Completely awesome! =O.O= It's hard to imagine, but you probably don't even need to look at a pixel guide anymore. :P I'm sure you zoom right through it like you were typing it... except it takes a lot longer. XP I suppose my 6* doesn't even matter at this point, haha!

i saw the mouse pointer arrow on the pic, and thought it was mine, i started to panick, moving my touchpad faster and faster and it wouldnt move :| i realised.... yes.. that it was not my actual mousey pointer arrow thing.

Commented by Draw4life327

This is awesome! I'm so keeping this available so i can use it on my drawings! Although i wouldn't consider this art, it's deffinitly useful and contributes to the art of others so they can make theirs better. So I rate this a 6! XD

Awesome Tutorial.

But the easy way of doing is to - ZOOM IN all the way, then instead of using the brush tool use circle tool.
Using this method, you don't have to worry about Step 2 and Step 3 of this tutorial.

wow cool it took me a while to figure out why there were giant letters but then i figured out thats the pixels then i figured out how u do it :3
Commented by sniper555
Date: Sat, Jun 28 2008
This is great!
Another good way is to use the circle tool on size one to make a pixel ^_^

people! look at the starting time and ending time and there's your answer as to how long it took.
and by the way, lotus, there is no 'brush' tool. do you mean pen?

oh, and you should totally do the numbers as well.
