Keep the iron moving in circles — never park it in one spot. Cover with parchment paper, iron one side, flip carefully, iron the other.

Fuzzy look? Iron slightly less on the pegboard side, then texture with a towel while still warm.

Background: 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.

FAQ

Is the profile pattern harder than the others?▼

Yes — it is one of the hard Pikachu variants. The side silhouette has less margin for error than a symmetric front view, and the lightning tail adds diagonal color blocking.

Which direction does profile Pikachu face?▼

This pattern faces left, with the tail extending to the right. Mirror the grid if you prefer it facing the other way before crafting.
