    Mkae sure you clean it up afterwards or it's not really pixel art.

  2. Alaric says

    it looks good, but its kind of lazy and when you do this you don't have a real art style. it just looks like a pixelated bird

  3. Ronnie Nimer says

    after I screen shot I cant deletre the background… it selects every single square to delete

  4. SnakeStrife says

    And if I need to make a big image, how I can? This is too little for the use that I've to do

    Heh, Its someone hacking the system LOL
    I can make good pixel art but my tiles I uselessly just make from scratch, but when your constructing big levels with original art/tiles it is very time consuming.
    This is one of my examples

    Knowing now I can basically draw the tiles instead of "Pixel by Pixel" in Paint.
    Then basically do all of this to do it for me, saves SOOOO much time.
    Thank you, im glad I found you.

    Now if only I had Photoshop… I'd make some nice-looking backgrounds with this technique.

    I've been looking for an easy way to do this without resorting to pixel tracing. This will be sooooooo freaking useful for making sprites from my graphic art!
