making pixel art
Here is my method to making pixel art from jpegs.
First off, I want to remind everyone that I’m using Adobe Photoshop CS4. You can use anything you would like, but I recommend something that has the layers function. Don’t worry if you don’t know what that is. I will be explaining later on how it fits into the pixilation process.
Now then, just look for a picture you want to use. It can be anything, whether you found it on your computer or you looked for in on the internet. I almost always use the Sankaku Channel. Warning:this site is not safe for the underage. You can also just use Google Images or any of your favorite websites. I do also recommend using a picture that has similar colors to the blocks in Minecraft because the end result will look much better.
I’m going to go with this (I’m going to get screwed over because of the colors on this one).
