Choose a Pixel Art Software

In this beginner tutorial we will be showing you the steps to draw your own kawaii carrot pixel art using a pixel editor software. Before we begin you will need to know how to make a pixel art grid and use basic tools such as the pencil tool in Mega Voxels. Once you create your kawaii carrot pixel art, you can import the pixel art in other software such as the Unity Game Engine or games like Minecraft. In this easy tutorial we will use the Mega Voxels Pixel Editor which is a free app. You can access a library of tutorials on how to use the Mega Voxels Pixel Art editor by clicking the link below:

Make a Pixel Art Grid

To begin we will make a 32×32 pixel art grid to draw a kawaii carrot in pixel art. 32×32 pixel art is a very popular size when creating pixel art, especially for digital projects such as games. Lets change the color of the canvas to the color White (#FFFFFF). This canvas will be what we use to draw our pixel art kawaii carrot on. Your kawaii carrot pixel art grid should have a canvas, sometimes known as a spreadsheet, that looks something similar to this:

Draw an Outline for the Kawaii Carrot

Next we will draw an outline for the carrot so we can get the overall shape for our pixel kawaii carrot. Choose the color Black (#000000) and select the pencil tool in the toolbox. Since this outline will be a guide for the shape, feel free to make adjustments to the outline to what match your project. As a guide, you can use the outline we drew below for your carrot or feel free to design your own.

Paint the Colors

Now that you drew an outline for your pixel art kawaii carrot, we will paint some colors on it to make it stand out. Fill in the main section of the carrot orange (#FF7D23). Next on the top of the carrot, we will use a green color (#009916). Try matching the picture of our 8 bit pixel art kawaii carrot below.

Draw the Shadows and Highlights

So whenever you create pixel art there are essentially two parts to shading: the highlights and the shadows. We will start with the shadows. We will be applying a shadow to our 32×32 pixel art carrot using a single color. This color will be applied to the bottom of the carrot. Remember, to create a shadow color for the carrot we will use a darker orange based on the color we used before (#F66500). Try to match where we put the shadows in the image below.

So now that you got the basic idea we will continue adding some depth to our carrot to give it a 3D feel. Let’s create a highlight using the same orange from the main carrot section, but instead of going darker this time we will go lighter (#FF9850). Remember, this doesn’t have to be the exact color in fact this is an opportunity to make the carrot look like your own. In our version we only highlighted the top of the carrot. Use our image as a guide for your carrot.

Great! When you are happy with your shadows and highlights on your carrot, be sure to view your final image. To see your pixel art carrot go ahead and turn off the grid lines to make sure you like the way the carrot came out.
