Description

Join the Pixel Art Revolution and start making efficient, professional quality pixel art today!

What is the Pixel Art Revolution you may ask? It’s an approach to making pixel art, based on the belief that creating it shouldn’t have to be a long and difficult process. In fact, modern technology can help us do what used to be done one pixel at a time better and faster! Working smarter, not harder — that’s the Pixel Art Revolution.

Whether you want to make money as a game artist, make assets for your own projects, or create freelance illustrations, this is the course to help get you there. Armed with the knowledge packed into this course you'll sharpen your existing skills and learn the techniques needed to create professional quality pixel art and animations in less time!

We’ll start out by getting Photoshop set up for maximum speed and efficiency, and by the end of the course you’ll have made game-ready assets across the 3 most common styles of pixel art games by creating:

An isometric building for an RTS game

An animated side-scroller level mockup

And a populated top-down/RPG map

Plus, you’ll gain the knowledge needed to build a killer library of custom, reusable resources you can pull from whenever you need!

Throughout the lessons you’ll create assets ranging from

color palettes

custom brushes

Photoshop automations

DIY patterns

map tiles

unique characters

custom props

multiple animations

In addition to the course lectures, you’ll also get digital copies of everything I make throughout the course plus a few bonuses! That means you’ll finish the material with new knowledge, all of the course files, AND a bunch of my personal custom brushes, templates, and other time-saving files I’ve amassed over the years as a pixel artist.

The truth is, if you have the right tools for the job, you can get a high quality result in a fraction of the time. When you’re making pixel art, don't decide to be just good or fast — make the decision to be BOTH! Using the information in this course you can do that very thing.

Each section focuses on a specific project with a real-world premise to get you used to creating pixel art for real jobs and indie game development.

Every lesson builds upon the last to help get you to Pixel Pro status at a consistent pace. After each lecture you’ll walk away with a new skill, knowledge, or game asset which means you can go from never having made pixel art before to creating animated assets in as little as only a few days!
