Pixel Art in Scratch Technique #1 - Very easy using the "pixellate" effect.. Technique #2: - Pixellate using the costume editor, use the dragon for example: - 1] Make sure it is in Bitmap mode Click "Convert to Bitmap" mode if necessary 2] Select the whole dragon with a select box. 3] Shrink it down using the corner resize tool to pretty small 4] click away, then reselect and re-enlarge Voila! hopefully now you have a pixellated dragon. Technique # 3 - Draw your own! Select create new sprite from Scratch. In the costume editor "click convert to Bitmap" if not already in Bitmap mode. Zoom in a lot! Select Paintbrush and set size to 1. Draw your pixelart or pixelart character. Use the sprite size control to bring it back to normal size on screen.
