Pixel Art
Last week I was introduced to the world of pixel art. I was given a quick tutorial in class and was given the task of recreating a fire hydrant in photoshop.
I created circles by drawing squares and using the marquee tool selecting the "Stroke" tool under the "Edit" dropdown menu, selecting "inside" as the location and selecting ok to create a perfect circle. To create cylinders I just simply duplicated the circle, aligned them onto op each other and connected them with two straight lines. The pixellated look is done by using the pencil tool.
I created cylinders for the base and side nozzles and circles for each for the first and second level of the fire hydrant. When it came to shading I used the halfway to black technique and applied it to the colour red in the colour picker menu. I also used the references as a guide to make sure the colours and shading were as close as possible to a perfect match.
I had fun with this assignment and creating pixel art. I feel with more practice this will become a strong skill in my arsenal.
