"moments Like This Make Me Glad To Be Awake."

I’m trying to get into pixel art without watching a bunch of tutorials first (they exhaust me and then demotivate me so then I never want to make art again). Anyways, I was wondering if you’d mind sharing some of your earliest works? You are an inspiration to me, but I know I have a ways to go before my very extremely amateur art is anything like your art is now. Thank you :) and have a wonderful day!

I'm glad you're starting out doing pixel art, and that's awesome! I've been in the exact same position as you are in right now, and I'll give one of my Mak Insights™️for this (lengthy ass read). I started doing pixel art around the summer of 2020, and it's been more than four years. I've started basically just like anyone! I had basic knowledge of art, composition, ideas for color, and simple forms. As you might notice, my early works don't really have much detail; it's more on silhouettes because I don't know how basic 3D forms work at the time! And usually I would stick to one color scheme—simple reds, subtle blues, etc. I had a really simple style back then, but I was alright with what I got going.

For most artists, you'd go through learning the concepts, ideas, techniques and styles. I've went through the 'YouTube Tutorial' phase and it's been head scratcher; still kinda is. You learn alot, but sometimes at the same time, nothing at all? I've went through bouts of doubt with my art, exhaustion from trying to do something different, then beating myself up for not getting it right. Only recently have I actually found some peace with where I am in my art life right now. But for now, take your steps at your own pace; go through the process of spending time, learning stuff, experimenting styles, having fun, getting stressed, being bored, and reimagining yourself through your art—and as you're chasing your peak, you realize that it's already reached you, and you're the best artist you can be at that very moment. And I hope this helps <3

 Roman - Your Story Revolving around a Winter’s Morning and a Holy Night vol.2 illustrations

Good evening, my dear traveler of the horizons.

This is a story(roman) for a woman who had her love tainted, who lost love, but kept on fighting her entire life even as she stumbled. This is a story(roman) of a man who was known as ‘He who possessed the hands of God’ by later generations, a man who offered his entire life to something he believed in and expected nothing in return. This is the story(roman) of someone who closed his eyes for the last time with beautiful things etched deeply in his heart. If you ever lose your way, you should listen to the sage’s advice. But in the end, the choice is yours to make. If you are to depart, then at least leave a message. That in itself is also a story(roman). Everything is a special story(roman), the likes of which could be found anywhere.

Let’s bring a song to life. Let’s continue our song. Together with him - one who will be born on a holy night (Noël).
