Never forget that every object has a depth unless it is a plain paper, and so have our two green areas.
This way the two areas have the same hight and widht. The upper one was slightly edited, but just by moving some pixels, not by adding or deleting them. If you thought about everything in the scetch, you wont forget to add it later.īoth stared as just green rectangles of the same size.
Now, even though it is the very first step, you can already see what I am going to create: a nice cabinet for your RMMV char's living room.Īn easy but clean scratch can help a lot to get everything right in the end. If you want to make it possible to put other objects on it in the editor or want it to have a realistic distance from the wall and still a height that isn't larger than the normal 2 tiles wall, a grid is your best friend. I know that the proportions of the chars are not very realistic, but you should still avoid that they look like hobbits next to your tiles.Ī grid: The object will somehow be placed somewhere. Your work probably won't be a standalone thing and just be in an otherwise empty map, so if it is important, to keep it in a realistic size compared to other similar objects.Ī char: Same as with the object. There are several things you can see in this picture, that help you with getting a pleasant size for your object:Ī similar tile: Never loose the focus of what you are going to make. When you want to start doing tiles, it is not very clever to start with drawing everything from scratch - you need a lot of practise to get excatly where you want, and it is important to get a feeling for the style, the proportions, the structure, the light on the objects and everything else.Īs I mentioned, I still use MS Paint for some scetches, and for this object, I did as well: I still use it sometimes to sketch furniture. Sure, it is limited, but for some simple things it can totally do the job. The first year or two when doing edits, I only used this one. Not one of the two main ones, but an honourable mention. For some graphics I open both programms and make some steps here and some in Gimp. So whenever it comes to pure pixel art, this is my choice. It is - to me - simple and perfect for pixel art. I know that there are many other options, but this was the first graphic programm I used besides MS Paint and I had no reason to switch to another one so far.Īs most of you probably know Gimp, this is not as common as it I guess. This is the program i use for drawing, most tileset edits, recolor works, anything that includes transparency. if there is anything unclear, let me know!Īt first I need to say that I use mainly two programms when working on any kind of resource for RPG Maker:
Nontheless, I finished it today and I hope it helps you to improve your skills in this area. I started this for the learning together event, but as life goes, I couldn't finish it in time.
