HOW TO MAKE PIXEL ART USING ILlUSTRATOR

 

Assalamualaikum Wr.wb

Halo, in here I want to explain to you how to make pixel art in Adobe Ilustrator

MAKE THE CANVAS

First, you have to make the canvas. I recommend you to make a square canvas, in here, I use 500×500 pixel.

MAKE THE GRID

Then to make the grid,right-click on the Line segment tool and choose Rectangular grid tool.

Click anywhere on the canvas, the options should be there.

Set the default size to be the same size as the canvas

Choose the number of your divider, you can pick 500 divider,but I think that is too small to work with, so I choose 50 for both divider.

Align the grid with the canvas

If you want to look the grid, change the colour of the stroke

START MAKING ART

Click the grid and click the “Live Paint Bucket” or use  “K” in keyboard for shortcut, then click the grid again

Pick the colour you want

Click and hold then begin to draw

To make pixel art, you must be careful,beside that you must be patience about it.

SEPERATING ART FROM THE GRID

After you finish that and you are happy with it, next step is right-click the grid and choose “Ungroup”

Go to “Pathfinder” then hit “Divide” , the grid is now below the drawing

Now click “Magic Wand”, choose the grid and delete it.

Now you have your pixel art.

 

Thanks for watching I hope this tutorial help you

And Wassalamualikum Wr.Wb
