What is Pixel Studio?
Pixel Studio follows the key strong points from all the of the Pixarra TwistedBrush artist software products but with a focus on pixel art. This art, sometimes called retro, makes no attempt to hide pixels and sizes of images are often very small. Useful as utility for creating icons, sprites, and other small images for games and websites but also for art on its own. There is no surprise that pixel art is popular, it is simply fun!
Powerful Pixel Art Editing The user interface of Pixel Studio is designed for efficiency and elegance. Power of over a decade of development in the TwistedBrush product line brought to focus on the single task of pixel art.
Specialized ArtSet for Pixel Art TwistedBrush has always been known for its powerful and vast collection of brushes. The same is true for Pixel Studio. The program includes a collection of brushes designed just for pixel art.
Brush Variety Choices are important in pixel art as in any art. Here are a few pixel drawing brushes:
- Pure pixel brush. Solid pixels are panted everywhere the cursor goes. This is a dab placement brush. Rather than drawing a line, a square or circle are drawn.
- Anti-alias pure pixel. Same as previous but the pixels edges are smoothed.
- Pixel brush that draws as a connected line. This is a straight line brush, solid and anti-aliased.
A remembered powerful brush in Pixel Studio is the auto mask fill brush. Draw pixels within an enclosed area without worrying about going outside of the lines. Even change colors and your area is remembered because a mask is magically created for you behind the scenes.

Comments and Reviews
A poor quality money grab. Twisted brush the programs this program was spun off from, actually does have some cool pixel art uses, but this stripped down money grab doesn't even have the best pixel tools from it's elder brother.
Since I like Twisted Brush Pro I bought the studio set of programs too, just to support the dev, but watching the studio programs develop makes me wish I hadn't.
I thought ones like Pixel studio would get some love and turn into a good pixel art program, but instead it gets updated next to never and is missing way too many basic features for the price tag.
