Pixel Art / Re: Learning to AA

The picture looks great! Your AA looks pretty blurry though. You need to keep in mind when doing this manually, what your intention is for each pixel. most aa routines take varying amounts of samples from around each pixel to come up with some averaged value for the pixel being AA'd. they don't stray from that formula and they do what they do pretty well. So why do it yourself? You know more about the picture (and the point that you're representing with each pixel) than a simple algorythm can. This here document "A pixel is not a little square!" Is possibly outdated but it goes a good way into various sampling methods and it really helped me understand more about AA.
