Questions and answers

How do I draw bug pixel art on graph paper?

Take a graph paper notebook and markers. Find the top filled square of the picture, count where it goes on your page and fill in the squares row by row, checking the picture as you go.

What is the easiest bug pixel art?

The ladybug: it uses only two colors, red and black. Next try the snail and the caterpillar, and save the bee, the dragonfly and the beetles for later, since they have more small details.

How do I draw a symmetrical beetle in pixel art?

First draw a light pencil line down the middle and fill in one half of the beetle. Then mirror the other half, counting the squares from the middle line, so the legs and spots match on both sides.
