Hi! Your Art Is Amazing!! People Probably Asked This Before But I’ve Been Wanting To Try Pixel Art

Hi! Your art is amazing!! People probably asked this before but I’ve been wanting to try pixel art but I’m not sure how to set up the canvas, how do you set up yours? :0

hi!!!!! so.

1) use a small canvas

mine is usually 384 x 216, but its pretty big for pixel art, try something like 100 x 100 for your first time ( there's a wonderful video by AdamCYounis about choosing your canvas size )

2) after completing your art multiply the number of your pixels

100 x 100 pixels > 1000 x 1000 pixels ( not 981 x 981 for example, because the pixels will look a bit wonky when enlarging )

i use 384 x 216 canvas size because multiplied by 5 it makes 1920 x 1080

3) enlarge your image with "the nearest neighbour" method using the pixels you've multiplied

let's say you've drawn a 100 x 100 pixels picture and want to make it 1000 x 1000 pixels ( so it doesnt look small and blurry when posting )

its important to use "nearest neighbour" interpolation, because it makes the pixel art image look exactly how it did originally

[ and finally! ] pixel art is a truly unique form of art and it has its own rules, so i recommend going on youtube and searching up "pixel art tutorial"
