Pixel Art Curves - Level 2

You can get all kinds of curves from segments of circles and ovals of different sizes.

All specialized pixel art software has tools to create circles and ovals so you get perfect curves.

Use guides and the shift key to have perfect circles.

Pixel Art Curves - Level 1

Use segments of circles to obtain curves, small circles for tight curves and large circles for open curves.

Utiliza segmentos de círculos para obtener curvas, círculos pequeños para curvas cerradas y círculos grandes para curvas abiertas.

Pixel Art Diagonal Lines - Level 3

By moving a diagonal line pixel by pixel you can notice how the dominance of pixels at the next angle emerges with greater presence while maintaining a harmonic pattern.

Al mover una linea diagonal pixel por pixel pueden notar como la dominancia de pixeles del siguiente angulo va surgiendo con mayor presencia manteniendo un patrón armónico.

Pixel Art Diagonal Lines - Level 2

To obtain diagonal lines in pixel art it is better to use a software like Piskel, although not all the segments are the same, they always follow a constant pattern.

The different segments that make up a diagonal line in pixel art vary according to their length and angle.

Pixel art needs perfection to look good, the pattern of the segments that make up a straight line must be constant.

Pixel Art Diagonal Lines - Level 1

Increase the number of pixels horizontally or vertically to obtain an angle closer to 90°, 180°, 270° or 360° degrees.

Aumenta el número de píxeles horizontal o verticalmente para obtener un ángulo más próximo a 90°, 180°, 270° o 360° grados.
