====================
Summary:

This week, we’ll be going over the basic techniques of pixel art: lines, shading techniques, dithering, colours, hue shifting, contrast, and readability. Our theme this time is clothing! We'll be drawing 16x16 clothing icons, and then dressing up a character in what we've drawn by the end. We'll also cover a bit of clothing design, and what looks good at low resolutions.

While the classes are designed so that you can join anytime, this is one of the best starting points for pixel art or illustration in general!

Take a look at our handy-dandy reference folder for a sneak peek of what you’ll be learning ->[ https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ttO9Pr0_VCft2R4YcHoqOwjljzzR2C-b](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ttO9Pr0_VCft2R4YcHoqOwjljzzR2C-b)
