I have been trying my hand at creating pixel art from scratch (thanks to Libresprite) and it’s been oddly satisfying. I was able to whip up this familiar image fairly quickly using the original as a reference:
Something super interesting is how much you have to do with so little, so every pixel is really important and counts towards the final product. Also dithering can make such a difference for shading and gradients.
Anyway, this has been quite enjoyable and I hope to do more random little artworks in the future :D
