Hi guys!
I’m really new to Aseprite and pixel art in general. I know this is nowhere near to the rest that is posted here and I can’t comprehend yet, how can anyone do those great stuff here. BUT, I didn’t think that I will ever be able to do something like this before, so that’s a start, I guess. Of course any tips are very welcome.
buddy that looks really good, i mean, thats your first real art, i cant even make isometric art yet lol
The isometric style should fit the characters you would want to create in the world… the characters that would go in such an environment would be quite large, so most pixel artists would work in a smaller, more limited space…
Your art is pretty clear and I find myself thinking the colors are not divergent enough brightness-wise… the white is pure and everything else doesn’t look like it has shadows but lines…
TLDR: It could use a bit more shadowing and palette planning. Maybe choose a smaller size for a bit more limited but creative work.
Honestly, I am struggling with smaller size. I just can’t force myself to see those as finished pictures. I mean, I know that less is more, but say on a 16x16 canvas I am clueless about what to do.
With pretty clear, you mean it should have more details?
16x16 seems a bit too small for what you’re doing imo. Try 32x32 or 64x64.
The beauty of pixel art is the limitations that come with it!
These limitations are what bothering me. I have to alter my mindset to not going for hyper realism.
The limitations in pixel art are primarily for your benefit, as creating large pieces can be quite time-consuming.
While it’s not mandatory to follow other people’s guidelines, it’s beneficial to understand why those guidelines exist. This knowledge can help you become more thoughtful and appreciative of the art form.
Your wardrobe looks good for what it is; it’s visually recognizable and features basic, per-side-based shadows. However, adding a particular mood or incorporating more objects and shadows in the environment could enhance the perceived detail of your artwork. The flatness and overly bright colors of your wardrobe and the ground lack variety; when you squint, they appear solid and uniform, which doesn’t contribute positively to the piece.
Find artists online who make work similar to what you want to create and learn from them.
I’ve edited your cabinet to scale it to half its original size and made some quick touch-ups for fun and to illustrate that the colors should be a bit deeper and used in more places.
Hope you keep making pixel art…
Wow! Thanks for the tips. Yeah, the “mood” is what I have a hard time to find. Your 2 variants actually helps a lot to understand pixel art better, thanks for that. I will definitely keep making (or at least try) making pixel art. I came from 3D (Blender), but I think pixel art is closer to me.
Cool art! 
man ive always wanted to do isometric art…
Looking really good!
