PIXEL PAINTING FOR THE BEGINNER
OPEN PSP 7 - GO TO FILE -
NEW OR CLICK
USE THESE SETTINGS
CLICK OK
THE CANVAS IS VERY SMALL SO WE
WILL BE ZOOMING IN TO DO OUR DRAWING
CLICK YOUR ZOOM ICON
AND PLACE IT OVER YOUR CANVAS , SEE BELOW
CLICK YOUR MOUSE AND YOU WILL SEE YOUR
CANVAS GO LARGER
BELOW IS A SHOT OF WHAT WE WILL BE
AIMING FOR AND I HAVE USED THE ZOOM TOOL TO ENLARGE IT

WHAT YOU WOULD BE WORKING WITH
SO ITS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ZOOM
IN

OWN CHOICE
I HAVE MINE SET AT
BLACK - FOREGROUND
RED - BACKGROUND
TO CHANGE YOUR COLOURS PLACE YOUR
MOUSE OVER THE COLOUR PALETTE AND YOUR EYE DROPPER WILL
APPEAR , LEFT CLICK TO CHOOSE THE FOREGROUND
COLOUR AND RIGHT CLICK TO CHOOSE THE BACKGROUND COLOUR ,
NOW WE READY TO BEGIN
START DRAWING THE OUT LINE
1 PIXEL = 1 CLICK OF MOUSE
2 PIXELS TOGETHER = 2 CLICKS OF MOUSE
THIS TAKES A BIT PRACTICE BUT THE
IMAGE WE ARE MAKING IS MOSTLY STRAIGHT LINES WHICH WILL
MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO LEARN THE BASICS
USE YOUR UNDO TOOL TO REMOVE A
PIXEL
YOU CAN ALSO USE YOUR ERASER TOOL
TO UNDO ANY MISTAKES
TRY TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS

GOING TO FILL IN THE BOXES

ANIMATION OR
