Matthew Pickles documented his process for creating characters and backgrounds for a pixel art game using a 1 pixel pencil tool. He created a bowman character, a bunny enemy, and a jumping obstacle course background. For his final product, he plans to make a platform game with a solid colored background and brightly colored characters that stand out.

1. Experiments
Matthew Pickles

2. Process
• I started by making
a simple bowman
as the main
character
• I created him using
the size 1 pixel,
pencil tool

3. Process
• I then created one
of the enemies
which is a bunny
• I used these
colours to make
him stand out
• I created him using
the size 1 pixel,
pencil tool

4. Process
• I then created the
background which is
the scene that they
will have to jump
around in order to
complete the course
• I created it using the
size 1 pixel, pencil
tool

5. Process
• I then put the
other layers in as
well over it

6. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
– I will make my final product a platform game as
well
– I will make the background a solid colour that will
not get mixed up with the things in the foreground
– I will make the characters bright colours that stand
out over the background
