General Discussion / Re: Pixel Art ~ Am I the only one?

Ok move this in correct place, im sorry.
Now.
@Phlakes This advice is great, so thank you. //Practise
@9_6 This is so true, I sometimes show my work to others and they say it looks ok, whereas I think i've butchered it.
@slym This. Thank you so much. I feel exactly like this:)
@Helm ahh yes, Ramblethread, your the author yes? This is one of the few that aren't basic, but its soooo much theory, I love it:) (hard to get my head around though), and yes I have read Cures one at PJ, one of my favourites for Principles, also Les Forges one is really good. But also with Ramble thread, I think Anti-banding is a little bit inessecary, but its good theory, i mean most pixel art have HEAPS of banding on all their pieces, but that's just me.
@Mathias I am quite happy with my TA, but my passion is in PA
@Mr. Beast Will Do!
I will rephrase my first post, I don't really mean there crap, when I started pixel art these were "everything". But, if you use all the tequniques in tuts, you usually end up with a sorta "first drafting look", its readable, but that's it.

Well, 3-4 year lurker here, i don't intend to be a member, i am here to ask this question and maybe others.
I have read almost every (i hope this is not an exaggeration, but i am afraid that it is) notable and unnotable tutorial written on pixel art on the internet, i have studied sprites, read up on techniques (AA, dithering, Blending, Hue shifting, RGB/HSL values, Banding, etc.) And I still produce works that even i think are just bad.

So my question is this, am i the only one that thinks all the known pixel tutorials are, dare i say, Basic, there just crap, no offense to the people who write em. I mean, it cant be just me, E.G Tsugmo's works is mind blowing, no doubt, but his tutorial (sywtbapa) doesn't show me squat, and yet people always say "read this one", as with Dereks, as with Gas13, as with PixelZone, etc. people always link the same ones, and i cant get anything outta em. or maybe im missing something? i study each line but, nothing...

I also try to emulate/study many artist, like Fool,Helm,Jinn,Derek etc. but i cant understand ?HOW? pixel-gods?

So am i the only one?
And also suggest ways for me to advance or gimme some more indepth tuts or just new ones.
Thank you
