Sar’s pixels is digital art created using smaller pixel spaces, such as 64×64 or 128×128. I picked this topic because it is something I continuously enjoy to do, and is very entertaining to make. Many people ask me to create specific things, for example, one time someone asked me to create them an image of a cactus in a desert. These images could feel someone feel calm, based on placement and color choice.
Using lighter colors such as pastels tend to make the viewer feel more at peace. These images are a representation of emotional and creative freedom, and how to interact with your feelings without being harmful towards them. It is very easy to find resources online on how to create these images or to find inspiration to.
One of the websites that I enjoy to use is https://www.pixilart.com/draw as it gives you the complete freedom to make digital art. It makes it easy to make gradients and to create animations. Animation is a big part of pixel art, as it gives it a new level of life to the image. Another good resource is http://lesterbanks.com/2014/02/creating-pixel-art-animation-photoshop/ which is a video that shows you how to easily make animation through Photoshop.
One of my current interests is to be more exploratory with animating pixel art pieces, and to develop new techniques. I often view other artists work to inspire myself, and one site I frequently reference to is https://www.deviantart.com/digitalart/pixelart/whats-hot/ which is constantly updating with new pictures. This site is endlessly inspiring especially for someone like me who is newly interested in this topic.
Throughout the next few months I am hoping to make a bigger animation, such as a train moving through a city or a large shooting star passing through the sky. I hopefully can inspire other artists online through doing animations such as this. These next few months will be a great improvement in my art, and I am excited to document my progress.
