Pixel art in Photoshop



 Today I have been working in Photoshop to make pixel art for sprites.

To do this I have used a few tools to add shape, tone, and texture.
To start with I had to make the file 32 by 32 PPI. I could have used any power of 2 as that is what the restitution go up in. (16, 32, 64, 128, 256)

After that, I started to make the shape using the pencil tool. I had to use the pencil too because it makes a hard line instated of clouring colouring and spreading to other pixels. After making the basic shape I use the pencil tool again to colouring in the lines and go over them. A finally I used the dodge and burn tool to add shading and texture to my artwork. I did have a few problems with finding the correct colour for the meat cleaver which as made it very poor and low quality.

Making Meshes For AI

Today to make our world feel alive, I am constructing some characters (meshes) to act as civilians in our world.

I'm writing this section two days after I wrote the first section. This is because the meshes refused to import into Unreal. I tried multiple things such as exporting it to Maximo and 3ds max, none of this worked. I finished the day completely drained and annoyed that I couldn't finish it or even make any progress.
