Pomar1's Pixel Making Guide

[pomar1]

Hello to my tutorial, about makin pixel avatars and signatures

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What i need to start?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Easiest way to make pixel is use Paint, this normal Paint.

 

 

 

Sure You can use anyelse programs, but first try in Paint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Height and Width

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Avatar= 80x80(in Tip.it forums)

 

 

 

Signature= 389x175(like my signature now)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Color Plalette

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dont use normal Paint colors, they looks notrealistic, ex:

 

 

 

Normal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Better

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course You can use what You want.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to make Avatar?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start from CTRL + E, and write in places
