New tutorial alert: @Saultoons' latest video "How To Draw Anything…" explains how the basic elements of art (line, shape, form, space) and the fundamentals following from them (perspective, anatomy) enable you to draw it all. Feature on the blog: https://t.co/Ch9DXVmNOG

Actually, this tool is so good it inspired me to even write an article for the blog about it (it's been too long): https://t.co/AxMkQ2B0qJ

A new free tool for easier rotoscoping! Lester by @rubentous1 analyzes the video and generates the frames automatically, as described in the research article "Rotoscope Animation through Video Object Segmentation and Tracking". Kudos for open-sourcing it! https://t.co/jwQ2kb0wE8

Just got sample prints of posters and canvases, coming soon to my new shop! The print quality is just wonderful and everything came out how I wanted it. Can't wait to share more, including t-shirts and something I'm most excited about: my own line of pixel art leggings!

What an adventure! In August 2015 I launched the idea for an adventure game where you become an art student and learn drawing alongside your character. I still have a long way to go, but it's still the right way. Thank you for following this epic journey! Video below:
Oh my, I've been making this game for 10 YEARS!!! 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂 Couldn't have imagined how this decade would turn out, but I can look back and give you a nice retrospective: https://t.co/Yfty8GRX3A

Funny enough, when you apply a CRT filter, the halftone dither also gets darker due to the white pixels becoming dots with a circular area instead of a full square. Therefore, when doing pixel art for a CRT display, you do actually get closer to 50% gray.

In other words, open the image large and squint your eyes to see where the shades align.

Unfortunately, at least on macOS, when pictures are scaled, they get linearly interpolated (blended) in gamma space, not linear space as would be correct, so blending makes the halftone appear darker than it is if you're displaying it 1:1.

Just a random observation that the 50% halftone dither (black and white checkerboard) is halfway between black and white in linear space, which does not correspond to what we perceive as 50% gray. It's about 73% gray (with an sRGB display and pixel-perfect interpolation/scale).

Clouds practice #3, this time from my own reference with colors mostly picked plein air at a different sunset with similar conditions (Atari 2600 palette, as always).

Alaska embodies the edge: vast, remote, and unforgiving. It demands technology that works where others can't. @AlaskaDOTPF's drone program reduced their critical decision-making window from 28+ hours to real time. Watch how they're reimagining what's possible with Armada at the

First artwork of 2025. I tried to retain the expressiveness of my pixel paintings but also clean it up and make the clusters at the edges reminiscent of impressionistic painting where there are abstract blobs of color that slowly get representational towards the center.
