as a reference, sure!
as a pixel art/sprite, ehh that's stretching it by a large margin.
some of the main feature of pixel art is the artistic look of palette, textures & lighting together. the shape of your pixel art is also important.
shrinking images could only do so little. the textures are messy & cloudy. the palette is a soupy mess of "fluffy" colors. the lighting is often confusing. the shape becomes vague & too abstract.
overall, i only recommend the use of shrinked image as references. even then, i would only shrink images by a couple percentage, not shrink into near indistinguishable blob of color. aside from that, i urge you to forget about shrinking photos used as pixel art.
At least he could change interpolation method from cubic to nearest or something, but it wouldn't do much.
Thanks for all the help you have given me

Me: Just import it into MS Paint
TJ is my nickname from where I live
Seriously? Import it into Microsoft paint, then switch to GIMP or Adobe to clean it up...?
@@jodymcdougle8810 it's a joke - Microsoft paint pixelates everything
What is MS paint?

This is more a tutorial of how to shrink images than how to make pixel art. It doesn't really utilize any of the principles traditionally used in pixel art. Especially with those aliased transparencies.
5:09 "We'll just anchor that and delete the old layer.." this "just" is taking me an hour to figure out how to just anchor...
lmao, this just happen to me
with all those semi-transparent pixels im not sure if this can be called "pixel art"... i cant even figure out the pallet in use..
this should be titled "how to pixelate a photo"
You saved a pixel art... as a JPG...

Oh boy.
Wow thanks for this TJ! Oh yeah were you still gonna do that Papagayo making your own mouth expression tutorial? 🙂
You're welcome. Yes, I think I'll work on that today!
@@TJFREE Perfect! Thanks so much man!
that's not Pixel Art though
^ this
Agree. But the base idea is good though. I think that changing the interpolation and color depth could get us closer to the end result.
My goal is to turn my own photos into cross stitch patterns. Is there a way to add a grid over the pixels? And to pull out all of the colours to show a palette?
I'm looking for a tutorial on masks. What's its difference compared to layers and so on?
Cool, I didn't know you could do that!
does he know we can only see the top half of the screen
Is there a way to make it look less blurry?
For everyone bitching that this isn't pixel art, I'd like you to do the sprite work for my indie game pro-bono. See, I can design, code, and even play music but I can't illustrate for shit, and I've been using this sort of technique for years to avoid having to demonstrate rectangles sliding around and bouncing on rectangles and shooting other rectangles with smaller rectangles. And you know what? It doesn't suck.
Thanks!
Thx
So useful!!!!
Wow... 💯💯💯💯
This was so helpful! Thank you. I have a question I'm sure you could answer, so my plan is to then use the pixel art as a reference photo for an oil painting. So i'd love to be able to see the colour palette that I would need to mix before beginning to paint, is it possible to do that somehow? Meaning is it possible to see and count all the colours that are neccesary? since its hard to tell and compare them to each other in this kind of image. Any advice would be amazing! thanks
Yes it is, you can draw a few rectangles on your canvas, then use the dropper tool( one that picks colour from the image) to choose colours from the image, then fill the rectangles with those colours.
Can someone help me ? ,im using ubuntu 20.10 and i cant download it. Where can I download?
Your snap store
As always great content thanks a lot.
Can't you just put the unedited image of tree directly into rpgmaker or something??
the only thing I would add to this toturial is how to clean up the edges so they look sharp and not so blended ( anti-alias).

when you use this to make game art
Clever
But what kind of pixel art is this? You did practically nothing, you just grainy 2 pictures and that's it lol
That looks extremely bad. And saved as a JPG. Oh boy...
what a noob here
I really didn't enjoy this video. It was highly unorganized and the instructions were just all over the place. For those of you watching this for the first time, you will need a notepad and pencil. Also, be ready to pause, rewind, and fast forward plenty of times.
Thank you for all the help you have given me
