MESEDILLA STUDIOS v9.0

Pixel Art also allows me create a template object or person then just modify pixels to create new objects or persons with different movements.

• Adobe Photoshop
  • On each object/person, I simply opened 2 views. One on 100% then the other one on full zoom in.
  • Use the layers feature of Photoshop as often as possible.
  • Each person has its own file. Each object has its own file. Each landscape has its own file too. So you see I have a lot of files just for the masthead.
  • This allows me to have less clutter with layers. Especially when I have a lot of objects and persons on the image.
• Patience – You need a lot of this. No, really! If you look closely, the masthead consists of defined pixels. Most of objects are done by trial and error. The rest are by luck. Hehe!

• Pixel Deviant – Jared Smith gave me some pointers on how pixel art is made.
• Icon Wax Museum – The waxes showed me that even the smallest change in a pixel can define shape and movement.
• Electriconland – Inspires me to animate my masthead.

When starting to create your own pixel art, it will really help to use the layers function of photoshop as often as possible. It avoids having to shout at anyone for making your own mistake of deleting a detail you have worked on for so long.

Another thing, turn off anti-aliasing so you can really make the colors sharp.
