_{^{Start with the Right Canvas Size}}

Pixel art thrives on small, controlled spaces. Start with a canvas size that matches your intended pixel art size. Think small – a canvas size of 32×32, 64×64, or 128×128 pixels is ideal. To get started, you might want to explore our Procreate pixel brushes for the perfect tools.

When working on your art, zoom in to ensure you’re placing each pixel precisely where you want it. For those looking to add a soft touch or explore the other side of pixel art, discovering how to add pixel blur in Procreate can offer a unique perspective.

Procreate offers a pixel brush under the ‘Retro’ brush set. This brush ensures each stroke is a distinct pixel.

Make sure to use brushes that don’t have anti-aliasing, as this can create semi-transparent edges and lead to blurring.
