How can I start creating pixel art?

To start creating pixel art, you'll need a pixel art software like Aseprite or Piskel. Do you have a specific theme in mind?

I want to create a character sprite for a game.

Great choice! Start by sketching your character on paper or digitally. Then, choose a limited color palette to keep it simple.

What size should my sprite be?

A common size for character sprites is 16x16 or 32x32 pixels. It depends on the style of your game. What are you aiming for?

I want a retro style, like in old 8-bit games.

Perfect! For an 8-bit style, stick to a 16x16 size and use a very limited color palette, usually around 4-8 colors.
