1. Introduction<\/h2>\n

Hello everybody! I will teach you how to do the pixelization effect in Gimp for drawing look like an retro game and will be shown according with the drawing (img. 1) I did in GIMP. This time the tutorial will only in this site instead of video because I’m currently working on another new video for the channel.
\n<\/p>\n

\"APixelated<\/a>

Pixelated art of Takery.<\/p><\/div>\n

2. First step<\/h2>\n

Well, without further ado, create a new GIMP project!<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>

New Image. (File > New)<\/p><\/div>\n

Create a project with the desired dimensions, in which case I used 1920 x 1080 on my drawing.<\/p>\n

3. Drawing<\/h2>\n

This part is just a quick “making of”. I’ll tell a bit what I did this drawing and it will include the use of Blender software. First I used Blender to render the character with lines and fills Freestyle separately. For the drawing I used, got thickness 5.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The outline of the Freestyle separated from the filling.<\/p><\/div>\n

After that, I dragged the two images and fix some traits.<\/p>\n

\"Images<\/a>

Images inserted in each layer in Gimp.<\/p><\/div>\n

The background, I simply drew the brush behind the character in several layers.<\/p>\n

\"Background<\/a>

Background drawn.<\/p><\/div>\n

4. Pixelization<\/h2>\n

Pixelation is a simple filter that blurs an image in the form of pixel similarly used in Photoshop as “Mosaic” filter. To use this feature, simply access the top menu:<\/p>\n

Filters > Blur > Pixelize<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Window<\/a>

Window of filter Pixelize<\/p><\/div>\n

In it defines the size of the pixels, both in width and in height. In this tutorial, we will apply this filter with dimensions 10 x 10.<\/p>\n

\"Layer<\/a>

Layer of the filling pixelated.<\/p><\/div>\n

After that, you can repeat the filter with the same settings by pressing Ctrl+F<\/strong> in each layer. But a question still remains: is more worthwhile Pixelate layer by layer or give the same joining the layers and Pixelate then? So I created a group and booked layers in it, then duplicated and did a Merge the copied group. Then I painted a blue circle on one layer and another red, then cut the top layer. So comparing to conclude that gives the result is the same.<\/p>\n

\"Layer<\/a>

Layer by layer method on the left and merge on the right. There is no difference in the outcome.<\/p><\/div>\n

5. Final<\/h2>\n

On the first image shown in the tutorial, we realized that was made a few color adjustments to become more beautiful. So that’s it! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
