Use ms paint.

 

 

 

ms paint is the best for everything ;)

well that answers that :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

what about the shading and how to create those kool pixels i c =o

What exacly do you mean man? :? :shock: :x

like how do u use photoshop to do the shading in the drawings..i dont think paint its that good for shading...or is it :roll:

If you've got photoshop there is really no point in "down-grading" yourself to MS Paint. If you really can't stand photoshop, or don't want to learn how to use it, you can get Graphics Gale. Even if it doesn't have all the features of Photoshop, it's free and a great choice for pixels. It's specifically made for sprite/pixel art and does a damn good job at it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whatever program you choose to work with, just keep in mind that results will not vary that greatly as the methods used to create your pixel art should be nearly the same. But better programs will make things faster and smoother for you, as well as much less frustrating, which should give you a better overall result! :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, it looks like you've got the wrong idea on pixel art. The idea is: make a graphic one pixel at a time (hence the name "pixel" art). Once you get good with pixels you can get into colour management, anti-aliasing, softening outlines, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following that simple rule, to shade all you have to do is plot down colours pixel by pixel. Basically, darker means more shadows and lighter means more highlights, but it would be good to familiarize yourself with light & shadows and how colour is affected by it.

This is my first sig too, heres mine, i used ms paint and everything is from scratch. All I want to learn how to do is make it say something like "60+ MAGE" In Corner then flash out to say someones name. If you know thatcould you tell me? And i Can help you shade a little even though im really bad at it too. I;m gonna be gone for a little but after that im gonna make the shading a bit darker.

first draw an image and scan/make a photo of it and then paste it in photoshop, then just make a new layer, get a 1 px brush and go over the outlines, the rest you can do with MS paint
