Pixel Art in Scratch 3 Ways | Tutorial

[@Zinnea]

Did you try out any of these methods? How did it go? :D

[@teddyplayz3443]

you made my favorite game!

[@Zinnea]

@@Desgy Nice!

[@pcat-cduck800]

I followed you on scratch Zinnea

[@P_r_gon]

yes

[@metalicarus8372]

honestly method 2 feels like method 1. method 1 : simplify the image method 2 : shrink the image (simplify it) then make it bigger what's the difference ? (in one case (method 1) it's code that goes away when the project stops, in the other the image will allways be pixelated... not much really)

Hi Chris Your very helpful for scratch

[@Scratchly]

Wow i did not know converting a picture made in vector mode to bitmap mode, and then resizing, would be so good for this :D

[@joelhoon1707]

Yeah, it's a good way to make a sprite low quality too for a satire effect.

[@SammyCheez]

Great tutorial! Can’t wait to try this out!

[@winpeck2]

I watch your videos

Cool! Make sure to subscribe! What’s your favorite?

[@meredithdepaolo7971]

WOW I watch your Videos! They help a lot.

[@-CosmoCode]

Tip: On Scratch Bitmap Canvas every brush size up to 4 stays a perfect square - what I mean is that If I set my pen's size to 5 it'll become a circle made out of squares, also Funny Thing one Scratcher found: If you zoom in on vector mode, and then convert the whole drawing (it can be blank, it'll work too) to bitmap you should probably realize that our little check grey and white squares flipped their positions! =D

[@The-3XP3RT]

Thanks for the tip!

Oversimplification: *exist* Zennia: OmG eVeRiThInG lOkS sO cUtE

[@InverseOfficial]

If anyone else happens to be wanting to make pixelated lines with pen I have a pretty simple method. First part is optional, just pointing towards a coordinate using point in direction(atan(x2 - x1 / y2 - y1) + 180 * y2 < y1) Second part is the fun bit. Make a block that runs without screen refresh. The block and following code should look something similar to: Define myFunction(): Erase all t = 0 px = 2 (pixel size) Startx = xpos Starty = ypos Rotation style = don’t rotate Direction = atan(x2 - x1 / y2 - y1) + 180 * y2 < y1 Repeat n: (any number) X = startx + ((1 - t) * round(sin(dir) / px) * px) Y = starty + ((1 - t) * round(cos(dir) / px) * px) (switch costume here if you’re using stamp) Pen down or stamp t += 1 Done! This produces a cleanly pixelated line using pen, great for moving around objects in pixelated games. This can even be applied to besier curves but that is a little harder to explain.

[@BrynGriffithsVideo]

hey no being smart, its the scratch team channel

Thanks for the great tutorial (and for enabling comments)! Looking forward to more like these!

[@hor-amachan]

Wow!! This is like a Old Games!! Unbelievable!!

[@TheHydrakeHydra]

Small note for method 3: I personally use size 4 for the brush! It’s half the size of the background grey/white squares

[@zeplatypus4672]

The third method was exactly what I searched! Thanks!

[@jhansen1254]

Just saved this mornings lesson with my year 7's... Thank you Zinnea :)

I love this channel and Scratch, because Scratch it's easy to create games, animations and other things.

[@ellaxin2340]

The method where you zoom in and draw and make the sprite bigger, that's my favorite! So cute!

[@jan_sipiki]

keep the size on your pixel art the same tho

[@1UPPancake]

2:26 Just like MS Paint. XD

[@jesperanimations]

I'm going to make a pixel art style virtual town. Learned it from the Scratch team!

[@fisheatergaming]

I really like making games in scratch. I think you guys should host a scratch game jam.

[@memevoid4348]

Gam?

[@WinPeck]

What in the world is that?

[@Sandrrra2024]

I'm not sure, but it's just a guess. Probally 'game' jam. But they made it 'gam' so it rhymes with 'jam'. I'd do like, idk... 'Lame Game'? no... yeah I might've done 'gam jam'.

[@jan_sipiki]

he means game jam

[@jan_sipiki]

a competition to make a game in a short time

[@hriday684]

When I use the last way, what I usually do is to instead of increasing the sprite size, I go back to Vector Mode and enlarge the sprite. Much easier.

[@CobyTheLuckyFox]

Same

[@MAJORVBEZ]

That makes it harder to keep consistency with pixel size tho if consistency matters for the type of game

[@lil-zoned-out6532]

I do not because then I can not edit the sprite after, thank you for sharing alternate way though.

[@DogeisCut]

i think its time everyone here learns advanced pixel art design

[@cst1229]

Also that's the only method that's actual pixel art.

[@ALamp0]

"lets draw" Heyyyyy don't steal my way of drawing

[@cheerwhiner7829]

My biggest wish for Scratch is to be able to set the grid for your pixel art. So, instead of zooming in a bunch of times, the user can make an 8, 16, 32, or 64-pixel grid, and then color in each individual square. I use Scratch with my 2nd grade students, and the drawing tool is too hard for them to use. I just tell them to use your sprites. Thanks. :-)

[@simonparinas3783]
