Title
Sketch to pixel art
Goal
Convert traditional or digital sketches to pixel art
Description
Pixel art is characterised by constraints, such as low image resolution and limited colour palette. Silhouettes and lines, to be visually pleasing, need to conform to certain requirements with regards to the length and orientation of the sub-segments they're composed of (see resources). Freehand drawing support for such "perfect lines" exists in tools such as Aseprite and Krita. However, conversion of existing black-and-white sketches or existing pixel art that doesn't conform to such rules, is not currently possible. Depending on interest and challenge, there's opportunity to create a tool to modify existing rough high-resolution raster sketches to pixel art with perfect lines, or modify existing line art (e.g. from an SVG file or pixel art image) to pixel art that conforms to the visually pleasing line constraints.
