Description
Quick note: generally, the larger your canvas is, the HARDER it is to create pixel art. Start out with a smaller canvas. (less than 150x150 pixels.) This way, it will also be easier to catch any mistakes you make.Quick pixel art tutorial.
Sorry if it seems rushed toward the end, but the psd file was starting to go over 400 MB and I didn't want Photoshop to crash on me, lol.
Also, here's what I was working on in this tutorial:

if I make a this and resize it into a 50x50 will it still look clean and like this? but smaller of course. But it wouldn't damage the pixel? or make it blurry? xD sorry.

Great tutorial. I found it very useful how you explained each step while having an illustration of said step.

"First thing you want to do is sketch."
I agree that doing that makes the art look MUCH better, but isn't one of the biggest reasons (besides making it look video game-y) people use pixel art because they don't have a tablet?

Thank you for this tutorial! It really helped me with my first pixel art piece, which I must say doesn't look half-bad for a first time. :3

I wonder if anyone's tried Pixel Art with low Resolution limits and Palette limits. You can make a SNES-Quality Pixel Art using only the 64 NES Library Colours, which is what I'm working on now.

( i'd really appreciate it if you answer back :33) when i do my pixel art,then save the canvas and the photo.... it comes out blurry and it's really annoying because It dosen't look right plus when i post it the canvas looks REALLY small, and i have no idea how to zoom it in or anything. so you have any advice for my problem??

Fantastic tutorial. Where have you learned the basics and how long did it take you to reach this far? I know you can't get like this without a lot of practice, but I'm just curious.
P.S: Ignore my pictures, they're troll.
