Description Edit 2 nov 30th 2015: wow! I hadn't noticed this reached over 1000 favourites! Thank you guys so much!

Edit: This isn't even how I make pixels anymore,, maybe someday I'll make a tutorial for that? It has a lot more steps though

Figured I'd make a tutorial since I saved all the steps for the last pixel I made uvu
hope this helps you guys!

Dogquest In reply to kemonboys [2018-02-22 17:33:41 +0000 UTC]

i don't think it's a matter of program used so much as the brush! You want to be using a 1 pixel brush with no anti-aliasing, the lines will come out clear that way. unless you mean after scaling the sketch down? in that case you may just need to be using simpler shapes in the sketch- most details sorta get lost and turn into confusing blur when scaled down that small, so the sketch needs to be pretty large clear shapes if you're gonna draw it bigger than shrink the canvas. ever used shrinkydinks? kinda like that haha... Not sure if this advice is helpful but I'm happy to answer more questions if you need it ^^

how do you scale it down?
i want mine to be 50x50 but right now i am drawing by 100x100

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Dogquest In reply to Vinnabelle [2016-01-20 20:58:13 +0000 UTC]

the individual steps for sizing something down really depend on the individual software you're using, google would be more able to tell you how to do that than I am haha. Past the sketch stage sizing down pixel art doesn't work very well, i recommend only lining/colouring at the resolution you want it to be at in the end :0

But how do you manage such a thin line?

Dogquest In reply to KillerSandy [2015-08-13 18:22:31 +0000 UTC]

Just use a one pixel brush and make sure anti-aliasing is off

I don't know if you're aware, but sai is perfect to do all pixelart in, sou you don't have to switch constantly

Ada-Erika In reply to Dakaido [2016-01-23 21:24:35 +0000 UTC]

yeah but I didn't know few things back then that I do now. Filling is easier on MS paint (at least)

I think I will try this! so far none of my pixels have turned out good OTL
I think withΒ a better program it might be easier though...? not sure c'x

gaaaaaah IΒ want toΒ pixel so bad bc all my programs I've tried are butts and do nothing or they're missing something essential [like layers or a decent colour thing]
Β but I don't have money for stuff like photoshop and SAI plus I have RT and can't get anything like MediBang or paint.net D':<
do you know anything with layers that runs on Windows RT?

I'm not really very familiar with windows, let alone windows RT since I've used a mac pretty much my whole life.
As far as I know there aren't really any good mobile apps for pixel art on any platform... If you want to get into digital art I suggest buying a cheap laptop and a tablet and downloading sai if financially possible. Sai is widely available from peers iirc
