E: Demi I'm making you my second funniest on Graal for that comment.
You actually can be taught pixel art, you just have to teach yourself and take advices.

What I meant was on a student teacher basis. It can't be taught like if I was a teacher and you were a student...

E: Just my opinion but people who have experience hand-drawing IRL will have better luck in getting better at pixeling. Out of my own experiences this is true.

I'm terrible at hand drawing and I do all right for myself
The concepts are pretty different.

Free handing something on a piece of paper is drawing in one continuous stroke (basically) while pixel art is zooming in on an image REALLY CLOSE and then making little dots...it's more like a mosaic.

Smirt try to notice the words 'opinion' and 'own experiences'. I draw really well by hand and that helped me to understand pixeling a bit better. Lancelot9 drew by hand as well pretty good.

Can't say I agree... I use the line tool in paint nearly like I do a pencil on paper.
