  • Pixel art. I made a Game Boy compatible base image (160 x 144 pixels, 4 colors), though with a different color palette (called “Candypop”). I can now easily add the theme and change the date. Though, the date is today ๐Ÿ˜ฌ That’s global timezones for you. I’m happy with it โ˜บ๏ธ โ€ฆ Time: 2u22m, oops ๐Ÿ˜…

  • Pixel art at Game Boy resolution (160 x 144, 4 colors), using a different color palette (candy pop). This is me leaning out from art challenges a bit, not going into details too much. Still, drawing time was 2u25m. Not posted on Pixel Dailies.

  • For r/SketchDaily. The final pixel art drawing for this streak of 30 days, illustrating the concept of evolution. As always, I reached for the sky, but got a slight hop out of it in reality. Pixel art for Game Boy Advance (240 x 160, 32 colors).

    pixel art showing the background of today's theme of Sketch Daily on Reddit
  • For r/SketchDaily. Off-topic: “News headline.” I obviously misread today’s theme, which is: “Not the onion” (alt theme: onion), and pick a weird headline to illustrate. Nah, I stuck with positivity instead. There’s enough downbeat “news” around. India reached the Moonโ€“unlike Russiaโ€“in one piece ๐Ÿ‘

  • I updated my Reddit avatar (was alt theme on August 23, 2023). It’s 144 x144 pixels, 8 colors, which would fit easily on a Game Boy Advance screen. It illustrates my username, Rasheedity. It’s a mashup between the default Reddit alien and a pony I drew earlier this week.

  • Two days ago I felt I hadn’t the chops to draw a pony in MLP style to illustrate my Reddit username for r/SketchDaily. Today I remedied that omission by doing just that, draw a pony, in glorious 4-colors 160 by 144 pixels Game Boy art.

  • For r/SketchDaily. Theme: “The Muppet Christmas Carol.” I didn’t want to blatantly copy an image from the Internet, so I did sloppy environment drawing and then tried to fix it the best I could. Pixel art for Game Boy Advance (240 x 160, 32 colors).

  • For r/SketchDaily. Alt Theme Reddit name illustrated. Actually, it was made for r/MLPDrawingSchool, because it was big 11 years ago, โ€œMy Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.โ€ My pony drawing skills have been worsened since.

  • Pixel art for r/SketchDaily, alt theme The Matrix. I decided to make a simple animation with some text and graphics. However, the subreddit doesn’t allow animated GIF, it seems, so I shared one frame instead. Game Boy image format, 160 x 144, 4 colors.

  • Practicing pixel artโ€ฆ I continued working on yesterday’s pixel art in Pixaki (it rocks!) To do it justice I’ll need a proper pixel editor like Aseprite, the industry standard. Ah well, tools not art make. If I happen to become a pro, buying a Mac will make much more sense.

  • When I saw Pixaki could use the iPad’s pasteboard, I tried copy-and-pasting existing pixel art into Procreate, which has an 1-pixel brush installed. I enlarged the original three times, recreated the color palette, and drew over it in a new layer. I can see that having value, though it’s very slow.

  • Free Draw Friday on r/SketchDaily! Continued my “Famous Bears” of last Tuesday by refining the five I already did, adding four more, and do a free draw, based on the Gummi Bears. I gave up on guessing a drawing time, who cares? It was so much fun! Exhausting, though ๐Ÿฅฑ Can’t keep up 10 hrs per day.

  • Work in Progress pixel art for r/SketchDaily Free Draw Friday. I fixed some of the problems I discovered with a fresh look. There’s just one portrait to go. Alas, my ambitions are thusly high, that it might take the rest of the day to pull it off.
