics!
Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic.
My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art.
This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!
this is a really great post for anyone wanting to get into pixel art! def give this a look over

In my first year university course there was a class I remember as being mandatory (at least for English majors) about fallacies and biases in writing. And this prof was all about reading the whole article before you formed your argument. That was his whole thing. You know measure twice cut once he was read twice respond once. He stressed this so much that on our final exam (which was two long form essay questions and a few short answer questions) that I decided to read the WHOLE exam booklet before I grabbed my pen.
Turns out that is what he wanted. The final page, the final question, informed the student that if they wrote 1. Their name, 2. Their student number 3. Their favourite fallacy, and wait for 30 minutes so they don't arouse suspicion, you will literally be given 100 percent for the exam WORTH 40 PERCENT OF YOUR GRADE.
I think about it to this day. The prof literally saw the "reading comprehension on this site is piss poor" and said I can fix them

Panel 1. Shows five teens in a wooden cabin with boarded up windows. One o them sits with their head in their hands, thinking "Oh no, nerdy guys don't survive slasher films! I'm fucked!"
Panel 2. Later, a masked killer sits over one of the teen's body with a knife. behind them, the door is kicked open with a bang, revealing a silhouette . "Hey asshole!"
Panel 3. The nerdy teen from panel one. She is now wearing a skirt, a rainbow bracelet, pink cat years, and a blood splatter. Holding up a baseball bat, she says, "I've realized some things." End ID.]

Man I hate it when people use the pronoun “you” as a singular pronoun in an informal setting. “You” is plural, unless thou dost speak to an unfamiliar person. The correct singular second person pronoun is “thou” in most cases. Grammar never changes. Pronouns must always stay one way until the end of time. Learn thy proper English. *sigh* Kids these days.
That last post is getting more popular than I expected, I would've tried to articulate my thoughts better if I thought more than like 2 people were gonna look at it lol. So here is a somewhat more formulated thought on it!
I think it's fascinating how grief, love, and change are all three woven so profoundly together throughout the entirety of FL that it's impossible to tell where the seams are between them in some spots. All three are variations of the same sort of sentiments, three sides to one coin, for lack of a better analogy. One blends into another, they inhabit the same spaces in the story, and even when they don't overlap, they still resonate with and parallel eachother
But I think it's especially fascinating how grief runs through it, given that in the Neath, permanent death is a relative rarity (to the point that you get cards specifically calling upon you to sit vigil with corpses to ensure that the death is truly permanent, that there really isn't another chance.) But people don't just grieve death, and there is so much loss that permeates the story and the setting in a way that you encounter it in different storylines over a lot of different things (a loss of freedom, of a love, of an opportunity, of a mind, etc), and it's one of those things that I think about a lot for the setting
We know that Love is one of the strongest themes that pops up in FL ("in all things, look to love") but I just think those three things are linked together in a way that makes it impossible to truly untangle them, and that they warp and melt into and around eachother. Grief is love with nowhere to put it, as someone once said rather eloquently, but to love is to change, to change is to grieve, to grieve is to love
