question: do you place the hands and the face on different layers?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
tbh it depends on whether you want to move them or not. Layers tend to move on their own and when you move a layer you move it all. So if you want it to wave for example, draw the hand on a different layer and then move the layer about. I do every bit on a separate layer including eyes.
I don't know whether this's a general rule for all for all programs but I've found it's easier to use different layers anyway. You can just delete the whole layer - or what's on the layer- if you don't like it rather than meticulously get it off. I'd imagine it's much the same with any kind of art.
hope that helped ^^

how big does the pencil size have to be?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think it really matters. As long as it's a square. Depends on the size of your emote. I mean, if you're making a giant one for something you'd need lots of little squares where a big one'd do just fine and you obviously can't do big squares for a small one.
hope that helped ^^

this is a very nice tutorial. It really made sense and was much easier than actually pixel painting, which can be a pain. i used it here [link]
thank you.

is this done in paint??? I need proper (not that these are bad) instructions i'm dumb.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's basically the same. I mean, you can't use gradients or layers (I think) but you still do the same number of pixels and you can still zoom in. It's just a little harder to aim ^^

grrr i dont have adobe elements or w.e is paint available to use for this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
well for the pixels you can just use paint but if you want the gradients or layers you'll need a better program.
