Q&A for How to Use Pixilart

If you are using Google, you move your cursor onto your profile pic and then click. A little box should appear and a little thing on your profile pic should say "Change." After you hit that, your file tab should open. Select the photo you want and hit "Select."

Go to Settings, Click "Friends" and then click "Add new." Enter the email address of the person you want to friend and then their username.

Upon opening a drawing, there will be a option with three dots. If you click that button, you can then press the words “Edit Drawing”. Just make sure that after you finished editing, you use the save feature.

When looking at the photo, you will see a button that looks like two arrows going in a square or circle shape. If you hover over it, it will say repost. Click on it, and it will ask you if you want to repost it. Click yes, and it will work!

On the home page, there will be a widget that says Daily Drawing Challenge, and the prompt. Below, there will be a button saying "start drawing". Click on this. When posting the art, make sure in the description it says #challenge. When you look at the hashtag you might not see your art, but it's definitely there!

Reporting should be anonymous, unless you write your name in the report discription.

If you go into the “contests” tab, there should be a button saying “create contest”.

If there is no create group button, try refreshing your browser or if you are using the app, check it for updates or reinstall it.

Press the layer button on the right hand side of the screen, then press the add button which appears as a +.

If your tablet is an iPhone or iPad, you should be able to access Pixilart’s services. Make sure you have the newest update, though.

Once you have clicked on the text button, click on the tool button on the side of the drawing space. At the top of this 'tool' space, there should be an option to change the font.

You just need to click the checkbox up the top left corner. Alternatively, right clicking whilst using the darken tool also lightens the drawing.

Yes, just search for a pastel colour palette when you create your design. Otherwise you can use the colour selector tool to choose pastel colours that you like. Some of the normal colours that show up are probably considered pastel as well, since it has some nice light colours when you look through the main colour menu.

Press the "File" button up the top right, then at the bottom of the dropdown it should say "Import Photo". Click that button and upload the image you want to use.

To remove a frame, tap on the tab labeled "gif frames", select the frame you wish to delete, and press the bin icon in the controls tab.

In the top of the drawing area, there will be a button with the name of 'Save Image'. If you have default settings on Pixilart, then it will automatically save the gif, including the transparent part to your drive/computer.

You most likely won't get banned since there is no policy against it and there is an image tracer tool available to use, but it ruins the purpose of creating pixel art and many artists frown upon it. If you do find yourself tracing other art, be sure you give credit to which image you copied off from as basic art etiquette.

When you go to Pixilart's website and reach the home page, there will be a pop-up on the side that gives the daily drawing challenge of the day. Click on "Start Drawing" if you are interested, and it will direct you to the drawing page to create your pixel art.

You can post your drawings by clicking on the "Save Drawing" button on the top of the right side of the page. There will then be an option to post it publicly or privately, depending on your preference. After you save your changes, it will be posted.
