Hi #portfolioday 👋 I'm and Egyptian American illustrator from a small river town. My work focuses on grief and existentialliam, often through the vehicle of video game-inspired art and sequential illustration. I'm also silly sometimes. Currently open to collabs and zines, not full work atm.

Tofu @tofupixel.bsky.social · Nov 2

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...
#tutorial

Hope someone finds it useful!

A screenshot of a tumblr post reading:

"Title: So you want to learn pixel art?
Subtitle: Part 1 of ??? - The Basics!

Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic."

Two images comparing artistic improvement, the left is of a rudimentary tree, and the right is of a statue in a wall recess surrounded by plants and dappled light.

"My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art.

This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!"

I've been feeling the same this past week. I think your art is always wonderful and I look forward to seeing it! It sucks to only have so much time to do art, and hurts when you your not where you want to be when you push so hard. Im here struggling with you and hope you can pull out of this feeling
