PLEASE GIVE A TUT ON HOW TO MAKE PIXELS I AM BEGGING YOU

HKEGDUSHDGDGD okay this is gonna probably be really overexplained since i talk a lot BUT ITS VERY EASY tuto under cut

What i personally do is start on picsart with a blank canvas (make sure its a perfect square, anything like 700x700, 400x400 whatever), What i do is use some of the cute stickers i can find by using certain search terms and rotate/move it to each frame id want it to be, picsart lets u see where its centered or not so its a lot easier than just winging it

this would be so much easier to explain if picsart allowed me to take screenshots on this DAMN PHONE!

But anyway save each frame to whatever ur using and go to Ezgif.com's gif maker to combine those frames together :3 theres a delay option on the bottom of each frame u saved, i usually set that from around 50-80 so it doesnt go too fast

Once u set that and u have ur frames in order, remember to set THIS option

And then u click "make gif" at the bottom and horray :3 u can still edit things on the page if u might not like it

Once u get the finishing gif, u can save it as the original size (if youd like to have an extra), and go to Resize at the bottom

U should get to this, what i do is make the width and length 60x60 or 80x80 but it doesnt really matter tbh, if u want it bigger or smaller then go ahead

Disregard everything else after that and click Resize image :D and boom we did it

Both original and teeny size IF I DIDNT MAKE SENSE THATS TOTALLY MY BAD but i hope this helps😅😅😅 maybe..

ok but howww are you so good at night time / dark lighting ur paintings always look so atmospheric and moody and i STRUGGLE with it. any tips?

Sorry for the late reply bro. I was wondering how to formulate this as I just do things without thinking about "steps" lol. Keep in mind that I do everything in Paint Tool SAI ver.2 so: -First do your drawings as your normaly do, with background etc. I always use dark, dull palettes so I have no idea how this is going to work on lighter, colorful palettes for example. - After that, I usually just play with the lighting and shadows on an extra layer above the finished drawing. I always use "Overlay" mode on that layer

-For the shadows I never use black, but a very dark gray. For the lighting I use pure white or any shade of light color. This will always depend on the color you want the lights in your drawing (I use the airbrush to distribute the color where I want it).

-You can create a lot of new layers with the overlay mode, and keep playing with shadows and lights until the result is to your liking. Remember that you should always try to adjust a bit with the "color changing" options, and also always adjust the opacity until it's harmonious.

-Then I just merge all the extra layers together with the original drawing (from bottom to top) and make final adjustments. In these final adjustments, I usually decrease or increase the contrast and brightness in this option:

-After that, I just finish by adding textures over the drawing. Another tip is that I usually darken the canvas' edges with the airbrush, creating a vignette effect. This should also help with the "atmospheric" feeling. Remember that you can go wild. I hope this tutorial was helpful in some way, even if it was very poorly planned lmao

Ocker’s Circular Cast-On.

Make a loop near the yarn end. (I have the tail under the loop here, but I don’t think this is vital.)

Using a crochet hook, *chain one into the loop with the working yarn. (The first chain looks the worst, having no firm structure yet, but only temporarily.)

Chain one into the new chain stitch. Leave the stitch on the crochet hook and continue.*

Repeat * to * until you have the number of stitches you need.

Transfer stitches to DPNs (or another knitting needle as called fro by whatever you’re working on; sometimes I use this cast-on as a really short/gathered cast-on for flat knitting, and in those cases, the pattern instructions will call for you to work flat). Incidentally, this step can be made much easier if you’ve got crochet hooks that are built like a straight smooth stick, with no ergonomics or ornamentation—you can just slide the stitches off the non-hooked end to transfer to the relevant needle.

Once that’s done, pull the tail drawstring-style (be kind of gentle with a delicate yarn) to draw the center together, and you’ve got a nice beginning for work from the center out!

(I’m going to pull mine apart. You may be able to see why. It’s completely unfinished yarn, but it’s been on the bobbin so long the twist is pretty inert.)
