Xmas cat pixel art questions

Why does the hat make my cat look like a red triangle?

Keep the face large enough beneath the brim and preserve the ear and cheek edges. A smaller hat can communicate the theme without taking over the entire canvas.

How do I keep white hat trim visible on a light background?

Use a soft gray outline or a slightly warmer canvas. Reserve the bright white for the trim itself and keep it separate from the cheek highlight.

Try your own xmas cat design

Fit the furthest hat tip and pom-pom inside the square before enlarging the face. Start with that shape in the pixel art maker.
