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:
