I have never to this day did pixel art, but have always admired it and those who do it. Well now I have to do it. But it is for print. Now I know generally pixel art is done at very small scales. So in order for a pixel art piece to be printed lets say the size of a t-shirt. Does one have to make this gigantic pixel piece? Does the scale of the pencil tip go up at some sort of scale? If I have a 10in by 10in piece I had to do. Do you use a large pencil tip and adjust the grid to something like 4 square pixels are going to equal one dot? I hope I explained that correctly. Any advice is appreciated.
