What is Isometric Pixel Art

Isometric pixel art is form of digital art. It can be create through the use of raster graphics software and most of those images are edited on the pixel level. And for those old computer graphics, video and mobile phone games are mostly in pixel art to form of it. As we know that, when we zoom in for any images in computer, we can see clearer for the pixel form, and each pixel form size is same size as any other pixel, but it can be fill it in any colors as you want to and it can fit together with other pixels as a mosaic.

Findings
The pixel art was first published by Adele Goldberg and Robert Flegal of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 1982.

History of pixel art
For this history of pixel art, I knew that they are some traditional art forms, such as cross-stitch, mosaic and bead work, actually were bearing to same similarity to pixel art. that is for constructing pictures out of small colored units and same thing to pixels of modern digital computing. By talking about the concept, we need to go back about 10 years before that, for example in Richard Shoup's Super Paint system in 1972.

Where it can be found/used
Now many of the pixel art you can find it in old computer and video games, graphing calculator games, mobile phone games and even in the Icons for operating systems with the limited of graphics abilities. But nowadays, pixel art has many of the evolution, and what you see in the graphic in game has increased to three-dimensional view. But what has never changed is the mobile phone; you still can find them in old type of mobile phone are mostly in pixel art.
