Day 5 - A Leafy Friday
Today the pixel dailies theme was mint, and so I had to come up with something I actually wanted to (and could draw), ideas included mint leaves, mint plants, spearmint, peppermint, newly minted coins, mint condition items (think wrapped in plastic still), mint.. green?
But in the end I decided to go with a simple thing, a mint leaf :)

Looks awesome! What software did you use? :)
Aseprite! I whole-heartedly recommend it, honestly most of the mileage I get out of it personally is the colour palettes it comes with (and the ease of making your own) and the wonderful tools for shading and the like within-palette, makes pixel art a pleasure :D
Awesome! I was thinking about learning Aseprite, and you've just pushed me over the edge--I'll get it today!
Do you have any tutorials or videos that you'd recommend?
Hmm, I wouldn't say I have any very specific tutorial series or anything to follow (my path forward has been very haphazard), but for general tips in how to deal with animation and pixel art as a whole, this collection of little tips and tricks is fantastic and gives you a little bit of a jump start, saint11's stuf was pretty great: https://saint11.org/blog/pixel-art-tutorials/
Also as far as things to draw goes, https://twitter.com/Pixel_Dailies is a favourite of mine, gives you a new theme every day and you can always go look around at what people are posting/drawing, and you get an excuse to draw something, no need to commit to doing it every day or even to submit your work but the inspiration is pretty nice already :)
Plus it constrains you away from spending forever on things: https://bp.io/pd
Thank you so much for the info, profan! :)
