Pixel art is an art form that adds an artist’s passion and zeal to each pixel on a screen. With pixel art, you can create works of art that go well with the currently trendy retro style!

Draw Quality Work Anywhere

I think pixel art is the most financially friendly drawing method. Anyone can work quickly without expensive equipment, and you can work on computers with poor specs because of pixel art’s small capacity. And the editing is easy! Thanks to this, you can quickly create quality work anywhere, whenever you want.

It’s Okay if You Can’t Draw Well


If you learn pixel art, you can capture any scene with a retro style, from cute characters to beautiful scenery.

Studio Pants

I'm Studio Pants, a pixel artist who loves space and bright colors.

I recreate landscapes I like with pixel art and produce stationery goods.

I’m mainly involved with sharing my artwork through online platforms such as grafolio, twitter, and instagram and through offline shops and illustration fairs.

I’m happiest when I complete illustrations and open packages when I order goods. It’s always different to see what you’ve always seen on your monitor versus the products you produced.

I’ve always been interested in games with pixel graphic designs, from retro pixel games to newer, higher quality pixel games. When I was younger, I enjoyed drawing pixel art, but I had forgotten about it for a while.

After some time had passed, I was in college and had to do homework, but I didn’t have a tablet I could use at home.

I was looking for a digital drawing method using a mouse, and rediscovered my passion for pixel art.

After that moment, I started work filling in dots with a laptop and mouse.
