First lets talk about what Pixel Art is, simply put Pixel Art is an image created using an 8bit scale. Meaning only the basic 8 colors can be used, and normally there are no curves so creations come out looking like they were drawn on a grid. If you have ever played on an old Nintendo or Atari then you know exactly what I am talking about.
Now how can you create a beautiful image in Farmville? Easy, simply use some online tools to create an image and then use it as a guide when placing hay bales on your farm!
Here is a great site you can use to create your own images, or upload an image and have it converted.
This tool will allow you to hand create a Pixel Art image, save it and then print it out.
Pixie also offers you the ability to upload an image and have it automatically loaded into the pixel editor, you will need to sign up for an account (its free) before you have access to this feature though. However, the image must be rather small in dimensions, so be sure to re-size it before loading or you may not be able to see all of it.
Another trick you can use is searching online, simply goto the Google Image Search and put in what you are looking for followed by "Pixel Art" (without the quotes). So lets say you wanted to find a picture of Hello Kitty, On Google Image search type in the following;
hello kitty pixel art
All of the returned images will be pixel art of hello kitty, simply find one you like and save it to your computer, print it out and use it as a guide when placing the hay bales in Farmville.
