Hey dads! Posted a kinda niche challenge on the site. If anyone new to the medium wants guides or tutorials or advice on how pixel art works you can hit me up on discord or just post on an old submission of mine (or here) and I'll try to help out. Pixel art is really, really fun to get into and has decent small job prospects so I hope you guys will give it a try. It's really great for trying out simple animations and to get a better grasp of colour theory as well!


For those of you who have never done pixel art before, if you want your pixel submissions to be bigger you can change your final work by selecting "Nearest neighbour" in photoshop and upping the dimensions of the file. Be careful to keep the ratio the same! For example if you have a piece of pixel art that was initially 90 pixels don't suddenly make it 345. Try to use an x2, x3 etc formula to preserve the original pixel dimensions.

Also, never save in JPEG! Only png and gif for no information loss.

Good luck!
