Pixel-Art workshop
Pixel-Art is a form of digital art, created using raster graphics software. Basically, you edit and construct images pixel by pixel. Pixelmaster Paul Veer will help you design your own pixelated avatar or image using a raster graphics editor (either Pixen for Mac OSX users or GraphicsGale for Window users). Depending on how fast you work, there might very well be time to animate your little avatar as well! Click here to navigate to the workshop page.
