    This tutorial will start at

    Cool, huh? So how do you do it?

    Well, first, pick your image and paste it onto an new canvas.

    3

    Second, duplicate the layer.

    4

    Run the layer through pencil sketch with 1 for pencil tip size, 0 for range.

    5

    Now run autolevel until you don't notice a change after running it.

    6

    Change the blending mode to additive.

    7

    8

    AHHH! What is that? Don't worry... It'll be fixed!

    Duplicate the layer.

    9

    Set the layer to overlay.

    10

    11

    Open Brightness/Contrast and set it to a low setting for both

    12

    Flatten

    13

    Paste the original image into a new layer

    14

    Set the blending mode to multiply

    15

    16

    Flatten.

    17

    Much better!

    The next part is optional, but can enhance the shading on some pictures.

    Duplicate the layer

    18

    Run pencil sketch at the highest settings (20, 20)

    19

    Set the blending mode to multiply

    20

    Flatten the image and it should look like this:

    21

    Tada! Have fun and post your results!

    EDIT: some one said that the same effect is with the ink sketch... not quite. This is the same picture, but with default outline and full color...

    Extremely different in my opinion....

  2. Just a little something to clear this up so people can get on with making some cool pixel art:
    Pixel images are made pixel-by-pixel using only the pencil tool using a limited palette. This means that no other tools can be used and no effects or adjustments can be used. (We'll know if you cheat.)

    Page 1 rule 1.

    Well, modern pixel artists actually use a paintbucket on larger images for the sake of time.

  3. And if you just want to resize ONE layer, (or multiple layers) use Shift+Ctrl+Z and open Rotate/Zoom. Set the 'Zoom' to what you want and hit ok. Got to the next layer (when resizing multiple layers) and hit Shift+Ctrl+Z and the hit ok. Repeat on all of the sucessive layers you want to resize.

    Hope that helps! :mrgreen:

    EDIT: Oh and you can also do that for moving it with the 'Pan' option. You can also do the 'Roll/Rotate' Option or more than one option at a time. Great for consistency.

  4. Layers are your friends! Try just opening what you want to clone stamp over the other one on a layer under what you want to clone stamp on to so you can still see it, and clone stamp across the layers (when I learned I could do that I was ESTATIC!) then just delete the bottom (clone stamped FROM) image and voila!

  5. Unless i'm misunderstanding you, the OP was requesting a Tutorials+ section for pixel art, rather than a root subforum. :?

    Yeah. We were actually discussing in the Umbrella for a while about it. Pixel art is so much different than all the other subforums under the Tuts section...
