Udemy – The 2D Game Artist: Design Simple Pixel Art From Scratch 2019-9

Description

The 2D Game Artist: Design Simple Pixel Art From Scratch is a pixel art training course for designing two-dimensional games. Pixel art is a form of digital art that is created using computer software by juxtaposing pixels with different colors. Although this type of design dates back to the early days of the game industry, it is still used in the design of many two-dimensional games due to its artistic appearance. In most pixel designs the color spectrum used is very limited, even in some designs only two colors are used.

In the 2D Game Artist training course: Design Simple Pixel Art From Scratch, the design of icons and animations in the style of Pixel Art will be taught by GIMP software. In this training course, you will get acquainted with how to design different types of characters and environments in the form of pixel art by doing practical projects.
