#pixel art guide

I just read through your pinned post and now I'm compelled to ask how you do your pixel style in Clip Studio? correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's SO COOL how you're able to achieve that style on a larger canvas LOL!! I've tried to mess around with my brush settings but for some reason I can never get it to be sharp enough haha

Ho hooo! I can help you with that!!

Pixel Art in Clip Studio Guide

Create your canvas! The trick is you need to work on a REALLY SMALL canvas to get a pixelated look. A 3DS screen is 320x240 pixels, so I make my canvas this size. If you need bigger pixels, work on an even smaller canvas!

1. Change your unit to pixels

2. Type in your canvas size

3. Click OK

Now we need to tell our brushes to keep their hard edges. I just change this on my pen and eraser because I don’t use much else when creating pixel art.

4. Click on your tool

5. Choose Tool Property

6. Choose the first setting under Anti-Aliasing

Proceed to draw whatever you like!! Blue volunteered, I swear!

Once you’re done we’ll need to export the art. There’s a few settings we’ll need to change, otherwise your pixels will be blurry like this:

Our device screens try to help terribly small images look better by smoothing out the pixels. There’s just not enough pixels for the screen to show you the image correctly. So we’ll add more!

7. Click Edit

8. Click Change Image Resolution

We’ll be scaling the image up! The goal is to get your pixel dimensions up to around 1000 pixels since that’s plenty of pixels for your modern screen to work with.

9. Change your scale (I stick with even numbers and typically go with 4. If you work on a smaller canvas, you’ll definitely need a higher number.)

10. Choose Hard Edges (nearest neighbor) for your interpolation method. (I can explain this in detail to those interested)

11. Click OK

Now you’re good to go to export your pixel art! You’ll be able to tell by checking your canvas size by your file name. You’re free to export your image how ever you like!

I hope this helped @rileymorph!
