In this tutorial we'll be going over how to create a pixel art design using Affinity Designer. This is accomplished by using the Pixel Tool located in the Pixel Persona. We'll also be enabling a 1x1 pixel grid to assist us with our drawing.
The best part about using Affinity Designer to do something like this is that the finished artwork will be infinitely scalable without any quality loss or (unintended) pixelation.
