( Not looking for artist just tips )

Hiya! I'm looking for some pixel art tips, as I'm a solo dev and need to do programming art and sound. I can do programming and sound well but not pixel art, any help?

Here's my art (not for game jam obv, just some art):


So any tips?

Looks great.  Doubt you need it but maybe there's useful stuff on AdamCYounis's excellent YouTube channel, e.g.

Thx! I'll check them out.

I've been using this jam to try doing pixel art and I've been using the book pixel logic to learn and I've been finding it super informative. An example from the book that I read last night that applies to your art is that you have a lot of banding for you shading which is just where the shading perfectly follows the outline which can make the shape look blurry when you shrink it down. To fix it you can experiment with adding or removing a couple pixels from the edge or use some anti aliasing. But yeah I highly recommend the book it's only $10 on gumroad and there's a free preview that shows you a couple pages from each chapter and its written by one of the artists of cassette beasts
