- Programmers can improve their pixel art by nurturing good taste, which acts like an internal compiler to guide their art process.
- Pixel art at low resolutions is about negotiating with the canvas, treating it like a puzzle game rather than drawing freely.
- Using references from existing game sprites can help in understanding how to represent objects or characters effectively.
- Sticking to a limited color palette is crucial, but expanding it carefully can enhance the sprite's appeal without overwhelming the artist.
- Constraints in pixel art can breed creativity and help hide flaws by keeping the artist within their skill comfort zone.
