Open up Photoshop and start your drawing like normal. COLOR: Restricting the art to 4 gray tones Is the answer a Photoshop plugin? A standalone app? A custom script? Probably, but here’s something easier and cheaper. What I need is a way to see what my pixels are going to be *while* I’m drawing my lines, so I can make adjustments on the fly. It’s draining to have to redo something I already put a bunch of work into. I don’t know about you, but if I want to keep the pixeling process enjoyable and relaxing, I need to be kept in the flow as much as possible. So you go back to your full size drawing, make some changes, and really *really* hope this time it’ll work as you go through that resizing and recoloring process all over again. The pixel grid decided to not cooperate today because you didn’t plan your drawing on graph paper like the old masters. The whole face needs redoing at a more pixel-friendly angle. You’re almost done fixing up the pixels but oh nuts, that head just doesn’t work – the angle of the mouth doesn’t fit well in the pixel grid, you can’t find a way to make the curve of the jaw look right, and the nose is too high up but it looks too long if it’s nudged down a pixel. The drawing translates well and the cleanup goes quickly. Like me, you prefer to draw your character as line art first and then shrink it down to pixels using the grayscale index method. Here’s the problem: you’ve mostly got the spriting process down. Live resize: real-time pixeling as you draw line art
