Watch the Full Video Tutorial HERE Tutorial: Sketching and Simple ColoringArtist: James McDonaldJames McDonald - I found James from his wonderful pixel art and after getting to know his work saw he has an impressive portfolio and a great sense of how to create shapes and work with color! If you enjoy pixel art, check out James’ work!
In his Citizen tutorial, he focuses on the process as a whole to create a final result. From first gathering ideas and compiling them together until you have something you want to further work with. Once he has a sketch, he then shows his step by step on taking that idea and going through his process.

The top one seems very familiar to a concept I came up with a few years back xD

Due to the size of the Sprites, using almost only simple shapes, then put alot of details in it
and having a great sense of how to play with colors to show for exemple that the "two red pilexs"
is a flower are common needs in Pixel Art.
It's no surprise to see the sckech and couloring affected by it, and I have to admit that thinking "simple"
intead of going in multiple shapes what let us get lost in our own drawing often help. As beginner spriter
myself, I often use pixel art techniques to get a catch of the shapes before starting to shade a drawing.
