Pixilart

Ask your instructor for help if you need it.

1. Click the picture to the left to open PixilArt in a new tab.
2. In order to save your work online, you will need to create an account. Click the button in the upper right-hand corner to Login/Sign Up. You will still be able to draw if you don’t create an account, but you won’t be able to save online.
3. If you know your Google login and want to use it to create your account, select Connect with Google. Otherwise, you will need to enter an email address. This must be a real email address that you have access to check. PixilArt will send you a link you must use to gain access to your account.
   Find the email sent to you by PixilArt. Click the blue button in the email to continue creating your account.
4. You will need to create a username and enter your password twice. Your username should be an animal followed by a 4-digit number (ex. cobra7531, tiger8935). Your password should be the reverse of your username, number then animal (ex. 7531cobra, 8935tiger). You may write a short bio of yourself at this time (this can also be updated later). Enter your real birth date to verify your age. You do not need to enter anything if the Restricted Password field appears. You may or may not select the checkbox to receive newsletters and events, but you must select the checkbox that you agree to the terms of use and privacy policy. Then press Complete Sign up.
5. Do not go any further until you have recorded your username and password. If you are participating in person, ask for a Student Login sheet from your instructor if you haven’t already been given one. Use the form below to submit your login details electronically.
6. Press the Start Drawing button to open a blank canvas. We suggest entering either 8 or 16 for both the width and height. You can select a color palette at this time or you can create your own as you work. Press New Drawing when you are ready to begin.
7. Use the videos below to help and begin exploring the various tools to create your first piece of pixel art.

Have fun!
