Pixel Art and Pixel Animation

Today for the summer learning journey I had to make pixel art on my chromebook with Pixel Art Maker and for the step it up I made a christmas tree with lights animation on Piskel. I have used Piskel before so I knew how to do everything! for the pixel art I did tolaga bay with 2 surfers, 2 swimmers, 1 diver and 1 fisher. Did you know that there are pixels on every device we see? Even the one you're seeing this blog on! I learnt that with just these 3 colours, each pixel can generate over 16 million distinguishable colour variations! I enjoyed making the animation because on each slide I just had to go over the colour before it. It was tricky to make the wharf on the pixel art because there was no brown option. So I just made it a very dark orange and it looked fine. Next time I would change it so there was more people swimming and surfing. 
Here is my pixel art:


Here is the tree animation (sorry if it is blurry for you):

    Kia Ora Kylah,

    My name is Zana and I am a blog commenter from the Summer Learning Journey.

    This is an awesome post, you shared some great facts about pixels and your artwork looks amazing. I love all the detail you put into the people with surfers in their togs and the pohutukawa trees at the bottom.

    I think your tree animation looks great as well, I like how the lights change colors.

    Keep up the great work and I hope to see more of your posts over the summer.

    Ngā mihi nui,
    Zana Yates

      Kia Ora Zana!
      Thank you so much for commenting on my blog!
      The togs were actually really hard! I had to make sure that it had only some shading and not lots of it.
      The tree animation was pretty hard too because it made itself blurry when I downloaded it.
      Have you made an animation before?
      Mā te Wā,
