How to make pixel art on smartphones and tablets

We have a tablet and we want to use it to make a beautiful drawing in model pixel art facile? Does our smartphone have a very large screen and we want to use it to draw? In this case, I recommend you try the Pixel Studio app right away , available for free for Android and for iPhone / iPad .

By downloading this app we will get all the tools necessary to create the image in pixel art format, with no margin for error. To use it, all we have to do is create a new project, choose values ​​such as the size and color of the background, then tap the Create button to start creating pixel by pixel. In addition to the traditional drawing tools, Pixel Studio allows you to create multiple layers, by pressing the + icon at the bottom, so you can create really beautiful overlapping pixel art drawings.

As an alternative to Pixel Studio we can also try the dotpict app , also available for free for Android and for iPhone / iPad .

By opening this app we will get a very simple interface with which to draw drawings in pixel art by filling a space full of squares and choosing from time to time which color marker to use. At the end of the work we can immediately share the result on social networks or on the most common chats and, if we are not particularly inspired, we can also browse the gallery of images shared publicly by other designers, so that we can find the creativity to draw in pixel art.

Making drawings in pixel art still requires a good drawing experience, since we will have to draw pixel by pixel until we create a complete drawing, which is not obvious. Using the programs and apps that we have illustrated in this guide, we can immediately start drawing in pixel art for free, so as to accumulate the necessary experience to make drawings gradually more and more beautiful.
