Vix in Japan's video: How to Draw Pixel Art Backgrounds

In this episode I show you some of my top tips for how to draw backgrounds with pixel art. Techniques are demonstrated on my real Commodore Amiga 600 from 1992. In fact I have owned this very Amiga since 1993! Topics covered include how to sketch backgrounds, colour choices, dithering, freehand vs line tools and much more. At the end a speed draw of a real location in Nerima City in Japan is included.

The artwork and slides in this video were mostly created on my 1992 Commodore Amiga 600 using Deluxe Paint IV AGA from EA, although my 1987 Commodore Amiga 500 with Deluxe Paint is also used during the Nerima City artwork.
