A basic pixel art set for beginners and experienced pixel artists.
I may publish a lot of material for regular digital art, but pixel art is my first love. This little kit is all the brushes & tools I use to make pixel art, and I hope it helps you with pixel art too. <3
Pixel art is nice because you can create nearly anything without pen pressure or multiple layers. The portraits below were created with the [Main Dotter], the [Pressured Pixels], and the [Square Pixel] brushes.
Pixel art seems scary, but it is easier than you think. As long as you are patient with yourself you can create something wonderful with it. :D
Details of the set:
1. Main Dotter - An aliased line with no pressure. This is the most useful of all the tools, as it can do everything the other tools can, but slower.
2. Pressured Pixel - An aliased line with forgiving pen pressure. Feel free to change the pressure to what you like. Best used for drawings over 50px.
3. Square Pixel - The same as #1, but square. You can turn pen pressure on and off for a different look.
Below are sprays and noise makers. Scroll down for an example of how to use them.
5. 6px spray - for giving larger pieces texture and bumpy lineart.
6. Chonky (Chunky) 10px Spray - This one is for fun :) You can use it as a base for clouds or leaves as well.
7. Noise Maker - This is a spray that is not affected by pressure.
8. Noise Maker 2 - This spray is affected by pressure.
9. Dense Noise Maker - This is a noise maker with less of a gap. The amount of pixels is affected by pressure.
10. Square Spray & 11. Dense Square Spray - The same as 8, but with a square tip.
This toolkit also contains:
- Aliased Eraser - an eraser with gentle pressure, perfect for erasing stray pixels.
- Pixel Select & Pixel Fill - the auto-select and fill tool but modified for pixel art.
- Pixel line & Pixel Shape - Make straight lines and solid rectangles/triangles/circles quick
A few more examples, all using tools from this kit:
Noise makers are used to make texture, like so:
I also have a set for quick leaves & grass here: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1883082
As well as tile brushes for easy pattern making: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1811052
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thank you for trying out the set if you download it! :D I'm going to leave you guys with a quick messy tutorial I made on how to make a color palette:
Good luck!
