show us what you can do and we'll critique it.

[Br3ttieBoi]

Ok. can you give me an idea of what to do please.

[AlexHW]

Do you have any examples of your work we can look at?
If we can see what you are doing, we can better tell what it is you need to do to improve.
If you don't have anything to show, pixel something you want to pixel, the best you can, and then show it and maybe we can help you.

Ok wel some one of another forum done this, the smaller version,
and i loved it so i asked em if i can use it for my new radio site opening soon.
They said yes, but ive resized it ive just finished the outline for it
by the way its a creme egg,
its been unwrapped

Are you making this with an etchesketch?

[AlexHW]

yeah, right now it seems you are useing only vertical and horizontal lines..
try doing some other angles and curves..
Try pixeling a circle.. an egg is similar shape to a circle..

[Br3ttieBoi]

yes that is this thing though, thats what im stuck on, this was easy because, it needs t look like etchassketer or howerver you spell it cos the pixels are big.

[AlexHW]

So whats the problem?
You outlined a resized image which made the pixels bigger in the process and so you ended up tracing the edges of the pixels. If you look at your pixels in the outline, they are regular size. Its the way you did th eoutline which suggests a blocky image. You need to smooth out the corners so it looks more curved.. to do that you need to create a series of pixels in the correct directions, changeing the direction accordingly.
Just try it. then show us your EFFORT. and we'll be able to see what you did wrong or right and then be capable of helping.
You didn't try pixeling a circle like I said..
Part of the learning process is acquired through the experience of pixeling.

Haha, I have absolutely no idea what's this about. Not being able to draw anything but in what looks like vertical and horisontal LOGO commands is a problem I'd expect a robot to have.
