Lots of work here!! Finally, I am done with this wordy kind of tutorial. lololol.
I hope you appreciate how I shared my knowledge of doing pixel art.
I tell you pixel art is fun! I enjoy doing it so you should be too. There
may be lots of things to remember but as you find your style and fix it
a little more, you will enjoy it.
Special thanks to =acornbutt who let me use his adorb OC

In newer versions of SAI it might be labeled the "Legacy Pen".

what is the point of clipping the layers?
π: 0 β©: 1
it masks your colors or opaque pixels to another layer. Without clipping, you could leave pixel leaks that would add unwanted Β color in your palette.

what's the purpose of putting the layers on pass through? ouo I mean, I never understood the purpose of it.
π: 0 β©: 1
You mean the group layer? You need to put it on pass through so that every layers inside
with their own layer mode will put over the other layers.
If the mode of group layer is 'Normal', all layers inside will change their modes into 'Normal',
same goes if you make the group layer mode into multiply, then all layers will change their modes into 'Multiply'.
Pass through group layer set lets you use multiple layer modes inside.

i think that I understand. but doesn't normal group layer mode also let you use multiple layer modes? or not?

This is gonna sound super silly, but what do you mean add layers every time? You mean lie, draw a section of hair and then make a new layer, then repeat... or draw each line on a new layer??? I'm sorry... I'm a bit confused
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I mean layers as general partition. A layer for a lineart, layer for colors, layer for darker
shade, one for another shade, and so on. :>>
As for the base colors, what I do is I put one layer for every shade. Like, a layer for hair color,
the skin color, then parts of the clothes with similar palettes. You can put all these color layers
into a folder so you can organize.

This tutorial is very understandable thank you for making this...
Question, how do you make a transparent background in SAI? I have no idea how
π: 0 β©: 1
save as .png with 32bpp ARGB pixel format. The you can convert it into GIF in photoshop. (ctrl+alt+shift+s)

thank you so much for making this!!!!
quick question, however; why is it important NOT to erase stray pixels but to make them transparent? thank you!!! ;A;
π: 0 β©: 2
I guess... I haven't answered your question directly.. hahaha!
Ok, I'll make it simpler. When you ERASE a part of a line, you will see the space
where you clicked your eraser becoming soft and pixels were not wedged on
its original color. That means, instead of staying in a solid pixel, it became
translucent or see-through.
For example:
You have a big yellow pixel dot, then your background is red.
when you used the Eraser on a part of pixel dot, the edges will
become softer that looks like it blends on the background, appearing
an orangey color.
I hope I explained myself clearly OTL.

OOOOOOOOOOH okay! I thought that's what you meant ; 7; thank you so.much!!!!! ; 7;

It is because gif, which is pixel-art's format, doesn't support alpha compositing.
alpha-transparency supports gradation of opacity that overlays intoΒ a transparent
composition partially.
.png is the only format that enables this feature. When there is a partial transparent
pixel in .gif, it will not blend into a transparent composition, but will turn out to blend
in white color instead.
I apply this method because I want people to know the real way how to make pixel art.
Some of them were just cheating by making a vector work, then just applying a 'pixelize'
or 'dithering' effects fromΒ softwares like photoshop to make it look like a genuine pixel art.
I'm just saying tho xDD.

Thank you!!!!
And I totally agree ; A; I do every pixel.piece by hand with the binary/pencil tool. ; 7;

i learned SO much. i think i could actually make a pixel that doesnt look like crap now XD thank you so much :'D!Β
