To get back into pixel art, I gave myself the challenge to draw the daily prompts (themes or alt themes) for r/SketchDaily on Reddit and post the result on both it and my blog. Here are the prompts and the links to blog posts with the drawing in it.

collage of drawings and pixel art for the SketchDaily subreddit

You’ve undoubtably noticed that the 30 days were in fact 33 days. Who is counting if they’re having fun?

It was indeed very enjoyable, though tiring. Doing pixel art is as slow as doing coloring pencils (i.e. very slow), at least, for me it is. I could easily spend 6 hours on a pixel art drawing, not counting research and pauses. It wasn’t sustainable on the long run. This is why I stopped as soon as I had another challenge in sight, the photo blogging challenge by micro∙blog, which I repurposed for pixel art, called it SepPixel.
