I was REally lockd off from starting to make games by my inability to create any graphics.Mostly mentally.

Recently(month ago) i jsut sarted drawing whatever in Gimp and using it in my game.But i was stil shy.

This jam made me REAly draw alot, and im getting better with it. now i feel i can jsut draw sprites for myself wheever i need, al lthanks to this gameJam.

Im so happy i joined it.I did not think i can do so much in such short period.

It literaly opened the world for me , thats how it feels.( im not a coder, i self tought myself) and i was shy form doing independent stuff.

My tip is to Not create perfect art.Just use whatever crappy one you can do, and keep doing it - progressively getting better.

Practice, practice,practice such a cliche.

Alright let me explain my strategy to get good pixel art in no time. I used it during this jam and this was really effective.
First as i was working in a group, we decided of an art style. We chose cute pixel art.

My process is to find an example of a pixel art that match the style we needed.

Then reproduce it on my pixel art soft.

And play with it to get what i want and be sure that all art have a consistency.

Here's others examples:
