    @30 Sec. Not entirely true, You can scale Pixel art in Raster based applications like PS. If you tell Photoshop to scale using Nearest Neighbor (Preserve Hard Edges) it will not be anti-aliased, and you will get crisp edged Pixel art even if you scale it up exponentially.

      Also, in game, you can tell to the graphics engine (opengl, directx) to use nearest pixel algorithm for magnification. And you get perfect result at any resolution

    This illustrator method is still good for final designs. I found working in photoshop first (with the preserved hard edges turned on) really allows for one to experiment with early initial concept designs as it is a faster work flow. In the end, I loaded that PS document into illustrator get the final vectors. Thank you very much for the tutorial.

    The horizontal and vertical dividers need to be 1 less than what you have in width and height.
    Example:
    width and height: 10x10 pixeles
    dividers: 9x9
    If you introduce 10x10 dividers you will get 11x11 squares.
    Hope that helps.

    One little thing to point out is about the number of dividers, if you put 50 dividers, that will give you 51 boxes, instead of 50, so each pixel box is not 10, it would be slightly smaller.

    Useful video.Thankyou. I want to know if there is an option to draw with Pen tool in order to bring perfect shape and convert that to pixels which exactly matches with the grid box. Since drawing with mouse makes it difficult to bring the perfect shape with hand drawing for Textile motifs (being a textile designer) with more intricate curves, if there is an alternative option to draw with guidance of grid box, it will be helpful. Plz explain me if there is such an option.

    can you please share how would you take the elements and combine them (in a different tool perhaps) into a game enviroment mockup,
    without slowing down the computer so much?

    Gotta say, starting pixel art out on illustrator has not been a great experience. I'm just using this because it's a class requirement, but I'm enjoying using Piskel or MS Paint more.
    My main problem has been that it seems I can only paint pixels free hand; no line tool, no select tool, no fill tool, those are all designed for regular illustrating. Is there something I'm not seeing or am I better off using Piskel long term?
