    Image Umbrella: Pixel Images

    @ Pdnnoob, WAY COOL ! I love that little guy.

    @ Paul, Very nice ! I've not tried to do any pixel work. You seem to have the knack for it. Have you seen the pixel art competition on the forum? You might be interested in trying it out.

    That sounds fun!

    ...so anyway, I do recommend C#, it's really not a hard language to learn - took me maybe 3 days to learn enough to write a paint.net plugin... but mainly I recommend it because you can use Codelab and with Codelab you can type the code and instantly see what it does on the screen... convenient, very convenient.

    Thanks for that, also how easy is it for a 10 year old to learn?

    I was up all night trying to figure out how to do something like that! Couldn't figure it out...

    Here is my first attempt at pixel art:

    Have a look at this tutorial, as well as part 2 (on making a building) - it helped me a lot.

    I also did many Google Image Searches for pixel buildings, houses, etc... and copied them into PDN, then zoomed in to take a look at how certain elements were constructed; this helped me with brick and grass textures. Try pasting my house picture into PDN and zoom into 800% -1200% to see the details.

    Make sure to use many layers, putting each new element on a separate layer, so you can go back and correct mistakes, as well as copy/paste specific elements.

    I started with simple cubes and pyramids and soon started to build up bigger pictures.

    Have fun!

    How do you make pixel images?

    Srsly, just read the thread.

    Paul there's no need to be harsh.

    Frontcannon, though Paul might be a little harsh, he's right when he says that the thread should explain the concept of pixel art. Simply putting it, you draw every single pixel in the image with the pencil tool, with different colors. There are also people that use the rectangle tool at 1px and such, but mainly you should only use the pencil tool.

    Regards

    Thanks

    Actually I've been zooming in but when it saves, its doesn't look pixely.
