Pixel Art for Beginners

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

This comprehensive class will teach you the basics of pixel art, and will conclude with a simple animation to show you the full range of what is possible for beginners to progress through this medium!

You will require a program capable of pixel art:

-Piskel, I use this and highly recommend it for beginners as it is a free web software that you can jump straight into!

- Aseprite (which I recommend! Although it does cost around £12 but it is the best software and I use it in my videos)

-Photoshop (you can use this but it is much like using a bazooka to thread a needle, too much power!)

-Graphicsgale (this is free pixel art and animation software, though it can be a little hard to understand at first, it is very good!)

All of these programs work fine in reality, and my tutorials will be more about the very basics so you can branch out how you see fit for yourself!
