- Hi there! Ever wondered how to make pixel art in Scratch? This tutorial will show you how!
Pixel art (sometimes called 8-bit art) is an art style where each pixel is drawn individually. It's common in video games and animation, and with this tutorial, you can jump into making your own in 3 easy ways!
To try it out, just go to scratch.mit.edu/projects/editor.
We’re going to start creating more CZcams tutorials. What else would you like to learn about?

Did you try out any of these methods? How did it go? :D
you made my favorite game!
@@Desgy Nice!
I followed you on scratch Zinnea
yes
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)
**turns bird into a yellow blob**
aHh! It'S sO cUtE
I laughed WAY to hard at this
Wtf
@@R0DBS2 you didn't get the joke
that was hallarious i couldent stop laughing
Yep
3:05 with clicking as fast as that you could get through a good portion of silent circles on geometry dash
I am inevitable
This comment is actually amazing why do you only have 8 likes

no thats too slow
I didn't realize until just now that the Scratch Team had a CZcams channel! Great work, Scratch!
Cuttness team is better. Go CUTTNESS!
@@not_goldieyt no just NO
@@not_goldieyt but that is funny
Yo chipm0nk wassup
chick: gets pixilated to much
Zinnea: OmG! sO cUtE
"so cute OwO"
when you're a pixel art pro, you know that you need to follow a looooooooooooooooooot of steps to make a good one. :(

chick: had one leg, and really weird looking eyes, and no beak
zinnea: a d o r a b l e : )
I’m a programming instructor and have only recently learned about scratch. I should say that it is nothing short of a revolution in programming. Well done to all the team.
Coding With Chris hello
ThatPinkGirl this comment was in my mail
OMG!! U are here
Omg You are commenting here 😮
Hi Chris Your very helpful for scratch

*Heres a timestamp of a very satisfying click sounds that I will be addicted of.*
saame
Thank you
“To zoom in.,..A lot of times”
Thanks for the great tutorial (and for enabling comments)! Looking forward to more like these!
Great tutorial! Can’t wait to try this out!
I watch your videos
Cool! Make sure to subscribe! What’s your favorite?
WOW I watch your Videos! They help a lot.
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
Yeah, it's a good way to make a sprite low quality too for a satire effect.
I always wondered how people made Pixel Art on Scratch XD
I thought they just uploaded it
@@thiscnrgamer same
[x] Same
@Shalin Chang i share opinion
ikr, like thst game hobbs home its pixenlated
This is so cool! For a while I thought there'd be no way you could draw 8-bit in Scratch! Thanks so much!

Love the energy and style. Great work!!
The method where you zoom in and draw and make the sprite bigger, that's my favorite! So cute!
keep the size on your pixel art the same tho
Thank you for the help! I've always wanted to make a platformer with pixel art in scratch.
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
Thanks for the tip!
Small note for method 3: I personally use size 4 for the brush! It’s half the size of the background grey/white squares
Just saved this mornings lesson with my year 7's... Thank you Zinnea :)
This is really cool! I never really thought of that, but I would like to use it sometime for a small game!
The blob is so cute! :3 Love your tutorials! Inspired me to start mine owns.
I tried all of these methods! They were not confusing at all❤. They were really easy thanks zoe!
I really enjoyed this video. I like your style and how you explain the material.
thank you for these tutorials my mom just discovered this channel because i really wanted to be a programmer. Your vids just recommended from my my mother's phone then he shared me the link thank you again for these amazing scratch
I love this channel and Scratch, because Scratch it's easy to create games, animations and other things.
Im a try this out good job
The third method was exactly what I searched! Thanks!
Hi! I like the Scratch coding language! Its so simple and easy, i love it! I remember when i was little i used this to make animations.
Thanks for the tutorial! I learned something new in scratch :)
Th aka you for this video this will make it so much easier to make pixel sprites for my games!
Your tutorials are explained clear and useful!
I love bitmap getting appreciation 😁
Oversimplification: *exist*

