## Layers

Pixen lets you divide your artwork into multiple parts with layers.

Layers allow for tremendous flexibility, even in pixel art. For instance, you can draw a character, then make a new layer for his clothing and draw it all in the new layer. Any changes you make afterward will only affect the new layer, so if you accidentally erase a few pixels, you won't be erasing colors in the original layer.

A list of layers is displayed in the left pane of each document window.
