Pixel – Consulate Building
Lately I’ve been inspired by some people’s pixel artwork and felt like making some of my own pixel art.
I decided to create the New Zealand Consulate Building that is featured in the comedy TV show Flight of the Conchords which I’ve recently enjoyed watching.
The artwork was created in Photoshop using the 1px pencil tool. I used a few keyboard shortcuts that helped speed the process such as holding down ALT to alternate from pencil tool to colour picker and since there were a few mirroring involved I decided to assign a shortcut for the Flip horizontal and Flip vertical command.
I’ve really enjoyed creating the image and adding all the little pixel details in. I like the retro look that pixel art achieves with its vibrant colours and bold lines.
