How I draw pixel art
- Choose an image or create an idea in your head.
- Sketch the image on graph paper to create a blueprint of the image.
- Map out the colors you want to use and decide how many pixels to use for each color.
- Select the appropriate sized pixel brush for the job, and start drawing the pixels.
- Work in small chunks and take breaks if needed.
- Use the color palette to select hues and shades.
- Make sure the overall composition looks good.
- Add shadows and highlights to bring your piece to life.
- Cleanup misaligned pixels if needed.
- Save your work and admire it!
