Ok, I’m currently making some pixel art in fireworks, and I have come across a major downfall of it… You cant fill properly… What i mean is, like on ms paint, you can fill a box really easily by just clicking inside of it, But because I use the line tool and it isnt really a box ( not technically ) I cant fill properly. At first I thought I might just have to group all the lines together and then try to fill, but that didnt work… So I’m kinda stumped ☹ Any help would be appreciated 😃 Cheers Blabj Ps, some of my work so far… ( ive been doing this a day 😃 ) ![](http://img33.exs.cx/img33/9859/PixelHouse-BestWorkYet.png) and ![](http://img34.exs.cx/img34/6380/DesertEagle.png) And… ![](http://img57.exs.cx/img57/2472/PixelStack.png) ---

hmmm…why cant you use the pencil tool in FW? I never would do pixel art in FW anyway. ---

The house looks like this tutorial I did a while back…Good work so far, I would ditch the idea of using fw for pixelart, but look here for possible solutions.

Yup, your right the house was done off a tutorial 😛 But I just wanted to learn some really cool skills fast, so I decided a tutorial was the best way 😃 About not using Fireworks… I really like using it, I dont find it as scary as photoshop, as im generally not used to it. I would prefer to use fireworks for making the art as I have grown accustomed to it, and I feel it would be a waste to get reasonably good ( IMO ) And then to have to swap over to another program and have to learn again ☹ Also thanks for all the nice things people have said 😃
