Summary:
Washing machines, microwaves, computers, DRONES. We're surrounded by awesome technology, objects that are intricate in their design and function, which is what makes conveying their form in pixel art quite challenging. Fear not, for 'Electronics' will be the theme for this week's beginner pixel art fundamentals class!

We’ll be going over the basic techniques of pixel art: lines, shading techniques, dithering, colors, hue shifting, contrast, and readability!
