Looking for decent tutorial series

[PristineInsanity]

Hi there!

I have been looking all over the web, and cannot find proper pixel art guides/tutorials oriented towards environments. I see a lot of "how to's" on characters or tiles, but I would like to focus on isometric environments.

Can anyone help me out?

My level is just above beginner, and given enough time, I was able to do this with the help of a guide:

(I'd love to hear how can I improve this image)

Would prefer video tutorials, but a written website, if good, can help.

Thanks!

PS: saw this ebook, anyone has any opinions? https://www.scirra.com/store/ebooks/learn-isometric-pixel-art-3

there was this cool guide called the isometric cheat sheet posted recently:

and this post has a cloud link that contains isometric tutes:

Very helpful indeed, unfortunately I didn't express my need properly: what I am looking for are tutorials on proper isometric perspective use of pixel art.

In other words: how do I take a real image or object, scale it down to pixel form, and finally mentally rotate it and skew it into an isometric way.

It's more of the mindset of the analysis of the objects than the actual technique of doing it.

With images: how do I effectively go from 1, to 2, to 3:

How good or bad is your math? I usually just do all the calculations and measure

You could look into drafting which often takes top, front, and side views of an objects and produces an isometric view. I took a drafting class in high school and had to do just that.

This is an ok online resource though your best bet is to find some problems out of a drafting textbook where they show the 3 views and practice drawing the isometric figure from that.
