Pixel Design

Part 1 Sketch Pixel Art Design

I can plan a pixel art installation using grid paper.

I can duplicate or alter a pixel art design.

Tips for Selecting A Reference Image

No grid lines... will be difficult to translate onto graph paper.

Image is too big... count the number of grid spaces on the worksheet.

Too many similar colors... you have a limited color palette. This image has too many variations of red.

Perfect! I have grid lines, the design will fit on the window, and the colors will work with the available color palette.

Keep in mind that there is a 2-inch gap between windows. Incorporate this into your design.
