PIXEL ART
Pixel art is a form of digital art, created through the use of software,
where images are edited on the pixel level. The aesthetic for this
kind of graphics comes from 8-bit and 16-bit computers and 
video game consoles, in addition to other limited systems such as 
graphing calculators. In most pixel art, the color palette used is
extremely limited in size, with some pixel art using only two colors.
Creating or modifying pixel art characters or objects for video
games is sometimes called spriting, a term that arose from the
hobbyist community. The term likely came from the term sprite, a
term used in computer graphics to describe a two-dimensional 
bitmap that is used in tandem with other bitmaps to construct a
larger scene.

The term pixel art was first published by Adele Goldberg and Robert
Flegal of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 1982. Adobe Systems,
founded in 1982, developed the Postscript language and digital fonts,
making drawing painting and image manipulation software popular.

 REFLECTION
In the past few days of me working on this project, I found it hard to color in the little boxes. It hurts a lot from my neck
down to my back to my arms and hands. If I’m being honest, the process was horrible to me, but when I got my rhythm
going, like I found my flow I happened to work faster than when I was just starting. And I was starting to see the results, I
was happy about it. It really tested my patience, I have long patience but when you really cross the line things get ugly
from there. I kept my cool, thanks to my friend who was on video call with me. She helped me focus on the project even
though we were chatting with each other. You really need to put a lot of your time and effort on these kinds of projects if
you want to have great results. You can’t just make this in a day, or maybe you can, if you’re not really into it. Art takes
time to make, and that time may even take weeks, months years maybe even decades. You can’t just rush art, it’s like our
life, we take one step at a time. When we try to rush we might trip and fall down. “Creating art is painful, It takes time,
practice and the courage to stand alone” – Maria Semple. Patience is really a virtue.
