Hi there! I just started this Pixel Art subspace, so I'll go first... I'm somewhat of a noob... The first image is probably my first ever attempt, and it's a caricature of Martin Scorsese. The second one is an image I drew following a tutorial on YT... Both were made with Pixelorama... Hope you like them... Your turn... Go ahead, and show us your pixels then!

how is this made?
@gritty: Hey! Well, you use a piece of software that gives a fixed grid, and a color palette, and then you place those little squares one by one, until you get a picture you like...Or almost one by one, you still get tools like lines, basics shapes and gradients. I did these with a mouse, but now that I have a graphics tablet, I'll be using that... The program I used is free, it's called Pixelorama... I like pixel art, because it's both approachable and challenging! Give it a try maybe, you might like it too. There's plenty of nice tutorials, and it's quite satisfying!
