A small grid. That's the point.
Pixel art is just colored squares. Phones and games used to look like this because hardware was limited; people still draw this way because limits help you finish something.
This board is for doodling when you have ten minutes - not for shipping a game asset pack. Pick a mood palette, paint, download if you like it.
How to use it
Pick a palette
Mood sets (fire, ocean, midnight, etc.) keep the colors from fighting each other.
Block in shapes first
Fill big areas before tiny details. Silhouette first, then polish.
Add light and shadow
One lighter and one darker shade next to a base color is usually enough.
Save it
Export when you're happy. There's no cloud account - the file is yours.
Good for zoning out
Filling a grid is oddly calming. You're not managing layers or brushes - just color and position. Fine for a study break or when you don't want another feed.
Kids
Big pixels, limited colors. Works fine on a shared tablet if you want something quieter than a video.
Ideas if you're stuck
- Tiny game sprites
- Simple faces / icons
- Sunset stripes
- One object (cup, cat, car)
