Although the concept of this tut is very easy to grasp, this is a thing maybe people over look. Instead of trying to figure it out by thinking they just get overwhelmed and quit. We are going to start with one of my philosophies. -Every picture is made up of shapes, which are made up of lines, which are made up of pixels. Let’s break this down For the sake of making the most sense we’ll break this down out of order. Every line is made up of pixels connected to each other. Here is a pixel. The bigger square on the left is basically a blown up pixel, because if you look closely you can see a dot to the right of it, that’s what a pixel actually is. Technically that bigger dot is made of about 15-20 pixels. Now like I said lines are just connected pixels, the different color shows where on pixel starts and another ends. Once again these pixels are blow up, because they are nearly impossible to see on there own. Luckily with modern technology pixel art is much easier and realistic then it used to be. Old technology would take 45 mins to make this. With new technology in about 2 hours I can create this. Big difference eh? Every picture is made of shapes. Before I explain let me show you an example. This is a portrait picture I drew on PDN, not one of my bests or even a complete works for that matter, but it portrays this well. Here we have a simple face; this may or may not look over whelming, but let me show you a little trick. This is all this picture is made up of, most people can draw these simple shapes. With a little practice you can learn to modify them to make a more complex image. Support Our Troops, End The War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhammer Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Eh... good tutorial, but I feel like the tutorial section is more for tutorials on how to use Paint.NET - not just how to make art in general. I'd say go ahead and post it there. The worst that'll happen is it'll get moved to a different section. As for art. Here's a sort of minimalist background I made.

I Like it! ya leme get on my other pc, and i agree that its more art related, but im going to get more in depth, i just think that that simple concept is so important and so commonly over looked that it deserves a tut ps: isnt art the point of pDN?

k.digennaro Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 here ya go bugster Update Basic Art Tut The purpose of this tut is to really go over the very basics of how to draw a picture and what a picture is made up of.

Once you drill it in your head, that you can draw anything thing, if you think about it first. You’ll start to just naturally say; well that looks like a square with rounded corners, I can draw that. After a while this becomes second nature to an artist. 3D Shapes PDN has a plug-in (Shape 3D) that can simulate the basic shapes and modify them, but I’ll show you how to do it without shape 3D first. We will start with a sphere, in order to draw a sphere you need to first draw a 2D circle. The easiest way to do this on PDN is to select the tool in your tool bar. Remember to hold down shift while you click and drag, this will make a ‘perfect’ circle. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj66/ihclub_hockey/4-4.jpg The next step is to make it ‘3D’. There are several ways to do this with a sphere and it really just depends on what you are drawing. For my purpose I’m going to draw a tennis ball. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj66/ihclub_hockey/1-3.jpg These simple lines give you the sense that there is a third dimension. i just linked them all for you bugster this would be a tut that could go on forever, id have to find a stopping point, or make it separate tuts, id go more i depth with the different 3D shapes, then show how to create them using shape 3D Support Our Troops, End The War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olli Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I Like it , altough it would be better if it was an Sig ( Border and background) @K. Now Go to your previous tut. , hit edit .
