Pixel Art is not a new type of Art. And drawing even simple objects can be difficult sometimes yet interesting. When you draw using squares and have a rounded shape object, details will be different.
If you have any photo, design, or drawing, try to zoom in as much as you can. You’ll notice pixel squares forming the full object. Those squares, are used to draw shapes, designs, and illustrations.
Designing a pixel art object using Adobe Photoshop, it’s easier to do so through guidelines. You can adjust the size of the squares according to your preference. In that case, you control the size of each square to design with ease. Keep in mind that if you didn’t try this art before, it’s better to start with simple and small objects. Perhaps familiarize yourself with shapes to see the difference between a curved edge and a sharp one. Because drawing a circle isn’t similar to drawing a square. Usually, we use the Rectangle tool for squares and rectangles, so the shape is ready within seconds. Yet, in pixel art it’s different.
In Artista’s Youtube channel, there are some short clips where I designed alphabet letters using pixel art:
This may be a good starting point for you guys to watch and practice. With time, you’ll be able to create your own designs and object especially when you learn the basics well.
