Do you use a program or anything to determine where to put the tiles? Or do you just eyeball it

all i use is paint and paint.net
1pixel = tile
and then "show grid" and ctrl+l
i mostly turn original pic into paveable color and cut them together, i cant draw for shit

here is the original narwhale for example:

Figured, that's what I'd been doing too... Only problem is finding basic pixel art to emulate. It's hard to find ones where the pixels are large enough to actually be paved within a reasonable area size

Actually Coles you can always scale down an image. For example the rose i paved was originally like 400x150 and I scaled it down to a reasonable size but one that would still keep the detail.

Edit: images over 1000 pixels in length or width are not worth the time as many details will be lost due to shading

That is adorable!

Thanks for explaining how you do it - and thanks Jordan for asking - I wondered how you get them so accurate. It's inspired me to try again now I have a means of, hopefully, producing something stunning like these.
