    • ]]>     pixel art tutorialsPixel art tutorials in this review cover basics and advanced tips and tricks which will help you not only start with pixel art but progress quickly and become pixel art designer.

Some pixel artists were featured in such magazines as Wired, Popular Science, and Fortune 500. Pixel Art is created by filling picture in by hand, pixel by pixel, rather than using graphic tools.
