So I'm just tryin to get some more time in each day doing pixel art and getting used to just making things, and enjoying it.

I came up with the idea of trying to draw something in successively higher resolutions, so that I'd challenge myself to understand how pixel art works at different levels of detail.

Part of the motivation for this is that I want to challenge myself to make higher res images with more detail, that take a little more time, and conversely, I'm also fascinated with how to convey the idea of some object, with the absolute minimum number of pixels possible.

With this image, I realised that you can basically make a planet using only one pixel.

However, one pixel on the page doesn't look like a planet. But if you create some other planets of various sizes, voila! Now you can have a single pixel, and in context, it's a planet!

The handy thing about planets, is you can do a bunch of different sized images, and they all look like a nice little constellation, so it actually ends up just being one kinda cool picture.

Anyway I had fun making this, and really looking forward to doing more of these exercises.
