Today I had a pixel workshop with Jonny, in which he showed us on photoshop how to create characters using a limited number of pixels like those in video games such as Mario.
He told us to begin by creating a character with 100 pixels, then using only 60, and then 30. He showed us on Photoshop how to change the dimensions of the page so that it was measured by number of pixels.
He also informed us that for this method of work we had to use the pencil, and make sure the eraser was set to pencil to keep sharp lines.
Here are my 3 drawings of my character design for 'Haroun' from my chosen book. The first is 100x100 pixels, followed by 60x60 pixels and lastly 30x30 pixels.
We then had to take some storyboard frames from one of our other workshops and convert these into pixels. I chose the Houseboat scene from the workshop I had with Salvatore.
I really like this style, it does make the illustrations harder to follow but I think they are very unique and it is a nice style for this type of work.
