Pikachu Profile
Pikachu in side profile — one long ear, a pointed nose, and the lightning tail stretching out behind. A challenging 16×16 hard pattern.
Materials Needed
576 beads total · 10 colorsBackground: Profile Pikachu
Most Pikachu merchandise shows the character face-on, so a side-profile view is a rarer, more dynamic take. It emphasizes Pikachu's most iconic silhouette cues in one line: the long forward ear, the rounded cheek, and the zigzag lightning tail trailing behind.
Design Notes: 16×16 Pixel Composition
Profile art is unforgiving — the whole figure must read as sideways from silhouette alone. The nose juts out at the left edge, the body angles down and back, and the lightning tail fills the lower right with a brown base. Hard difficulty: it needs careful color blocking and is best attempted after the medium variants.

Ironing Tips
- 💡Medium heat only — too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
- 💡Keep the iron moving in slow circles — staying in one spot melts that area flat.
- 💡Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
