Dither me once, shame on you!

Just kiddin’! 🤓😉

Dithering is a technique used to create the illusion of a wider range of colors or shades in images when the available number of colors or bit depth is limited. It’s a classic technique in Pixel Art.

I got a free sample pack of pixel art brushes for Procreate from Manero Brushes, and let me tell you… The quality of the brushes and the instructions they came with blew me away!

So often, when I download new brushes, I feel intimidated about how to use them, and sometimes they just sit there collecting digital dust. But when you buy from Manero Brushes, your downloads (even the free ones!) come with these amazing, high-quality instructions, packed with tips and best practices. I had so much fun playing with these brushes. It was like an art assignment, in the best way. I’m super grateful for this product and education! I’ve had so much fun.

Make sure to check out all that Manero Brushes has to offer and check out some of my first attempts below! ⤵️

My first pixel art experiment. 👾 What sound would this guy make?

Arf?

My second attempt at pixel art. It’s giving summertime in the 90’s, playing video games with my brother. Heavy on the nostalgia-core. 🧡🏝️
