Tutorial - Beginning to Pixel

This tutorial will show you how to start to pixel! Ever seen those little drawings that are really cute and made you really want to draw one? Now you can. Just follow along. Enjoy!

Step One - Outline

Open up your image editing software. MS Paint is pretty easy to use and almost everyone has it. Piexels always start with an outline. Draw freehand or with line tools an outline you wish to pixel. I'm going to be pixelling a whale.

Step Two - Shading

Once you finish your outline, choose what color scheme you'd like to make your pixel. The more experience you get with pixelling, the more color schemes you can apply to certain areas, like different schemes for eyes, different schemes for hair, etc. I'm going to choose a light blue color for this little whale. Outline the black in the darkest shade of the color you chose. In my case, I'd outline the black in the darkest shade of blue I chose.

Once you've outlined in the darkest shade you've chosen, make that color just a few hues lighter, and outline again. (In paint, do this by double clicking that color down by the colors and raise the bar to make it a bit lighter.) Keep doing this as many times as you like. The more you do it, the more definition your pixel has. It is all up to the pixeler.

Step Three - Basic Color and Detail

Once you've finished outlining, create the base color you'd like your pixel to be. (Somewhat close to your outline colors.) Use the fill tool (paint can) to fill in the base color. Then slowly add details and features to your pixel like eyes, mouths, noses, bows, hats, etc.

.. and tada! You made your very first pixel! You could always email it to me to show me how you did. :)
