We all know how to create a pixel version of ourselves now...
But how can we take our work to the next level?
Hue: this describes the colour you are using
In this picture, I use only one hue for all of my skin.
Tint: when white is added to a colour to make it feel softer, or lighter
In this picture, I use one hue for my skin.
I also use this technique for my hair, eyes, and each piece of clothing.
But I also created 3 different shades of that hue.
Hue: this describes the colour you are using
Shade: when black is added to a colour to make it feel darker, or heavier
Professional graphic artists use even more shades and hues.
Can you see where I used a tint in this picture?
Shades and Tints
Tints and shades make a character look more 3 dimensional, and also show where the light is coming from.
Can you tell where the light is coming from in this picture?
Use what you already know to create a pixelized (full body) version of yourself.
Your Task
Add tints and shades to make your picture look more realistic.
Hints and Details
How to create tints and shades
Use the “edit colors” function in Paint to create different shades and tints.
Pick the colour you like from the palette, and then use the slider to add tint or shade.

Size of page
Taller characters (64 x 32) allow for more detail, but are harder to do. If you do not feel confident, stick with 32 x 32.
To change sizes, go to properties on the menu.
Next, change your width (32) and height (32 or 64).
