The Charm of Pixel Art

Pixel art has experienced a massive revival — from indie games to social media avatars to NFT collections. Its constraint-based creativity (limited colors, small grids) produces a distinctive aesthetic that's both nostalgic and modern.

Getting Started with Pixel Art

Start with the pixel art editor, choose a canvas size (16x16, 32x32, or 64x64), pick colors from the palette, and draw pixel by pixel. Use the fill tool for large areas, the eraser for corrections, and the mirror tool for symmetrical designs.
