How To Make A Pixel Guide

1) To start of you open MS Paint which most computers come with already downloaded in.

2) Take the Magnify glass in paint and on the Left Side Tool Bar a size thing manager will be there. Click Size 8, that way you pixel will end up being easier to see.

3)Next you make the outline of your Pixel. Using the Pencil, with any color you like, start outlining what will become the pixel like the following picture is.

P.S. Try not to get different pencil colors like mine did for the outline. I didnt mean to do that but It lost format when I saved it.

3)Next will be shading. Start with base colors. Then you can go in and add lighter and darker shades to get more of an effect. You can Darken the edges by going a shade darker by going to the top of paint-clicking color-next click Edit Colors-then Define Cutom Colors-then choose the color you want and click Okay. And you’ll have the color you picked. You can also add another outline thats lighter too, and just mess around with it and eventually It’ll look nice. Also, You can add a little white dot on top of the Cherry to add a little extra kick and you can add pink cheeks!
