Description
I... did a tutorial : P There's not much else I can say that I haven't said in the tutorial. I'm tired and hungry right now. If you guys want me to type a real description, I will, but not this instant.[link] Here is a video. It is regrettably 36 whole minutes, I was having format issues. But if you want to watch how it goes in real time, get a snack and feel free to watch :c
If you have any questions, comments, or anything else, leave them below! I will be taking any input very seriously <3 And let me know if it helps, too!
*runs off*

You made the right choice to make your first tutorials. Sharing experiences with people will always help people out there :].
What I really find original and helpful in the tutorial is how you refer to the examples with little colored dots. That is something you should definitely keep!!! Maybe you can use the colour of the lines in the pixelart (example: the yellow limbs refer to the yellow dot).
However, there are some tips you should keep in mind.
- Less text is always better. Try to summarize it a little bit more. It's annoying to get rid of some sentences you find well written, but it makes it quicker to read. :]
- Arrows can also help!
- In the conclusion you could try to put all the sprites in chronological order so people can see the progress from left to right!
Keep going, and most importantly have fun!

Ahh, wow, a critique? Thanks, haha~
I'm on the fence about the "less text" thing on the grounds that people perceive pixel art as different and difficult, for some reason, and don't realize that it uses the same art principles as any normal drawn art does. People ask me how I do it and I don't know how to answer them because "get better at drawing" is kind of the answer >_> So I figured writing a lot of text explaining concepts and what people should go for, was the best way to help them along. You know, the "this is why I do this", and not simply "this is what I do", because that latter one doesn't help people a lot of the time. Explaining the why is very important when you're teaching somebody something.
I think putting the steps in chronological order at the bottom is probably a really good idea, though. This was my first tutorial and I was barely sure how to go about it in the first place, when I'd done it. I've done two more since and they were... a little better? xD Sort of. I haven't done one in a long time, though, so there are a lot of improvements to be made from this one alone, since again, it was my very first.
All in all, though, I will consider everything you've said :o Thank you so much!
