Learn to create a pixel style element from an image in Illustrator. You will learn a smart workflow for turning any image into pixel art using an Illustrator effect and a custom rendered grid. You will color your art using the Live Paint tool. It's a fun and practical way to create pixel art without having to use the pen tool or draw the shapes manually. 

In this video I also review the Benq Screenbar Plus.
