Pixel Art

Pixel Art is a digital art style where images are created and edited at the pixel level, often using a limited color palette and blocky, low-resolution aesthetics. Originating from early video games and computer graphics in the 1970s and 1980s, it remains popular in retro gaming, indie game design, and digital art communities. Pixel Art relies on precise placement of pixels to form characters, environments, and animations, often evoking nostalgia for classic 8-bit and 16-bit games. Despite its simplicity, it requires strong artistic skill to convey depth, lighting, and emotion with minimal detail.
