Pixel Art History
Pixel art, as it is known today, goes back at least as far as 1972 when Richard Shoup wrote SuperPaint and with the Xerox PARC software. However, the concept of pixel art may go back thousands of years with traditional art forms such as cross-stitching (or more generally, counted-thread embroidery) which uses small units which can be filled with thread to create a pattern or “drawing” of sorts. The painting style known as "pointillism" is also very similar to pixel art.
Pixel images were originally the only type of image which could be displayed on computers due to resolution constraints. Their colour values were also restricted to a small subset of the colours used on computers today. After black and white came 8-bit colour, leading to the distinctive 8-bit pixel art that we know today. Due to these constraints, all early computer games had to use pixel art for their visual elements. Of course, as screen resolution increased and computing power became better, the pixellated quality of game art assets became less visible.
Presently, there are still many games which employ a pixel art style. These are usually indie games, or games where a pixel art style makes the game more visually appealing. People who draw and paint pixel art are (predictably) called pixel artists.
Professional pixel artists generally use expensive software like Adobe Photoshop to create their art and sprites, but of course, this is not necessary for a beginner. Online pixel art apps like this one allow you to create pixel art on a simple grid and instantly share it with friends.
