Pixel Art:
Pixel art is an art form manly used in 2D games, it started off as a very simple art form as it was the only acceptable art form for video games as the technology back then were not able to withstand high polygon counts and high pixel resolution. A classic example of a pixel art video game is space invaders. Here you can see pixel art in its original form, mainly one colour you cab see the sprites are very simple shapes meaning they would be easier to make.
But as time has passed, pixel art has developed, becoming more complex, though it is still an easy art form, the use of different colours allows the artist to incorporate shading into there designs. pixel art for 2D sprites commonly use shading to make them look more 3D and more realistic, a common example is in the "Pokémon" games, all of the sprites for the game are pixel art e.g, you can see the pixels on this picture, and that is the in-game sprite, as you can see shading has been incorporated in this design
3D pixel art is another used design style, the most common of which is the game "Minecraft", this game is, in its basics, rearranging pixels on a world to build things, all of the designs, from the dirt block to Steve are all pixel art
Pixel art is one of my favorite art styles, it can be used to make a lot of unique pieces of work, simple and effective, also, if used well it can make a game look unique and make it stand out.
