  1. Learning digital painting I’ve had questions about a lot of things like layers, colors, shading, etc. I looked for straight answers being the “follow the rules” kind of person but never got straight answers. I’ve learned to color and shade a lot like how you do and I am pleased to see the amount of depth this video goes into explaining what I wish I’ve learned long ago. Thank you for the video; like pretty much all your uploads this was very helpful!

  2. How did you put the reference photos over the white background?

  3. I love your art style! Damn i wish i could draw like that. The crispness and colour is fantastic!!. The one thing that always seems to block my progress when making a game is the graphics and art. Was hoping you could tell me.. What resolution/size is your canvas? Also what size do you make your sprites when importing in to Unity? Is there a set size/resolution you work to?? I always have trouble figuring out what size to draw them or what resolution to use. Your videos have helped me a lot and are really motivating!

  4. Whenever I import my art in Unity I can see the pixels off the lines.. Why is this?

  5. Very interesting and useful video. Keep it up!

  6. I love your videos,which teached me a lot.Keep up the good work.

  7. Is paint dot net a good alternative for gimp? I'm new to game art and stuff and don't want to download any new programs without actually knowing if I'm into drawing 😛
    Edit: Such an amazing tutorial, I've decided that I'm going to bed now and I'll check it out as soon as I'm done with school tomorrow. Thanks alot, you inspired me! 😀

  8. Me without a tablet: spends 5 hours drawing a single shitty looking child-level sketch of a character, using pencil and paper, then being left with a shit ton of rubber bits and wood shavings.
    Don't do pencils kids, stay in art school.

  9. Love it man! thanks! You did a great job with this video. The audio was great.

  10. Do you have any tutorials on how to make multiple frames for animating?

  11. hello. i'll like to know wetheir you use a graphic (drawing) tablet or not?. by the way i really like your videos

  12. You are the god of 2d cartoony art! Respect

  13. Could you also make a tutorial on drawing such characters in gimp……pls. Nice tutorial though

  14. There are 2 FREE 2D art apps I know
    1. GIMP
    2.KRITA
    I use krita because is easier to understand
    press like if thats helpfull 🙂

  15. What is your set up when drawing?

  16. If you are using a mouse or trackpad, you can take advantage of Photoshop's smoothing options(For brush and eraser tools). While my artwork is nowhere near as well as Noah's, after finding the smoothing options (I set mine to a small number like 2-4%) and particularly the 'Pull string mode', my artwork is coming along. Also, you can sample colors from your canvas, by holding down alt then clicking the color. Which I find easier than hitting the I shortcut. Scale the brush/eraser size by holding down alt, hold right-click and drag left or right. Toggle between Brush and Eraser tools by using their shortcuts: B and E. Since these shortcuts(as well as Ctrl-Z to undo) are all easy to reach with the left hand, it really makes the workflow much easier. Especially with the smoothing option enabled.
