We Interviewed Pixel Artist Mirru

1. How long have you been creating art?

I’ve been doing pixel art since early 2019. I’ve only dabbled in other art in years prior but nowhere near as serious as pixel art for me now

2. What advice would you give to new artists?

My advice to new artists would be to study tutorials as much as possible while learning techniques, practicing on their own. Also studying veteran pixel artists and trying some of their stylistic choices in your own work is a great way to see what you like!

3. What is your favorite thing about pixel art?

My favorite thing about pixel art is that it often behaves like a little puzzle. Every pixel is a tiny little choice and it’s fascinating how so many little choices can add up to a beautiful artwork.

4. Goals for 2023?

My goals for 2023 is to make more time for creating. When I first started doing pixel art I was so much more productive than I am now haha. But I have plenty of things on my list of ideas to create that I’d love to make, it’s just a matter of carving out time in my busy life to do so

5. Where can people support your work?

The best ways to support my work is sharing it on Twitter. And I have a ko-fi page for donations as well as a print shop over on inprnt
