I was cleaning up my bookmarks; maybe someone will find this tutorial relevent to his or her interests. Here is the link: Derek Yu Quote: | Originally Posted by http://www.derekyu.com/extras/pixel01.html Creating pixel art is a skill I picked up because I needed graphics for my games.

You can even find it in print magazines, like Wired and Electronic Gaming Monthly!
This pixel tutorial was created many years ago to teach people the basic concepts behind pixel art, but I've streamlined it a lot since its first incarnation. There are other pixel tutorials around, but I find them to be overly complicated and too wordy. Pixel art is not a science. You will never have to calculate a vector when doing pixel art.
In this 10-step tutorial, I'll teach you how to create a "sprite", which is a stand-alone two-dimensional character or object. The term comes from video games, of course. | (EDIT: Link updated - A.I.)
