As the title says I want to learn to Pixel. I have Paint, and nothing else at the moment. If anybody can help me that would be great.

We're all around to help you out, dear. Anywho,paint will work just fine for pixeling, so no worries there!

Our Mariaria used paint. *nods*

All you need to do is find tutorials and inspiration and start working on it!
*claps*

Welcome to the world of pixel.

Anybody have links to good, easy to understand tutorials?

Google is your friend.

Kawaiihannah's website is great.

I have this in my bookmarks. The first tutorials will surely help you if you have no idea what to do. :3

If you want a dedicated program for pixel-ing I've heard good things about pyxeledit though I personally found it a little awkward to get to learn at first... but I don't do a lot of pixel work so... I'm a bit bias. xD

I think I will just stick with paint. I would rather not download anything else onto my computer.

Paint is so easy to pixel with - I like to use it because it is basic and doesn't distract me with other options...just the simple things you need :D

Here are the bases:


If you want them without their undies, I can upload them for you.

Honestly, I find inspiration in something and just start to draw it in my own pixel style and go from there :) If you want to post and outline, Xuvvie is REALLY great with folds and the natural shape of cloth and she can probably help you. I will try to help as well :)

START WITH SOMETHING SIMPLE. Don't make the mistake I made and start with complicated items. Start with a shirt or a pair of pants first. XD

Well right now I'm just practicing cubes. How do I load the bases on paint?

Just right click the base image you want to use, hit copy, then paste it into paint. Alternately, you can save the bases and load them in paint.

Thanks.

This actually makes me touched and... jealous.

That is a very smart thing to do.
I always hope that I start with something basic to learn the vital theory which could then be applicable to the rest of the items. Instead of wasting longer time drawing things and found that they are lousy and unreal.

starting with shapes is a very smart thing to do :D

I am worried though. As I'm not a drawer. I suck at drawing.

Maria do you think Xuvvie would help me with shading and stuff?

Xuvvie would definitely help - she's been a huge help to me :)

I'll help if I can too Kirin although my skill level is not as good as Xuvvie XD

Just going to keep practicing.

..ahh... Am I being oversee or mistaken as somebody else? O_O

I am in here already. XD LOL.

Think you are being mistaken.... though you are more then welcome to stay and chat.

Nice squares!! When you save the file in Paint see if you can change the file type to .png so it doesn't alter your all your hard work. I learned the hard way. :<
Here's a tutorial on DeviantArt.
