PINTORCITO

Painting style guide

Pixel Art

Pixel Art mode turns the canvas into a chunky grid so every tap feels precise, simple, and satisfying.

What Pixel Art painting is

This style snaps every mark into square cells, which makes it easy to build icons, little characters, and colorful patterns without fiddly controls.

How this style works in Pintorcito

  • Every stroke is snapped to the grid, so the painting feels tidy right away.
  • The visible grid stays on by default to make tapping easy on phones and tablets.
  • Dragging across the canvas fills multiple cells in sequence for fast coloring.

Why it feels good to use

Pixel painting is approachable because each move is clear and intentional. It feels like placing stickers one square at a time.

Creative tips

  • Use short drags for clean outlines.
  • Switch background colors to make bright palettes pop.
  • It works especially well for tiny faces, symbols, and checkerboard textures.
