Easy Pixel Art Ideas
for Beginners

Select a simple object for your first drawing

You can start with objects with distinct exterior features, like watermelon slices, envelopes, or a small cloud. Here we use a very easy-to-distinct watermelon slice.

Easy drawing does not mean using only a little pixels. A small number of pieces and an understandable figure makes it easier to make decisions at first.

Set the outer line of the watermelon slice

First draw the flat top, then the narrowing steps downward, and check whether the right and left sides are balanced by the middle axis.

After finishing a side, examine it in a small size. In order to describe the curve, you don't have to narrow it down to the same amount; compare the overall rhythm of the steps.

Separate the shell and the fruit

Put dark green on the outside, light green on the inside of the shell, coral in the fruit section, first complete these main areas.

If the neighboring colors seem too close, change the light-soak differences, and the tone may not be enough to read the separate parts.

Add cores later

When the main form is seated, add a few dark cores, and instead of stacking them in a single region, distribute them in balance in my tongue.

Too much detail can mix shapes, so if you want a little light space, feel light, you don't have to dot all the surfaces.

Draw other objects in the same way

Try a lemon slice after the watermelon, a simple envelope or a small flag, first the main shape, then the color, then the last detail order.

First try and save the next experiment side by side, you can evaluate its development over cleaner edges, reader silhouettes and balanced colors.
