Love Mario? Love pixel art? Then let's combine the two! This guide will help you create your own fantastic Mario pixel art, even if you're a beginner.
First, start with the basics. Think about the iconic Mario pose you want to recreate – jumping, running, or maybe even a classic fireball throw! Use grid paper or pixel art software (like Piskel or Aseprite). Start with a low resolution, such as 16x16 or 32x32, for simplicity.
Next, block out the main shapes: head, body, arms, and legs. Use a consistent color palette focusing on Mario's classic red, blue, and brown. Don't be afraid to experiment! Add shading to give your art depth. A darker shade of each color works wonders.
Finally, refine the details. Round out the edges, add details like his mustache and buttons. Most importantly, have fun and don't be afraid to get creative! Share your Mario pixel art creations online and inspire others! Get ready to level up your artistic skills.