I have been on the site for year and didn't know how to do this thank you Zinniea
Thank you so much, for all these interesting coding. Learnt a lot from you.
Thanks! I really wanted to make a classic sonic game, and that helped, thanks again scratch team!
All these methods help now no more people need to help me this person explains great
i really recommend trying it with backdrops. they work really well.
Thanks for that method because In the over videos of you you do lot's of cute charters at the very start of the video and the blob at the end teaches me how to do it and It went well
Did eneyone get ideas to from it aswell as me
i already knew how to draw pixel art so that's pretty cool
I'm going to make a pixel art style virtual town. Learned it from the Scratch team!
Cool, I have an idea for an 8-bit platformer. Thanks :D
Is there a way to snap to the grid? fill the whole square and just the square. Then do the same thing to another square
Soooo goood! Thank you Zinnea! These are such helpful tips! =)
Great tutorials thanks for sharing your knowledge with us can't wait to try this 😊😁
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.
hey no being smart, its the scratch team channel
Wow! Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot for drawing pixel art!
I dont want to use the 1 block method on sprites but for backdrops Ill start using that
If you do like -80 does it get more detailed or does it not do anything?
Thank you it helped me when I was new to scratch
I'm making a new game! and it's gonna be pixel art. This was an awsome tutorial!
Omg! I love scratch! Probably all of my friends are going to say to me HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!
Thank you so much now I know how to do pixel art on scratch
What is the number you need to do the pixels for a Atari 2600?
Thanks for the tutorial!
Epic
hi i was wondering if you could do a tutorial on making a podcast like show on scratch cuz me and my friends wanted to do a podcast for awhile but we dont know how to do it and so i was hoping you could maybe give a tutorial on making a show
Amazing Tutorial!Now i can make Pixel Games XD
I started coding classes also!!! i followed ur steps on the virtual pet! i try making ir also!!
I use all your methods you are such a big help
Thank you very much. I have an idea to make a project now!
first time trying out Scratch.. pretty cool!
Wow!! This is like a Old Games!!
Unbelievable!!
2:26 Just like MS Paint. XD
yup
Nostalgia in 4 words
and on any other pixel based paint editor.
Thank you so much I don’t do pixel art but good work I love scratch
That was very helpful!
Thank you for giving me an idea to make an other amazing game in scratch 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
I will try to do a dragon pixel, nice tutoriel !
Thank you!I love the method 3
I totally missed that!! THX!
This helped so much! Thanks!
Thanks for teaching very easily!
I have a question that is scratch addons is made by the scratch team with scratchers.
i do pixelate to backdrop but it not working how did you do that
Thanks this really helped me and also I'm making an Mario game of pixel art
Cool now I can try to make tboi item sprites
Hey Zoey, can I use your blob sprite for a game I’m working? It would be awesome to make a game about the blue blob.
I want to use pixel Japanese in scratch.
Thanks! Works amazing!
Does someone have any tips on drawing realistic pixel art? Or how To do the shading?
How to make animations on scratch? can you tell me??
I always use method 3, because I didn't know the others actually worked so well XD
This helped me :)
Thank you - It really helped me
wow this really helped thx!
at the last method you can also grab it and make it bigger. thats how i do it. only problem is that when you want to edit it you have to scale it back to the perfect size
This video was super helpful!
Thanks!
It helped a lot.
😊
Thanks!this will be helpful!
I'm new to scratch i love this
thought if i set the pen to 1 it would still be a circle
and also *_scratch foundation_* if you could add a if enter key press block
Thanks your projects are helpful 👍
Thanks for the tips :)
this is amazing! i'm trying this AS SOON AS I'M DONE WITH MY SCHOOLWORK! (I'm CodingKylietheKitty btw)
thx! it worked with me :D
Thank you, I don't know English but I still understood :) soy chilenooo
yo argentino
i think its time everyone here learns advanced pixel art design
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.
Same
That makes it harder to keep consistency with pixel size tho if consistency matters for the type of game
I do not because then I can not edit the sprite after, thank you for sharing alternate way though.
Omg this helped me so much!
Can you make sprites on MS Paint and upload them to your Scratch game?
