I love Excel, and in my free time I use it to create pixel art. Today I’m sharing how I made this Pikachu, blending my love for computers, cartoons, and anime with a clear, enjoyable process.
Proceso paso a paso
Initial structure: I started with the ears to define the silhouette. I used borders and outlines to mark key shapes before filling.
Face and expression: I moved on to the eyes, mouth, and red cheeks. I adjusted cell size to keep the features proportional.
Body and arms: I built the body little by little. The arms help to give character and balance to the pose.
Iconic tail: I added the lightning bolt-shaped tail, taking care of the brown edges at the tips to maintain the essence of Pikachu.
From a distance, the shading is more noticeable, giving volume to the character.
