I’ve seen tons of CSS Art floating around the internet for years. Recently, I stumbled upon this Medium article by Eva Lettner that inspired me to do this. Granted, it’s 4 years old but it’s still relevant. I figured I’d try my hand at it. Pikachu is made mostly with HTML and CSS3, lots of pseudo elements, a flex box wrapper, and some light JavaScript. This was my first pass at making CSS art and I’m kind of proud of this one. This wasn’t done via tutorial, just from scratch and modeled after an image. This project was interesting as it forced me to reevaluate the common ways I solve problems and think of alternatives to solutions. It also allowed me to be creative in a way that translating mockups to code doesn’t. Bonus: It was super fun and Pikachu came out adorable!
