Description ...Well as realistic as pixels can get. 

I'm sick and currently sound like a castrated frog, so i made this as a break from commissions. 


My first tutorial! I love pixeling strawberries and I thought I'd share with you guys one of the ways I do them

I would say this tutorial is fit for pixel artists on an intermediate level, as some parts can be tricky, although it'd be great if beginners can learn from it too. I hope I've explained it clearly! 


Apologies for the blurry outlines of the enlarged strawberries. Print screen on Mac sucks, that is all.

Please do not steal the strawberries on the image. This is a tutorial, make your own strawberry!

Kiyorin In reply to Berryflame [2014-07-31 10:11:32 +0000 UTC]

I use photoshop. In photoshop, make sure the background layer is not selected. Your "background" should appear as a grey and white checkered pattern. Save your file as GIF and it should be transparent


Should be similar in MS Paint, I use mac so I can't check for you I'm sorry I would google some tutorials for ms paint and PaintToolSai

Just ignore this "thouwilt" guy.

I've seen him on several pictures, saying things just like this lol.

He's advertising/shamelessly-self-promoting.
