First of all, I am a rookie, in recent days to do some pixel map, got some friends praise, in this to thank you for my support. A lot of friends want me to do a similar tutorial things like to understand the pixel rendering method, I also just touch the pixel, the tutorial is not, just to tell a friend I know the knowledge.

1, what is pixel.

Draw this naturally to know what a pixel graph is. Computer graphics divided into vector maps and bitmaps (pixel map) two kinds.

Vector diagram:

Pixel map:

The difference is that vector graphs are based on mathematical formulas, so they can be magnified infinitely. Pixel graphs are made up of dots, so you can see the magnified dots [], and these points become pixels [pixel], like Sotu creations need to be dotted.

2. Advantages

Because it's made up of tiny dots, I think it's best suited to use on electronic devices with LCD screens. as follows:

Handheld games, do not doubt all the handheld game, Gameboy or anything is a pixel map, of course, my star also belongs to this category.

computer screen: Desktop icons, Web gif, QQ show, fonts and so on.

Mobile phone: Mobile phone battery, signal and other pictures are.

Toy: There is no feeling Lego toys are like pixels.

3. Tools

Unlike vector graphics, special tools are required. pixels only need to [start]>[All Programs]>[attachment]>[paint], not kidding. The simplest is the most effective, this free, no need to install and crack green software. If the complex creation or the use of Photoshop, the function of many advantages, the minimum version can be. Of course, pixels are also divided into many classes, need different tools, I only introduce the above two kinds of software. Pixels do not require technology and need to be careful.

4. Examples of basic elements

In PS the tool is the Pencil tool. The navigator is better to zoom in to 400%

Point:

Line:

Angle:

Surface:

Tips: Common lines can be set to brushes, select lines > Edit > Define Brush presets. When you use the Pencil tool, you will see the end of the list in the right key.

5. Font

Naturally, fonts need to appear in graphics. This does not need your trouble, have a special font, recommend a few.

English

Chinese

Friendship tip: If the font does not want to deform, must multiply. such as the English font above examples are 8th, the amplification will become 16th, and so on, of course, the graphic is also so.

6, here are some examples to illustrate

Example 1: First to teach you to draw a MP3, later have time to write a "tutorial", there is no fixed way to see their own habits, only to demonstrate the process I do.

Usually 640*480 is enough.

Zoom in to 400%, select the Pencil tool or press the keyboard.

To draw a selection of pen on the new transparent layer, set to 1 pixels.

It is convenient to draw several lines and save them as pen.

Select Line > Edit > Define Brush presets.
