Tips to achieve a Yoshi's Island Crayon Art style
Has anyone here on reddit had an experience trying to achieve the Yoshi's Island artstyle? Have you learned any tips or tools that help? I use aseprite but am open to additional tools. Blows my mind that Yoshi's Island came out on the SNES. No matter what, I can't achieve such beautiful yet simplistic art.
The first two images are my attempts; the last two are what I WISH I could achieve. I usually do 32x32 sprites where I can and 640x360 on backgrounds. Anyways probably just a skill issue on my part but thought I'd share and see if anyone had any tips.
So far, I've broken it down to:
- Choose a pastelish palette from Lospec. block out the colors into simple shapes
- make a crayon brush in aseprite using ctrl+b like this: link
- use that crayon to make shading
- add a glow at the top for lighting (sometimes)
5)create an outline using Shift+O
