#Pyxel edit line tool skin

Drawing in the eyeballs made me realise that I need separation between the eyeball and the rims of the glasses, so IвЂ™m actually going to move the highlighted pixels below across to the left: Our avatar needs eyeballs, so IвЂ™m using a darker grey with #4c4642. The lighter colour makes it clear itвЂ™s a part but without making it look odd:

The two pixels representing the part look weird in the skin colour so IвЂ™ve used a lighter brown ( #7a3606) to colour it in. IвЂ™ve added in 3 more pixels at the very top of his hairline to bring it down a touchвЂ¦ it just gives it all more shape: IвЂ™ve left a couple of pixels bare to show the part in his hair: Now that heвЂ™s got a slightly smaller head, IвЂ™ve added in some more brown hair ( #522404) on the top three rows of the head. With Pyxel Edit, you grab a bit using the Selection tool, and then you can move that section by holding the Ctrl key: IвЂ™m going to decrease the height of his head by one lineвЂ¦ and the easiest way to do that is just to grab a section and then drag that section down a row to effectively replace those fields/pixels: This guy looks smart, but no one is that smart. IвЂ™m using the #7f756eВ grey colour:ДЄlright, IвЂ™ve added in some brown hair ( #522404) but now IвЂ™m worried that this guyвЂ™s head is just too massive. The reason the head is so big is the same reason those fairground and boardwalk caricature artists draw huge heads, thatвЂ™s where all the details are. Then add in a 10 pixel line centered on top of that: WeвЂ™re going bigger!Add in a single line of 12 pixels on top of our rectangle making sure the right hand side is still aligned (ie, it finishes in the same spot) on the right side. Fill in the pixels between the collars with the skin colour, then working your way upwards add in a line of 7 pixels, a line of 9 pixels and a line of 11 pixels:ДЄlright, letвЂ™s put on an absolutely massive head by adding in a 13 pixel wide and 10 pixel high rectangle in our skin colour:Д¬olour that rectangle in with the paint bucket tool: Our avatar needs some arms! Use the same skin colour that you used for the legs and draw in two 2Г—5 columns of pixels alongside the waist and lower torso:ДЇill in the upper body the same width of the armsвЂ¦ draw a 3Г—11 pixel rectangle, then add a line of 9 pixels centered on top of thatвЂ¦ and then 3 pixels on one side to make a collar, and 1 pixel on the right side to make the other side of the collar:ДЄlright, weвЂ™re starting to get a bit of a person shape. Throw down three lines of 7 pixels to keep the same width as the waist and legs: Next weвЂ™re going to build up the lower bodyвЂ¦ IвЂ™m using #264fddВ here, but again, you can use any colour. IвЂ™m using #ffd0aaВ for skin and #5a534eВ for shoes here, but basically make the legs 2Г—2 pixels and the shoes/feet 2 pixels wide: IвЂ™ve used #7a1285В here, but you really, really donвЂ™t have to if you have any sense of style.Д§ pixels across for your avatarвЂ™s waist, and then 2 pixel blocks for each hip: Start with a document that is 50 pixels by 50 pixels: IвЂ™ll be using the Pyxel EditВ program, but you can honestly use any default art program on your device, or any Pixel Art website. Once youвЂ™ve got the basic style under control, youвЂ™ll be able to make changes to make anyone you likeвЂ¦ In this tutorial weвЂ™re going to be creating the base for you to create any number of Pixel Art avatars.
