Pixel art tutorial

author=Pokemaniac
Uggh. This is really messily written, and while you know what you're doing(that is a very nice sprite), you're really not communicating it well at all. This needs better formatting, spelling and grammar, for one. Also, you don't really explain what you mean on a lot of points and only half-explain things. Your explanation of dithering, for instance, is just confusing(and yes I do know what dithering is). You sort of leave everything too ambiguous, which is nice as it gives room for people to work for themselves, but this is a tutorial and the point of a tutorial is to guide someone through a process so they can do it for themselves later. As this seems to be a beginner's tutorial, you really need to make sure there are no prerequisites for following the tutorial, and all the basic rules are laid out and not ignored/alluded to vaguely. For instance, at no point do you explain line theory.

As I said though, I don't doubt that you can sprite, but you need to work on your writing.

Yeah I know, mine writing skills are near to zero, I have the same problem in mine native language too, everything I write, is chaotic and hard to read...so there. I wrote it as fast as I could, because I didnt had much time to work on this tutorial and that "sprite". Well lineart theory is just few stuff, but still I forgot about it...I had the option to write nothing about dithering, because for me its self-explenatory. I wrote this tutorial with the idea of pure pixel art tutorial with few art tips, because pixel art is just another style of painting,its like digital painting,oil painting, its not totally new art type, you will need to know your basic art and painting study,I even wrote it in the tutorial. If I would pinpoint every single thing about art....the tutorial would be, very very very long. Also the truth is,I even put too much emphasis on it, you need to experiment, tutorial wont make you god, its just a hint to show you how its done, but YOU must do it yourself,but yeah it is too ambiguous...I dont know if I should keep updating it or delete it, because if no one has shown interest, then it wont be worth the time. If people will show more interest, I could think about making another pixel related tutorials.

Is there a way to avoid having to run my images through Photoshop?

Work in photoshop, problem solved...or use irfan view.

<Craze> Hey, hey you
<Craze> Are you finished?
<Craze> Yeah, you.
<Craze> I'm talking to you.
<Craze> About the masturbation.
<Craze> You're really gross, you know that? I know you do it most nights.
<Craze> In fact, I've told some CAs* and my friends about it.
<Craze> That cover-up scent you use on your jacket - not that I want to know what's on your jacket - is gross.
<Craze> There's this nice lady down in the student center named Bonnie Brackett. She can find you a new room for next semester.
*Roommate says nothing

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF HE HEARD ME. I used my stern voice and everything. :<

Nice and simple, dont be afraid to add more contrast, otherwise it will look pillow shaded.

Dont worry, I have rewrote it about 3 times, this was just done for the sake of screenshot.
