Help with pixel art

Hello!

 

I'm new to pixel art and I did this portrait. I then modify it into a gif. 

The dimension of this art is (approximatively) 80x65 pixels. I really liked the scale for the workflow, however the result is really tiny. Is there a way to scale the image up without damaging it? I work with photoshop (and I have access to Illustrator too).

Thank you in advance for your help :)

It depends on how you're scaling up the image, but there should be a "resampling" or antialiasing option. Set them to none or off to preserve the pixelishness of the art. It also helps if you only scale the image to harmonic sizes, like 120x120 or 240x240.

Though maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're asking. Do these images capture what you're goingn for?

Yes the second one is absolutely perfect! 

Thanks to your message, I understood what I was doing wrong. I was modifying the canvas size, then the image size instead of modifying the image size directly.

Thank you so much! :)

Try inkscape for resizing images. even if it not a SVG it can resize it with little loss of quaility
