Hello artists,
I've done my first pixel art drawings with photoshop and some programs such as D-pixel, Pixen, ASCIIPaint, GraphicsGale, etc ...
But I have a simple question, how I can draw with pixels bigger?
When I make a picture pixel by pixel in photoshop, the image size is 100x100, but what if I make a picture in 20x20 cm size with larger pixels? Do I have to resize the image? How? Because if resizing is pixelated ...
So what is the way to do this?
Example:

well you wouldn't draw with 'bigger pixels', just create the image at its native resolution, then resize it. make sure you deselect "resample image" when resizing in photoshop. I assume this is what you mean by the image becomes "pixelated".

You can simply Resize/Resample with the program of your choice.
I usually do it on Gimp/Photoshop. and making sure I deactivate Bilinear filter or set the scaling at nearest neighbor.
Also make sure you increase the size by magnitude x2 x3 x4 x5 and whatever.
