Details

In order to make your pixel art look more interesting and professional, you need to add texture and details to it. You can achieve such result by dithering elements as well as, by other pattern types. Sometimes you can add a blot effect, i.e. a spot on the object with a little different color than the object itself. For making pixel art more realistiс you can use shadows, blinks, artefacts like scratches, chips and even dirt and traces of use.
