Most of our projects are drawn with pixels, though many of them start out in graphite. There’s just something about the way a pencil feels on paper. In the video below, we take a sketch from paper to pixels, finding a style along the way. We finished out the sketch in Photoshop using a Wacom Intuos.

We prefer drawing with pixels for the way it mimics the feeling of conventional sketching or painting. It’s great for texture and versatility, but it can’t resize infinitely. For that, we turn to vector.
