Draw pixel art

Draw pixel art

Draw with pencils, fills, gradients and shape tools. Refine details with selections and custom brushes, add text, and use symmetry or tiled previews.

Where to start

  • Create or open a sprite in the editor, then choose a pencil, fill or shape tool from the toolbar.
  • Open View → Symmetry Options for mirrored drawing, or View → Tiled Mode to preview a repeating pattern.
  • Use selections to restrict edits. Edit → New Brush turns the selected artwork into a brush.

Using and saving

These drawing tools work on still images and animation frames. See Layers and colors to organize artwork and choose colors.
