Stick with pixel art or go with psp7 for overworld gfx?

[weirdpikachu2]

Well, after a while of experimenting with both, it comes inclusive to me on which style to use for overworld graphics. I used to think pixel art was the only way, but then after i saw Graal2k2's palm tree graphic, it didn't quite stun me to be pixel art, yet it still looked very well done and fit its surroundings. I also made a small fun palm tree graphic recently and I think it looks fairly well, although i still plan to edit it to make it look smoother on the sides for better fitting. I think i possibly could have made something similar in MS Paint, but although it's less organized than pixel art, it's still rather quick and efficient for graphics if you know how to use it. This leaves me to attach the palm tree graphic... steal it and... well, just dont steal it

dont use tutorials. learning by yourself is the only way you can be sure not to become too dependant

I say use both. I like using Paint from making the outlines for my graalish graphics and then tuch it up and color it in PSP.

heres an example:

well I say use tutorials to learn how to use things and how they work and what kind of things you can do but then modify and then make your own stuff

because if you start without knowin anything you are just gona make crap for like a year
