Pixel Art Applications

Pixel Art Tips
1. Start small - 8x8 or 16x16 is great for beginners; 2. Keep outlines clear with dark borders; 3. Use limited palettes - classic pixel art often uses just 16 or 32 colors; 4. Use dithering to create gradients with limited colors; 5. Study classic pixel games like Super Mario and Zelda for inspiration.
