Step by Step : My Pixel Basics

I've had people from time to time ask me how I pixel, and I've never really been sure how to explain. It hasn't been until the past few years that i've really thought too much about what I was doing beyond experimenting and learning new things. I think I've rounded out some basic guidelines I usually follow and a friend wanted some advice so I decided to attempt some sort of explanation

Below are some step by step images and commentary. Please note that there is no one right way to create a piece of art. This Step by Step is meant only to impart some understanding of how I do things

. In Pixel art alone there are many many 'styles'. I encourage anyone reading to look up more than one tutorial and seek critique if trying to learn their own pixel style.
Please excuse any spelling mistakes, and take note that I use Photoshop 7.0, but the same principals shStep by Step : My Pixel Basics by =firstfear

Jenny Haines
Artist | Digital Art

United Kingdom

Hi everyone! I'm the artist for the webcomic Generation Minus One, which is currently on hiatus but coming back very soon with all new characters and *gasp* a plot!

I also do commissions, some examples of which you'll find in my gallery. Send me a note if you're interested in hiring me.

I love video games and in my spare time I'm working on a series of pieces that combine historical games with historical art styles. My first one, "The Hunting of Ducks", a mashup of Duck Hunt and ancient Egyptian art is now available for sale here: [link]

I'm still trying to learn my way around DA (it's intimidating when you first join! So much to learn!), and I'm kinda shy, so please don't be offended by any perceived impoliteness on my part. I do love chatting to people though so please leave comments and/or point me in the direction of any art I must see or groups I should take part in!

Since you said you were interested in participating, this is just a reminder that the contest of the group #Gamers-NESt is ending within a few days. a deadline extension can be given when asked.

~genminusone Aug 27, 2012 Digital Artist

Thanks for the reminder! I've got a cute idea in progress (Ice Climbers!) but it needs more work :/ I don't wanna ask for an extension if I can help it, but I'll probably know by Weds. if I need one. Will that be too close to contest end to grant extension?

*ripley4O77 Aug 27, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

If it's the day before or even the same day, if you ask me before the 31st of August on Midnight then I will still grant you the extension. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
