In paint tool sai it's a brush called 'Binary' , it's a specific pixel brush
but I think it depends on the program you're using

here is a tutorial for firealpaca, it already has a brush, you just need to change the settings a bit ; v ;

dpi makes no difference for creating pixel art, it's more like how many pixels there are in one inch when printing, but you normally don't print pixels
so basically it doesn't matter : v :

what program do you use to make your pixel art?
and is it free?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use Paint Tool Sai for drawing/pixeling, it's not free though
but for pixel art the program doesn't really matters, every program with a binary brush (pixel brush) is totally fine because that's all you need to pixel
I'd recommend free programs like Krita, Gimp, Graphicsgale or paint.net c:

This is so helpful! i was wondering how you resized the image though?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it depends on the program you're using ; v ;

For Sai go to the menu called "Canvas" in the top left corner -> go to change resolution and change it there :>
for icons you need 50x50 pixel size

Helpful! Did you make this in SAI? I made icons back then but at that time I used MS Paint, but I could certainly use the layers function. Do you have a specific tool that only draws one pixel? As my brushes are messy and stuff
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I made it in sai~
the pixel tool is called "binary" brush, it's normally there by standard :>

Thank you so much for the info! ^^

I use phothoshop cs5 for that step
basically you pixeled all the frames beforehand (eyes have their own layer so you can change them more easily) and you just need a program that can animate to put all of the frames together to make a gif out of it
here is a little tutorial that will help you ; v ;
