I don't even know what your question is. You can't use the Pencil Tool?

Sorry to hear that but "it doesn't work" is not a question or a description that anyone can help you with.

The guy set his canvas size to 40x40 pixels. You set your canvas to 1600 x 800. This would be a massive pixel art composition. Probably start smaller and expand it little by little.

Watch the tutorial from the beginning. He sets up the canvas. Watch it again and pay attention to the values and units being used.

Apparently not

@dreamy compass did you try setting the canvas to a smaller size? And your brush to 1x1? And viewing at 100% magnification?

And what was the result?

Can you show us the screenshot results of a 400 pixels (not cm not in ) canvas and a one px pencil

it's just the gridlines appearing to be not accurate on that zoom level... if you zoom in.. you'll see it doing just what you want to see..
it's exactly how it should react because you're on a 1640x856 canvas.. you need to be zoomed in to be working with pixel art
in a high res canvas trying to use per pixel tools (like Pencil) at that zoom level, Photoshopโ€™s just smoothing everything visually even if technically it's pixel accurate underneath...

#

the same will happen if anyone works on resolution this high.. but if you zoom in

#

it's accurate

start with a 32x32 or 40x40 canvas... that's where real pixel art begins you're forced to think simple, clean, and precise... no space to hide behind blur or details

then as you get comfortable... move up to 64x64, 128x128 etc
you build control first, then complexity later..
