I made this Jungle Cat Character to test out animations. The reference image’s scale is separate from my pixel art, so I can be more accurate to my original sketch art with less editing. One thing that I love about Pixaki that I don’t see from other pixel art programs, is the ability to put a reference layer of my higher res art! Tap “Load Palette” and you’ll go to the File Manager where you can search for where you saved your. Palettes save in your files and set as defaults when you open them, so that’s good.Ī good palette to import is the Shovel Knight NES Palette! You can’t go wrong with the palette of one of the largest indie pixel games of all time! PNG image, and make the swatches by hand with the Eyedropper Tool. GPL files, which is a pain in the butt if import from places like Lospec. Pixaki doesn’t seem to have pressure sensitive brushes, so I can’t do much of my paint style that I do in Aseprite. It has Pixel Perfect brush toggle for if I need precise lines. The first thing I decided to draw in Pixaki is a selfie! When you don’t know what to draw, You can’t go wrong with a selfie. Other than being able to slide panels in and out for use, the interface isn’t customizable. Most of my important stuff is on the right, such as layers and animation tools. It’s closest to my general digital art workspace. Aseprite doesn’t have the ability to save sprite sizes, so, I’m letting this slide. Sometimes I need to work with alternate canvas sizes for different projects. I’m miffed that I can’t save more canvases. The first thing I like about Pixaki is that it has many screen canvases as a default. With Pixaki, I want a good portable option that I can trade between the two programs for faster pixel art output. I do most of my pixel artwork for personal and game art in Aseprite. With the extra money I had, I invested in Pixaki 4 Pro, a $30 USD app on the Apple App Store. From learning pixel art in Procreate I found my efforts limited.
