aka how to start with pixel art
After I got a Daily Deviation for How to make a victorian house? I decided to make a tutorial series about pixel art. As always you have to start from the beginning and this is it, tutorial about how to start with pixel art. As some of you don't have a photoshop then I decided to make this tutorial about pixel art and MS Paint. I hope you enjoy it.

You mean a tutorial about making one or actually creating it based on this tutorial?

How did you go about selecting which colors you were going to use? I can't seem to find the right 5 shades of blue that look good like your cube does Dx Great tutorial though!
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess there isn't any real technique to it. I just played around until I found the color I liked and then took 5 different shades of this color.

i really loved this tutorial! but how do you save the image without the white space? when i saved mine, you could still see the white ms paint background/ how does the background disappear in yours?
π: 0 β©: 2
You can't save without the white space in MS Paint, unfortunately. I removed it with photoshop to make a better tutorial.

oh, nevrmind! i figured it out! thank you for making the tutorial!

This tutorial is simple and useful, but you would have explained a little trick for new pixel artists that helped me to make the cube base;
when you draw the first line, select it and then flip horizontally and attack to your line, then copy that and flip vertically so you have the finished square.

Yeah, that's one way to do it.
