Although it&#8217;s new, the concept of vexel art has been around for many years in the world of traditional art and graphic design, while similar methods are used in the creation of computer games and animated films.<\/p>\n<p>Tutorials on how to use vexel art are easy to find online, but there&#8217;s not much information available about what vexel art actually is or what types of products it can be used for. This blog aims to fill that gap and provide an overview of the vexel art phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>Your Guide to Vexel Art<\/p>\n<p>Vexel art is a new way of drawing and creating art. It was created by John Colburn, a game developer from New Zealand, who coded it into a video game and posted it on the internet. The files he created were then used by other artists to create their own vexel art pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Tiles are used to make vexel art, but instead of creating tile sets for games, the tiles are arranged in an image that can be printed out or saved to disk as an image file. Programs like Photoshop can be used to create these images.<\/p>\n<p>Vexel art can be used for a lot of different products. You can print out the images and use them as wallpapers or posters. You can use the images as icons on your computer or mobile device. You can use them in scrapbooking or card making projects as well as other places depending on what you are making. They are also good for making t-shirts and other wearable items if you have the right equipment to print on fabric.<\/p>\n<p>Vexel art is an art form that uses vexel graphics to create digital art. Vexel graphics are created by taking a screenshot of a picture, and then editing the picture in any software you wish. Editing can include resizing, rotating, coloring, cutting and pasting onto another picture.<\/p>\n<p>Vexel art is useful for many different kinds of products. It can be used for wallpapers on computers or phones, posters, advertisements, logos and much more. Vexel art tends to have a very clean look and feel to it. If you want to learn how to make vexel graphics, you can use any picture editing software that you are familiar with.<\/p>\n<p>Vexel art is a type of digital art that uses interlocking shapes to create an image. These shapes are called &#8220;vexels.&#8221; The word &#8220;vexel&#8221; is a combination of the words &#8220;pixel&#8221; and &#8220;voxel.&#8221; A vexel has two axes, x and y, and can be any shape. The shapes must all share the same corner points. Vexels can be any size and color; the longer the side of a voxel, the more space it will take up on your product.<\/p>\n<p>The most common use for vexel art is on custom t-shirts. If you have a photograph, design, or logo that you would like to put on a t-shirt in pixel form, vexel art can make it happen. You can also use vexel art as decorative wall art or as a design for glassware, pillows, mugs, and other items.<\/p>\n<p>Vexel art is a kind of pixel art. It can be used to create video games, animations, or any other digital product where cartoon-like characters are needed.<\/p>\n<p>Tiles and squares are the most common shapes in pixel art. These shapes can be used to create characters and items for video games. However, they are not perfect for creating interesting-looking characters.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a human body is not very similar to a square or a tile. If we use squares or tiles to represent the human body, it will look somewhat boring (as you can see on the right). To create more interesting-looking characters, we need something different than tiles or squares.<\/p>\n<p>The simplest non-tiled shape is the line segment. A line segment is formed when two points are connected by a straight line (as shown in the image below). Lines segments can be used to draw many different kinds of things, like cat tails, dragon tails, and legs:<\/p>\n<p>But lines segments have some disadvantages as well. For example, they don&#8217;t allow us to depict hair very easily. They also generally don&#8217;t look very good when viewed from an angle.<\/p>\n<p>Vexel art uses another shape that&#8217;s different from tiles or lines: the cube. The cube is made<\/p>\n<p>Vexel Art is the new term for pixel art. It is pixel art with a third dimension added. In vexel art there are three layers to each piece. The top layer is the foreground, the middle layer is the background, and the bottom layer can be a watermark or transparent.<\/p>\n<p>Tutorials on how to create vexel art can be found on YouTube under the channel name VXA<\/p>\n<p>A vexel is a kind of geometric figure made from a series of squares or rectangles in which the lengths and angles are varied. The word &#8220;vexel&#8221; comes from the first letters of &#8220;vector&#8221; and &#8220;element.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A vexel has three components: a vector, a set of elements, and space. The vector is the length and direction that the line travels. The element is the shape it takes at each point along the vector; for example, an element could be a square. How many times the element repeats itself along the vector is called its frequency. The space is how much area between the elements is left blank; this can vary as well.<\/p>\n<p>As you might imagine, there are lots of different ways to make vexels. Vexels have only been around since about 1990, though, so there&#8217;s still lots to be discovered.<iframe width=\"100%\"\" height=300vh src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dftq8EcMfvU?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vexel art is an emerging form of digital art that involves using pixel-by-pixel vector graphics.
