Canvas size: 200x200
Track width: 7-11 (any less will be too thin, and any more will be too wide. However, if the intention is for something really thin/wide, go ahead, but don’t do that too often in the track)
Use line tool for everything. This will allow to to be more precise.
Turns: instead of making them a a simple lim then done, instead curve them like this:
Also notice how I used the line tool to count put how to keep the track width the same, even on the turn.
Fill: once you have finished a part, feel free to block it off on each side and use the fill tool, but make sure there are no gaps. If you accidentally fill the whole thing, press undo.
Color: choose colours that fit the track. The colors I’m going to use to describe each section will be with a circuit theme.
Main road: this is the main part of track, in which you will be driving on. Choose a logical colour then work on other things (in whatever order you want)
Holes: Make these darker than the main road, preferably in a different colour to the main road + walls
Walls: Do whatever with these, but make sure they stand out as-well
Off-Road: make sure they still look drivable, but make sure they are distinguishable from everything else
Others: put them in wherever, as long as they make sense

Same, I am just going to use 100 x 100 on pixilart and change the size of the track when I import into complete mode.

How do you upscale?
two options: pixilart lets you upscale when saving the image OR go into the options in complete mode editor

To add volume, I use the brush tool with a lighter/darker shade than the track/offroad/oob areas (depending on the depth)
On 2022-11-20 at 01:03:43
When making curves use a pattern like: 2pix, 1pix, 2pix with the no. of pixels increasing for less sharper turns. Do not use 1pix, 1pix, 1pix if you're not doing something like Ghost Valley

I'm happy to give tips if you like but I'd rather on discord

Got a few tips
Theming & Color: Use only the colors that would fit your theme...ex. Ice Themed Track, use blue, cyan, etc...
Turns & Curves: Make them feel smooth, not like mine, they're trash. Don't make it too sharp, make em alright. Use the line tool to help you.
Size: Use 200x200/300x300, personally, 300x300 feels alr, but it's up to you. If you're using 300x300, make the track's length 16.
Offroads & Holes: Make the offroads and holes different shade or color than the main track, but don't make the offroad and hole colors the same!
Extra details: Add anything as long as they fit the theme. Don't add unnecessary details, ex. Ice themed track but there's grass. Also don't add too much colors. Make a limit like 12 colors for each track that way it wont look ugly, it's like putting too much colors to make some lego house

Kind of late…I switched to non-pixel art.
