  • wanted to try to make buttons that have 'unpressed' and 'pressed' versions
  • worked with 75X75 canvas
  • i think the flower/star shape of them is ok but i'm not super satisfied with the colors, i need to learn color theory lol
  • if anyone wants to use them - feel free!

today's pixel art:

  • tried out a 128X128 canvas
  • kinda wondering if i should've used a different color from pure black for the outline
  • hoppip looks...interesting lol, i tried
  • i keep just trying to make things that i have around my desk...wonder what else i should try?
  • maybe next time i'll try animating again

  • started this log
  • tried making a little bunny animation on a 32×32 canvas in Procreate
  • exporting was tricky - i wanted it to be 32X32, but had to make it much bigger to export it without blurriness
  • remembered Aseprite and installed it on my computer
  • my new plan is to make the pixel art in Aseprite or Pixquare and just use Procreate for other things/concepts!
