• Many things are to be considered when drawing pixel art in isometric perspective. I should practice it, since it’s a prevalent perspective in 2D games nowadays, as far as I can see from following pixel artists online.

  • I suppose pixel art is best described as an art form where pixel placement matters most. Unlike digital natural medium art, in pixel art what you say and how you say it are the same.

  • Finished reading: De Stam Van De Holenbeer by Jean Auel πŸ“š I enjoyed listening to this one; my eyes leaked, without being sick.

  • I’m not sure why it takes so long, but I guess that goes with the creative process; it’s not as straightforward as one would want.

  • Progress on my character design is slow, yet steady. 🎨

  • Character design doesn’t come in a flash with me. It always has been a slow process, rather discouraging imo. I guess I’m not a glutton for details, which is a big drawback for creativity. 🎨

  • Scaling down often means (partially) redrawing a pixel art drawing.

  • Was interested in camera equipment for YouTube videos. My budget is < €150. The cheapest I could find via YouTube tutorials the Canon T7 (EOS 2000D) with kit lens for €570. Those aren’t beginner prices! Better for me to use an iPhone on a UBeesize tripod, €20. πŸ“Ί
