I kept getting bored learning pixel art, so I built a site where you practice by copying
I'm the kind of person who learns by repetition. Watching tutorials didn't stick. Reading guides didn't stick. The only thing that worked was doing the same thing over and over until my hands knew it.
But pixel art tutorials are boring to repeat. So I built something else.
PixelArtChallenge — the gallery is filled with pixel arts made by other users. You pick one, a canvas loads with the reference, and you draw it yourself pixel by pixel. No instructions. No hand-holding. Just copy it until you get it right. When you're done you get a similarity score.
There's also a 1v1 mode — you and a friend draw the same art at the same time, whoever scores higher wins. That's actually what makes me keep coming back. Competing against someone makes it way less boring.
Still early — would love feedback from people who've tried learning pixel art. Does this kind of repetition practice actually work, or am I missing something?
