I've gotten a few compliments on my pixel art lately. I think that a lot of people are pretty scared of picking up a paint brush and trying to paint something for the first time. This is a really easy project for a first timer. (I painted the center one today)

Time: 2-3 hours
Materials: pencil, ruler, canvas (you can buy the pre-primed), acrylic paint, paintbrush
1. Choose your image. I like to use SNES sprites. For example, if you wanted to do an image of Link from A Link to the Past you should google "A Link to the Past Sprites" and try to find a suitable image.
2. Draw your grid. I usually use a 1cmx1cm grid. Make sure that the image you have chosen will fit on your canvass using your grid size.
3. Paint by numbers! Or pretty close, anyway. Paint one color at a time. I usually save the background for last.
4. Enjoy your new piece of art!
