8-Bit characters and animations in Adobe photoshop
Open Photoshop
and create a new document 1) set width 30 PIXELS and height to 30 PIXELS and resolution to 72ppi (something close to that size is fine) 2) Zoom in to fill screen, 3) Select the Pencil Tool, set brush size to 1 Pixel Begin to draw your icon, use different colors and paint your image in pixel by pixel pro-tip: holding alt/option let's you pick the same color you click on For mine I found a reference picture and had it next to my Photoshop drawing as I clicked into each pixel with the correct color. |

Then, we will animate it by drawing individual frames of movement...
Make each animation cell as a different layer using duplicate layer in layers palette.
