Description Photoshop..pixel art.. I don't know.
Anyway, from time to time, I read about people not fully sure about dithering, and asking for tutorials, so I thought I'd get in on the act, make one and get no cash in return.. it's win-win for you!

Well, these are really basic tutorials to help you get started, but the key is to keep at it.
I started off small, working off little man templates, slowly branching out.

Skull-X In reply to Bloo-Ocean [2007-08-04 10:30:12 +0000 UTC]

I don't believe you will.
Dither is the term used for the technique of placing pixels in certain patterns to merge colours together smoother. It's manual.
Some programms have dither brushes, I'm not sure which ones exactly, but basically, you have to take time and do it yourself. OR do a little and copy and paste.

Skull-X In reply to Dshark [2006-08-17 13:30:50 +0000 UTC]

Usually a 2x1 pixel view. There's a good tutorial here - [link]

Or 1x1 - [link]

Hope it helps, sorry, I'm just a little busy to write something up myself

Skull-X In reply to Dshark [2006-08-18 18:08:30 +0000 UTC]

Oooh.. I get you now. To be honest, I'd adives against it, unless it's at an angle facing towards you, but in any case, it's just the same methods.
