Re: How do you do pixil art?!
You can find some tutorials at the end of the article http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Guidelines on the wiki. But note that you will have to practice a lot before you can do useable map tiles. Especially considering that Len and Saphy set the standard a lot higher with their latest contributions.

Re: How do you do pixil art?!
Then what kind of computer are you using?
Regardless of the system I can suggest you GIMP as a general purpose graphic manipulation program. Although it is not easy to learn for a beginner.

Re: How do you do pixil art?!
Um, I have GIMP, but I want to use something a bit simple.
I would have tried Tile Studio, but I don't have Windows.
So, if you know any pixal art program then please post.

Thanks!
Re: How do you do pixil art?!
Do you draw the picture on paper then scan it onto the computer and edit it on GIMP?
Re: How do you do pixil art?!
It depends, sometimes I draw concept arts in bus, train or in work when I'm bored.Dawn300387 wrote:Do you draw the picture on paper then scan it onto the computer and edit it on GIMP?
But usually I pixel without it - especially small pieces like icons. In more complicated cases I also use Inkscape (As you saw in well tutorial). But remember - Every artist have to find his own path to most effective work and the best results. And you will reach all this by practice.

Re: How do you do pixel art?!
I guess this is the best thread to post this... I just started recently too, and I'm unsure how to do the shading and basic style. I've been working in paint and looking at others' art as references. I would like it if anyone can tell me how to improve.
I started with Bmp and had to save to Jpg to attatch it, which resulted in a loss of color. Could someone please tell me the best file extension to use?
