    Why, as I grow more mature as an artist, am I still shooting for what I can’t possibly reach with my art skills? Anyway, I’m prepping myself for another 30 days of pixel art.

    Screenshot of Pixaki app on iPad showing a rough sketch of Steve Wozniak, a reference photo and a reference of Picasso art. Work in Progress.

    Did you know the art of the original Mac was inspired by Matisse, not Picasso? Both are conceptual, abstract artists.

    Pixel art for Pixel Dailies, theme: “Transporter”, for August 30, 2023 (so, with a day delay). I got all VW Transporters in my image search, so I opted for a vehicle in extreme perspective. Game Boy format (160 x 144 pixels, 4 colors). Drawing time ± 1 hour.

    Yesterday’s theme on Pixels Dailies was: “Reaction Image.” I did a quick image search to get an idea and then drew from imagination a WTF face. Pixel art 32 x 32 pixels, 4 colors on an 160 x 144 Game Boy canvas. Drawing time: 1u26m. Not posted on Pixel Dailies.

    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 😬 That’s global timezones for you. I’m happy with it ☺️ … Time: 2u22m, oops 😅

    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).

    Taking breaks is important, especially on days you’d rather spend in bed than making pixel art for the last day (for now) on r/SketchDaily.

    Pixel art

    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 Moon–unlike Russia–in one piece 👏

    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.

    For r/SketchDaily. Theme: Movie Week Free Draw Finale, where you draw a favorite that wasn’t mentioned. I chose “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, with a twist. Drawing time: 7 hours in several sessions. Pixel art for Game Boy Advance (240 x160 pixels, 32 colors).

    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, “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.” 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.
