Summary:

This week, we’ll be practicing the basic techniques of pixel art: lines, shading techniques, dithering, colours, hue shifting, contrast, and readability by drawing a bunch of 16x16 Christmas themed icons. Join us for some festive fun!

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!
