I might need to try looking at this later to do some pixel art shading, something more in depth like this owo;

I'm glad you like the style! It's funny because sometimes I like pixels with less shading (I just can't do them well, haha)

I tend to prefer minimal shading myself XD;

Hi! I was directed to your tutorial as I'm exploring pixel art.

I'm having difficulty grasping how you use the masks. I think I understand how to make them, but hwo do you use them???

zara-leventhal In reply to omgwtflols [2012-04-29 02:51:34 +0000 UTC]

Oh awesome!

Once you create one, everything you draw on the clipping mask will only show inside the whatever is drawn on the layer below it.
I made a short video to show how it works: [link] It's REALLY short but I hope you can see how you can use clipping masks. If you still don't understand, let me know and I'll try to explain it better.

So, you're using something like Photoshop? Not MS Paint?

zara-leventhal In reply to Rain-a-Sky [2012-02-18 00:39:52 +0000 UTC]

Yup! That's also why it's filed under Photoshop tutorials MS paint is so hard for me to work in. I used to use it, but I switched over to PS because it handles transparency, layers, and animation all in one!

Rain-a-Sky In reply to zara-leventhal [2012-02-18 07:39:49 +0000 UTC]

MS Paint IS hard. xD PS isn't working for me so I'm kinda stuck with Paint. I don't have extra time like I use to, so my pixelling stinks. *laughs*

But doesn't PS take a while with animation? Every time I used the animation, my PS would take several minutes to load and all. :/ I eventually stopped using the animation.

It definitely takes time and practice to get into the flow of things! Have you tried Gimp? I've never used it before but I know a lot of people who do

It doesn't take long for me, but I have a new computer and I'm using Frame animation (idk if that makes a difference), as opposed to timeline.

Rain-a-Sky In reply to zara-leventhal [2012-02-20 05:01:59 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I think I did use the timeline. I don't know Photoshop to well. xD

I haven't tried Gimp, but I've heard lots good things about it. I might try it in the future.
