Description NEWER TUTORIAL


livestream video = livestre.am/3XcQb

notes:
~ resize by going to Image > resize
or canvas > change resolution
then input 50 by 50 pixels for the new size.
~ I did this in SAI~
~ The binary brush is also the 'Pencil tool' in some programs, like photoshop. :3
~ rather than use a soft brush you can pick a few colours and apply them with a binary brush for a true pixel art quality. I was taking shortcuts on this piece haha

with this method I also made:


zelda fan art~ hehe ^^

Drawing it then resizing it is a really good idea!
Maybe I'll try it too... but pixeling is so hard!

Did you try click and holding the Brush tool to see if a little menu appears? the pencil may be grouped in there! ^^

with what did you resize it because if i shrink it in sai it turns out all pixelie and stuff

onisuu In reply to KyokiRose [2012-07-15 21:14:41 +0000 UTC]

yep, it should turn all pixelly! :3
no worries, because you'll just use that layer as a guide for when you make the pixel lineart on a *new* layer. :3
