#Pixen charcyer how to

I bought Pixen the other day from the app store. I’d also like to work on my shading a little more, the image is still a bit flat. Which is a pretty slow way but helps create nice lines and less jaggies (which are little breaks in the line that make the line look uneven.) She’s pretty damn cute, huh? I’d like to try a little more tracing pixel art and then I’ll show you guys how I’ve been doing it.

I might need to study up on how to colour pixel art but how I did it was add in flat colours and trace the line art with a shade darker then the flat colour.Īdded a little bit of shade, I didn’t want to over do it which is a mistake I often do. Biggest difference is the trim on the skirt. I ended up changing little parts to make things easier. So here’s the (almost) finished line art above the original sketch, As you can see it’s not a 100% perfect copy. Oh gosh, that face and her soul-less eyes. I started with the head and while I wanted to start off with a black line art I found once I added the moon the image would look too messy so I made the moon yellow to be able to tell what was hair and what was moon. So I opened up the image in Pixen which is why there are so many shades of grey in the Frequency Palette. I grab the image from my dec 2013 hourly comic.

So after a few days of trying to trace art work and turn it into pixel art I tried something new, which I will explain in another post because I want to try and perfect this technique of mine.Īnyways so today I decided to try and turn my little animal crossing character into some pixel art. Like there is so much that can go wrong and you can just sit there knowing something is wrong but unsure of how to fix it.

For a while I’ve wanted to try and trace something I’ve drawn and turn it into pixel art.
