Summary:

This week, we’ll be covering how to create distinct, memorable, and accurate pixel art portraits at a range of sizes! We’ll cover a range of techniques for different workflows, including importing from larger sketches, sculpting, and style matching.

Bring a reference image of a character to draw, or snap a photo to trap someone in pixellated likeness forever! :D
