Pixel Art Instructions

Pixels

Pixels of a particular colour are sold by the Pixel Square. A Pixel Square includes 140 pixels. The colour number of each pixel square is located on the back of the square. During assembly each pixel is pulled off and pushed onto the baseplate using tweezers.

Pixel Squares

Pixels are small plastic tiles which come in 312 colours (click here for full colour chart). The moulding process creates a soft plastic tile that has a matt, slightly bevelled finish, which creates a lovely textured finished product. Each pixel has a hole in the back which allows it to be pushed onto the baseplate.

Baseplates

Baseplates are 4" x 5" (10.16 cms x 12.7 cms) and are made of clear plastic. Each baseplate has pegs that hold the pixels. There are 2000 pegs per baseplate to make up the design. When the pixels are pushed on next to each other they create a snug fit.
Please note:- Baseplates have an arrow on the back which can be used to know which way round the baseplate goes if it is taken off the pattern. If the arrow is always kept in the same direction it will also make is easier to align the baseplates when the design is finished.

Design Sheets

The design sheets are the pattern for the picture, each design sheet has two design rectangles on it with symbols inside. Next to each design rectangle is a code for matching the symbols to their corresponding number. The symbols in each design rectangle remain the same, however, as you move your baseplate through the design rectangles the colour number changes.

READY TO BEGIN ...

1) Sort your pixels into numerical order.

2) Locate page 1 of the design sheets.

3) Place the baseplate over the top rectangular box.

4) Using the baseplate number and symbol key to the right of the rectangular box, find your first colour (this is the square symbol and the pixel number is located on the back of the pixels).

5) Using either your fingers or tweezers, remove a pixel from the pixel square and position it on the peg of the baseplate over the corresponding symbol.

6) Press the pixel firmly into place using your fingers so as not to damage the pixel. Repeat steps 5 and 6 covering the remaining square symbols (see picture 1).

7) Put away your used colour and locate the next colour using the number alongside the next symbol (circle). Cover all of the circles with the new colour (see picture 2).
