  One little thing you didn't really touch on: it's very important to sketch and mockup your dialog boxes and portraits on the actual game screen first before you really get into the nitty gritty of the pixel art. There's few worse feelings than finishing a whole portrait that you're happy with, but then realizing too late that it's way too small or way too big and has to be rescaled

  I am very happy that fire emblem 6 made its way as a sample portrait, they are really my reference when regards to pixel portrait. Also, my favorite game

  Another great class. Loved the later section where provided hands-on examples of UI and how they are lead by the overall idea of the game. Thanks a lot for this.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PQdx3o7gJA&amp;t=910">15:10</a> Just a quick tip.<br> The highlights in the eyes are from the bright lightsource. So depending where the lightsource is, the place of the highlight will change.<br>That&apos;s why sometimes the highlight is on the pupil, sometimes on the white of the eye and sometimes It&apos;s not even showing at all.<br> <br>It&apos;s nice to know that since that&apos;s the reason why so many manga style eyes are looking flat and weird.

  Man, that stuff about taking a break - I discovered it empirically one day when I had been writing music for some time. XD<br>It&apos;s the same there, if you work for too long on one composition, after a while it all starts to sound &quot;the same&quot; and you just can&apos;t figure out what&apos;s wrong and why you&apos;re not satisfied, but if you take just a 20-30 minute break, suddenly everything will sound different after you come back.<br>Not to mention if you were suddenly attacked by inspiration in the middle of the night and worked for couple of hours straight, but then finally forced yourself to bed, next day, when you wake up, you just might not like what you made recently at all... Gotta be careful. :-)<br>But the problem is - it&apos;s so hard to stop when you&apos;re burning!
