Ok we are ready to start.
REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
NOTE: We will be doing this pixel slightly differently to my other pixels as we will be doing an area of outline and fills before moving onto the next area.
Step 1: - Head Outline
We will be starting with the outline using the count shown below
We will also be doing different areas on separate layers so please pay attention to the instructions.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
The counts in pink are the pixel spaces between the lines, so you can line them up properly.
The outlines below have been resized a lot so you can see them clearly.
Open a new image 200 x 200 and fill with white so you can see what you are working on.
Add a new raster layer and name it "Head".
Select the brush tool with the following settings.
Size: 1 - Hardness, Opacity and Density: 100
Zoom in to about 800% - 1000%
Set your foreground to colour 1 on the colour chart (#44351E) and start at the top of his head. Change the colours as you go.
The inner face is colour 2 (#C7A275) the eyes, mouth and nose are colour 1 (#44351E) and the inner eye is colour 3 (#000000)
