🎯 Objectives

The primary objective in Pixeler is to unleash your creativity and create stunning pixel art! There's no traditional "win" or "lose"—your success is measured by the artwork you produce and share. Short-term, focus on completing a drawing you're proud of, experimenting with different tools and techniques. Long-term, aim to build a diverse portfolio of creations, master the use of layers for complex art, and perhaps even tackle ambitious projects like animated sprites or large-scale scenes.

💡 Pro Tips

• 🎪 Master the Eyedropper: Use the Alt key shortcut constantly for seamless color matching, ensuring clean lines and perfect shading in your pixel art projects.
• ⚡ Plan Your Palette: Before you start, take a moment to set up a limited, cohesive color palette. This fosters a more unified and professional-looking final piece.
• 💰 Use the Paint Bucket Wisely: Ensure your shapes are completely enclosed with no gaps; otherwise, the fill color will leak across the entire canvas.
• 🏆 Zoom and Refine: Don't be afraid to zoom in for detailed work on intricate sections. The finest pixel art is all about precision and careful placement.
• 🎪 Layer Your Art: For complex creations, utilize layers. Sketch your outline on one layer and add colors on another for non-destructive editing and greater flexibility.
• ⚡ Start Small: Begin with a small canvas size to quickly complete designs and build confidence before moving on to larger, more time-consuming pieces.
