Hi everyone,

I recently released a pixel art editor on the app store, named: Little Pixels.

The prime idea was to propose a tool that was easy to use on a small iPhone screen in portrait mode:

- To avoid having to zoom a lot to be able to place pixels precisely, i chose to implement a cursor pattern : one thumb to move a cursor, the other to apply the selected tool effects.

- Canvas zoom and move feature are achieved with 2 fingers gesture. It's also possible to double tap on the screen to switch rapidly between the actual zoom in and the full screen zoom out. It allows us to get a quick acces to the complete view of the drawing, without the need of a tiny preview window.

- Tools & actions menu is crafted to allow simple and fast selection. All you need is at the bottom of the screen, and distributed beetween left and right thumbs.

- Color selection is achieved through a quick list menu or a detailed color editor.

Features :

- Tools :

     - color selector,
     - pen,
     - eraser,
     - shapes : line, rectangle, filled rectangle, ellipse, filled ellipse,
     - color bucket,
     - color eyed dropper,
     - layers manager,
     - layer move,
     - horizontal & vertical gradient [*],
     - ruler [*],
     - selection
          - rectangle selection,
          - magic wand selection [*],
          - lasso selection [*],
          - selection rotation,
          - vertical & horizontal selection flipping,
          - selection move,
          - stamp [*],
     - canvas temporary horizontal flipping [*]: a trick to easealy detect if your pixel art proportion are wrong, mainly useful for character design,

- canvas sizes :
     - width and height from 16px up to 256px,
     - predifined squared canvas sizes & custom rectangular canvas sizes,

- colors with alpha chanel.



Little Pixels is a freemium app: it can be dowloaded for free, the main features are available and some ads are displayed.
A premium version in app purchase is proposed. It removes ads and unlocks tools (those marked with [*] in the list above).

Sincerely hope this tool will find it's place in the pocket of people who like drawing pixels on the go.
I would love to see what pixel artists (beginner or pro) could do with Little Pixels.
For my part, I still have a long way to go before making great pixel art .

Any comments or feature suggestions are welcome.
