To make shapes and angles more defined, I added highlights and shadows to the characters by adjusting the Value slider (circled) in the Color tab. Shards combines all trixel grids into one fine grid. I refined the sketch further using the Shards sub-grid (alt+5). In this case, the lower legs are one trixel wide while the ankles have no trixel width. Try to keep the level of detail low and simple. With an isometric view in mind, I roughly sketched the Guacboy and Burrito babe characters on a new vector layer using the standard trixel grid (alt+1). The poster will have a Mexican flair, so I’m changing the background color to a bold yellow (hex: e4f75f). I enlarged the canvas to 100×100 Hexels in the Canvas tab (top right) to allow room for moving elements around later. I’m going to start with the Trixels template, which uses a crisp vector based triangular grid. The image would include bold use of color, an unusual perspective, as well as original and imported text elements. My intentions for this design were to create a Mexican food themed, action romance poster for a fake movie entitled “Guacboy and the Habanero Desert“. Using various grids and vector based tools, graphic designers and illustrators can build up striking art for nearly any design project. One of the many opportunities of creating art using Hexels is the ability to design eye-catching posters, book covers and art for branding purposes.
