The pixel artist @Saultoons hosts a yearly pixel art challenge on Twitter each September. He provides a color palette and daily prompts. I’ve been wanting to learn to draw for a while, and I figured that pixel art would be a nice way to jump in! I didn’t make it all the way through the month, but I’m rather proud of what I was able to accomplish.
Check out the art I was able to produce!

As a beginner, I found Asesprite to be very approachable and easy to jump into. It’s available for all operating systems, which was a huge plus. When I was away from my computer and wanted to draw on my phone, I used the Android app Pixel Studio.
