What is pixel art?
Pixel art is a picture made from a grid of colored squares, or “pixels.” It's the retro, blocky style you see in classic video games — and it's a perfect first digital-drawing activity for kids because every stroke snaps neatly into place. Start on a small 8×8 grid for simple icons like a heart or a star, then move up to 16×16, 24×24 or 32×32 as you add more detail.
