Hey, so, haven't been here in a while.

I have tried getting back into doing pixel art by working on smaller pieces - 20x20 or thereabouts - for the past few weeks. Nothing worth showing off around here (for now), though. Now I wonder if anyone here has any tips on working with smaller pieces, at least in regards to getting better details out of them so they are more readable at their 1x size.

What say you, PJ?

http://https://www.deviantart.com/rhlpixels/art/Detailing-Small-Sprites-751623402 - RHLPixels' tutorial on detailing small sprites gave me the exact advice I needed for this particular issue of mine: "Small details become easier when you don't give them outlines."
