Pixel Fill-In Puzzles

[SassySnivy]

If anyone remembers the old Tips & Tricks magazines, you might remember the "pencil puzzles" they had in the back of the magazines. They'd usually have about 2 per issue. They looked something like this (http://gamelosers.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/IMG_65391.jpg) and this. (http://thefreecheese.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/tips-tricks-pencil-puzzle.jpg)

They're time-wasters, and they really aren't "puzzles" at all. Please also note that they do not relate to nonograms / picross in any way.

This is exactly how it looks: fill in the squares in each cell according to where they're labelled to go. I used to love these things. Recently I really wanted to do some, and was sad to find that there really aren't that many copies out there. :\ Not blank ones, anyway.

So I decided to create a template based on their online blank "Pencil Puzzles" template:

These ARE print-friendly! When making the template yesterday, I made sure to make everything at a easy-to-manage scale and one that stays true to the original T&T format. I actually did measurements and after several tries I finally concluded that 8x8 squares will work just fine. You can do these digitally, sure, but imho they're much more fun to print out and do with pen or pencil.

You can either download the images or print them directly from their links. I would download them first if I were you, though, just for simplicity's sake.

Here's the first three I've made thus far:

I'm working on making more; I'll post them as I finish them. Have fun with these! <3




Directions for Printing Method
Copy the image into any image editing software or download it directly.
Open the file if you opted to download. Go to your printer settings and go to your Page Setup options.
Under "Scaling", there are two bubbles. select the one that says "Adjust to x% of normal size". That percent should be at 100%.
Print, let dry, and enjoy! Might not be good if you have low black ink.

Speedy, this is so cool! O: I'll definitely try them out when it's not Christmas night and I'm planning to go shopping early on Boxing Day. xD But good on ya for doing it. I can't wait to try. c: Are they Pokemon related?

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

What a cool idea! I'd never seen these before. I will try one day when I get printer ink. xD I'm super curious about what they turn out as! :D

[shozuki81]

i just did then and they are awesome please do more i look forward to doing them :biggrin:

[Caite-chan]

I just tried the first one and it was really cool. Can't wait to try the rest.

[SassySnivy]

I miss doing these. Like, I forgot this was a thing. XD maybe I 'll work on more later. :D I mean I have a bunch planned out already, it's just arranging everything that's difficult xD

[AWA1997]

I'll give these a try when I can. They look really cool.

[Chibi Altaria]

These look like so much fun! :D I need to try them out later.

[SassySnivy]

If you guys want to, I think itd be really cool to take and post a photo / scan here of a completed puzzle! xD It would be really neat to see that, but only if you guys want to

[Fate]

These are awesome!

I did the first one. But I cheated and used Photoshop and the Paint Bucket tool. I hope I didn't mess up any square (too lazy to check xD):

That is so much better than printing them out. O: I AM DOING THIS SOMETIME. ALSO AWESOME! YOU DID IT.

I shouldn't have looked darn.

Thought I forgot about this, huh? 8D I came back to this yesterday because I remembered it. Found a much more efficient system of making these so I've got #5 and #6 done! See if you can do these and find out which Pokemon they are.

BUT! Don't spoil it for everyone else!

I think Fate might like #8! ;D Lunar Latias might like #7, as well.

Edit: Fixed #7!

[Chibi Altaria]

[SassySnivy]

Thanks, Gemma!

Glad I found a new process. I'm on a roll with these things.

Also I meant #7, not seven of them, lol. (I think that was clear.) Yeah but who cares if it wasn't your idea! As you said, the dirty work is what matters. It's so much fun to do. c:
