Thank you all so much for all the comments in my previous pixel art/ icon tutorial! * U * I made it for my watchers originally and I'm glad more potential pixel artists (and artists alike) go to see it too. Feel free to ask any questions or if you want me to help with your wips!

Do you prefer to use sai for your pixel art? I use Photoshop, but Im not sure which is more preferable, I have and use both

*on a pixel tutorial spree*

I have a little question..

I want to make a picture about 800x1000ish and still want it to be pixelized..

I can't seem to make it pixelized without changing the canvas size to 80 x 100..

It's so annoying, have any ideas?

pricechiAug 31, 2013

I do! But i've yet to try it out... I just spend an hour copy pasting big square blocks instead omg.

Draw in 80 x 100 first, then scale on photoshop with 'nearest neighbour'

this one has an image> graphicdesign.stackexchange.co…

it's called 'alias' if you don't want it to... turn to fuzzy edges when you scale ; w ; hope it helps!

How do you make it look a little...bigger?

pricechiOct 1, 2012

If you mean the size of the pixel, you can simply draw on a larger canvas! 50x50 is icon size. You can refer to my first tutorial, and apply the same techniques but using a larger brush.

EmanoniOct 1, 2012

Well, what I wanted to do was make a bigger image, and then resize it down to 5ox5o on painttool sai. How do I do this?

pricechiOct 1, 2012

Do you mean this? [link] (100% is original zoom, 800% is 8 times larger)

EmanoniOct 1, 2012

yes!

pricechiOct 1, 2012

Hope it helped!

EmanoniOct 1, 2012

Wait-I'm trying to do the transparent background, but it doens't work. Help?

pricechiOct 1, 2012

I'm not sure if your SAI can save transparent bgs (mine can't).
1. Erase the background to make it transparent [link]
2. Save in .psd (filename.psd)
3. Open gimp/photoshop/firealpaca, and you'll see that the background is checkered.
4. Save in .gif or .png in that program.
That's what I do.
