Description This is a Step - by - Step Tutorial of how I made my sprite for my pixelID: [link]

A few people asked my how I did it~ So I decided to make this. I hope it helps people who are still in the process of making their Pixel IDs!! ...or just pixeling in general

Just a disclaimer, this is the way that I pixel, it's by far not the only way, or maybe even the easiest way~ but it's what works for me.


*** ALSO! This Tutorial: [link] helped me out a lot when I was pixeling. Definitely read it if you have time!

Bombay. I noticed how you said the fill might bleed.

If you look at the top bar of photo-shop. unchecking the Anti-alias box will help ^^

It works for the Magic Wand tool as well!

Just some extra knowledge...

CUZ KNOWLEDGE is POWER!

This is really great... Totally helpful. -faves-
I was alway wondering how you great artists get such great effects without using stuff like photoshop.. (Lol I only have paint, Gimp, and a mouse.)

The-Dasair In reply to ??? [2007-08-06 05:31:44 +0000 UTC]

Nice work. *will totally use this whenever she's not lazy and gets to the pixeling*

Love all the detail you put into it by the way. Gives the finished product almost a serene feel, with all the bright colors and contrast.

This would of helped Earlier! LoL
But oh well... I'll make more pixel art later, but this helps a lot
But I'd never be able to do all that detail, your hand must feel like 'Silly Putty' O_______o'l|

Thank you! This helped so much! I've been kind of wondering this for a while, since I did pixel art once but I couldn't do good highlights... would it be cheating if I used the "linear dodge" setting to do highlights? D:

A great tutorial!

Though, I've learned that if you turn off "Anti-aliased" on the bucket tool, the fill won't bleed.

XD I realized it last time I did some pixel arts. I was like "Oh... Oh well I would have liked to haveknown THAT sooner." since I filled everything in by hand to avoid the spillage. XD
