How to do Pixel Hobby Oraloa?

How does a symbol work in pixel art? If you choose a pixel art project with a symbolic pattern, you will notice that the pattern is divided into several segments.
Each segment of the pattern has 4 symbols, each with numbers, representing a specific color. The symbols correspond to the color numbers located behind the pixel squares.
Use the color number (indicated on the back of the pixel square) that corresponds to the number next to the symbol. The same symbols represent a different color number in each segment of the pattern.
You can slide the transparent base plate over the pattern segment to see exactly where each colored pixel should be placed, eliminating the need for counting.
Make sure the arrow on the back of the base plate always points in the same direction to maintain correct orientation.
Place the pixels onto the pins on the base plates with tweezers or your fingers, and they will be fixed immediately, without the need for glue or an iron.
Once the pattern segment is complete, you can move the base plate to the next pattern segment. Repeat these steps until the base plate is completely filled. You can then proceed with the next base plate, and so on. The pattern will indicate which pattern segment corresponds to which base plate.
Is the project finished? You can assemble the base plates with dovetails and frame them!

The baseplate has at least 2000 pins (50x40). There is an arrow on the back of the baseplate. This arrow indicates the orientation of the baseplate and the pixel artwork. It is important that the arrow always points in the same direction. For example, always up or always to the right.

Our tweezers are specially designed for Pixelhobby. Which one is your favorite?

There are 4 notches at the back of the base plate. These notches are intended for dovetail connectors. These dovetails allow the base plates to be connected together. You can expand the project as much as you want by adding other base plates! On the side of the canvas, locate the corresponding symbol and number on the legend.

Does your base plate keep moving? By using the template, you can avoid this problem...
Requirements: Template, clear folder, and adhesive tape.
1. Place the model in a clear folder.
2. Position the template correctly on the model so that all symbols are visible.
3. Stick the template to the base plate using adhesive tape (the plastic case prevents the template from tearing).
4. You can then place the base in the template and start "pixelating"!
