How I Started Off

June 10, 2025

I started with a blank 64x64 canvas with a measly toolbar and just let my mind wander...

Eventually, I landed on this advanced UI you see now. Here's what I learned.

The process began with sketching out a basic layout in my mind. I wanted something that felt both modern and nostalgic, capturing the essence of classic pixel art while being functional for today's users.

One of the biggest challenges was making sure the interface scaled properly across different screen sizes while maintaining it's aesthetic. I ended up creating multiple versions of each UI element at different resolutions.

The color picker took a very long time to get right, and it still isn't perfect. I went through a couple iterations before picking the version you see today on the canvas page. That darn off-color eyedropper tool preset is still giving me trouble.

I'm still learning as I go, and I'm always open to feedback and suggestions. If you have any ideas for future blog posts, feel free to reach out!

Welcome to PixelArtNexus! (Or as I like to call it, PAN)

Jun 10, 2025

Welcome to the very first blog post on PixelArtNexus! I'm excited to share this journey with you.

This project started as a simple idea: create a pixel art editor that's both powerful and accessible to everyone. After weeks of development, we're finally ready to share it with the world.

What makes PixelArtNexus special? Here are a few key features:

  • Intuitive brush tools with customizable sizes and shapes
  • Layer support for complex artwork
  • Real-time collaboration features (coming soon!)
  • Cloud storage for your creations
  • Export options for various formats and sizes

But this is just the beginning. I have so many exciting features planned, including animation tools, community galleries, and much more!

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your feedback and support mean everything to me as I continue to build and improve PAN.

That's all the blog posts so far, stay tuned for more updates and insights!
