Pixel Art

Pixel art is a precision art. It is advised that you use a Pixel Art Editor.

Choosing a size (Low-Bit to Hi-Bit)
Choosing a size for your sprite has a few things you should consider first. Low-bit (closer to 8 pixels by 8 Pixels allows for easier art creation, and animations. But Its hard to fit much detail in. On the other hand Hi-Pixel art (128+ Pixel Range) each Frame takes a long time to create and creating animations can get laborious.
