Design Notes: 14Γ16 Pixel Composition
This 14Γ16 grid (224 beads) uses 7 colors. The orange tracksuit dominates, with blue for the headband and shoulders, flesh for skin, yellow for the hair, black for details, and additional accents. The spiky blonde hair and the blue forehead protector with metal plate are the signature elements. The three whisker marks on each cheek are essential character details. Hard difficulty β requires careful color blending for the hair.
