This is how I pixel stuff. I'm going to upload this pixel at my other account btw.

THIS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO PIXEL! This is actually an extremely complicated way to do it. xD Experiment with doing things, and find a style that best suits you. ;D

Okay, I'm really really bad at explaining things. So, ask as many questions as you like! I'll try my best to explain. ;u;

Questions:
-------------
Q: What program did you use?
A: I'm a retard and forgot to say it was Adobe Photoshop 7.0. But this will work with every program with layers and a pencil tool. Like Gimp, Paintshop pro and other versions of photoshop. there are probably more. 8D You can pixel in MS paint, but not with layers like I do.

Q:When you started your untitled, what size did you use?
A: When doing small pixels like this, I usually start with 500x500px, because it gives me lots of room to work!

Q:What format do you save it as?
A:.png. Because png's keep my images transparent, and won't mess up colours like .gif's sometimes do!

Alright, it's been forever since I've used any form of photoshop, but I believe it is that when you start a new canvas, you can choose from background colour, transparency or white for your canvas.
Click transparency, and the background should be all grey checkered when you open it.

Hi! This is a really good tutorial.
Faving it!!! ^_^

I have only one question.
I'm used to see little pixel art. But what happen if you want to do a bigger one?
It's all the same, but with different sizes? Or I need to do something different?
Sorry if the question is silly, but I'm not used to this tipe of designs. ^^'

Shioiri In reply to Lovelove333 [2010-10-14 14:04:08 +0000 UTC]

thank you! I'm glad it's good <3

If you want to do bigger ones, then you'd do it just the same as little ones! I'd use the same size brush though (1px)
I hope that makes sense ;u;

Nya You proo! ( you know me. Yes you do)

i have one question..
When u start as 500x500, how do u srink it to 50x50? XD

Shioiri In reply to ChristieXu [2009-08-16 18:57:57 +0000 UTC]

I just crop it. o3o and this image was like 199px by 175px at the end!
when I make icons like mine, I actually start with it as 50x50 pixels, because I have to make the pixel fit

ChristieXu In reply to Shioiri [2009-08-16 19:00:28 +0000 UTC]

Oh xD But when i use photoshop and make a pixel, when i ENLARGE so i can see, it all messes up D:
How can u pixel at 50x50? Cause when i save it, it X_X all messy
lol xD

Shioiri In reply to ChristieXu [2009-08-16 19:08:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I see. You make the image 50x50 when you start, then over in your navagator window, it shows a tiny preview of your image, and a little thing that says "100%" Just change 100% to 1600% and then it'll zoom in! You can draw it all in 1600%, then what it looks like at 100% is how it saves like
