Krusty the Clown, you are under arrest for armed robbery. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say blah blah blah blah blah blah.— Wiggum
"Pixel art" is the name given to pictures which are drawn pixel-by-pixel. They do
not use any line-smoothing techniques and as such, can be reduced to very few colours
(typically 16 or fewer).
This type of images are common of old console video games (such as the Game Boy) which have very few display pixels and limited colours - yet the images look so realistic.
