Description A few people asked me to make a tutorial on how I pixel, so here you go!
If anything is unclear, feel free to ask.

This is the icon I've made:Β 




This is just the way I do pixel icons, by no means do I say that this is the only or best way to do it.

Reminel In reply to GoPandas15 [2019-08-20 15:29:29 +0000 UTC]

It is not. It is not expensive though and I've also seen other people share their versions if you search online.

Cute! Any tips that you have? Especially on shading or something lol.

Reminel In reply to Thwoji [2019-03-03 11:20:56 +0000 UTC]

If you want a really easy and fast way of shading, I'd recommend the following:


As seen on image 1: when you are done with the base color, you put all the color on one layer and all the outlines on a layer above. Then you make a clipping group layer with the shade mode, select a color from the sketch and color everything where the shadow should fall. Adjust the opacity and done. - shadow!

As seen on image 2: sometimes a different hue of shadow fits the character better. When in the shade layer, go to filter > hue and saturation and adjust the hue to a more fitting color.



Easy and fast! ovo
