8pxl 🖼

I found this artist on Twitter. A lot of pixel artists, and artists in general reside on Twitter—it becomes a pretty supportive place when you look in certain places 🙂

There's just something so dreamy about her art, I love love love it.

Pixel art is one of my favorite types of art. It’s so whimsical and fun, and so, so nostalgic in essence as an ode to older games and consoles. I am going to share with you my favorite pixel artist on the internet.

She is also just a wonderful human being to follow and has the best Twitter updates because she lives in like, the most beautiful place in the world.

Also her dog bento is the cutest floffiest doggo I have seen he hikes and loves nature just like his owner :D

Now, once you really get into pixel art research, there are certain rules when it comes to this art form. For example, painting or drawing with one pixel (a teeny tiny square) at a time inherently limits the artist to somewhat geometric forms. Granularly, pixel art rules break down into lines. Forms, shading techniques, and more—way, way more when you start to include animation!

Also, it’s important to note that all digital pictures are pixelated; however, this does not make them pixel art. Pixel art is the intentional and deliberate creation by pixels as a medium.
