  • Was looking for a good ink drawing to recreate as pixel art, and found my own ink drawing from 2011. I believe I have improved somewhat since that time. There’s also a process video. 200 x 200 pixels. According to Apple Screen Time it took me 2h34m to draw.

  • I’m not very good at planning. Animators are supposed to plan ahead. So I end up with a mess.

    animated pixel art of schematic dog running
  • Animation is such a different beast, and it is sooo time consuming on an iPad. Unfortunately, this is only traced, not animated.

  • I might be over-analyzing this cartoon drawing a teensy tiny bit. The idea is to make an animation out of it, using some real mutt running, inspired by the work of the great Eadward James Muybridge.

    Next up, a running skeleton of a real mutt, and apply that to the cartoon mutt’s skeleton.

  • This took quite some time, and I used a “Muybridge cheat” to speed things up. It’s called Z’brah, for obvious reasons. No? The pattern on the cube is based on zebra striping. I suppose not so obvi. Well, it kept me on the straight and narrow while it was being made.

  • If I’m correct, the woman runner in the photo is Claudia Gelsomino in her 2014 New York Marathon. Doing these more realistic pixel art drawings is tough, yet rewarding.

  • Using this reference I drew this baboon, using a bit of tracing to get the rough proportions correct. 200 by 200 pixels, 12 colors.

  • Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s April Showers, drawn in Game Boy compatible pixel art.

  • Using this as my reference I drew a road race car. Perspective is always a hassle, so I took quite some liberties. I expect my next will be much better, with this one under my belt.

  • A bed seems simple enough to draw in isometric perspective, until you actually do it, as I did. I need more pixels, but that’s silly, since seasoned pixel artists do not, although they do need more colors. Also, funny how details get lost in downscaling.

  • Did some random characters.
