Where can I find a good tileset tutorial?

on: August 21, 2009, 12:26:43 am
I just started learning pixel art and figured I'd start out by making some terrain tiles. I did the easy ones like grass, water, and forests but I'm stuck on mountains. I'm going for a top down view and want to make mountain ranges like in the final fantasy games using tiles. Are there any good tutorials out there for this because I couldn't find one.

You can click a link on the bottom to go to the next page. It's about 6 pages long or so. Covers water, grass, sand, etc.


Oh, btw, does anyone know where to find Tsugumo's tutorials beyond part 11? I know he added two chapters later on, but none of the mirrors have them. There was at least the one on lighting.

Hello! I remember I found his extended tutorial somewhere else as well.

http://www.geocities.com/skulkraken2002/Tsugumo/chapter6.htm

He has no linking, but see the 1 up there? Just type in the chapter number you want to see and it will load. It goes all the way up to chapter15.

I don't think that's a very good site to learn from. Especially for a person with a tutorial mindset. I'm talking about the - "I don't know how to do draw this (rock, grass, tree) so I will look for a tutorial on it how to draw it" instead of the more fruitful approach of learning from sources which will help your overall skill set holistically.

Here's a few from pixelzone.

http://pixel-zone.rpgdx.net/shtml/tutorials.shtml

All the links should work. I'm just a little worried because they didn't before. Though that was quite a while ago.

Also, the site that Antifarea posted has links to several other pixel art tutorial areas. Those links for that page are in it's right hand navigagion.
