Create timeless game art. Master sprites, tilesets, color palettes, and animation cycles using Aseprite.
Pixel art is a style, not a limitation. This course teaches the artistic principles of low-res art. You will master Aseprite, the industry-standard tool. Learn to choose cohesive color palettes, draw character sprites with readability, and create seamless tilesets for level building. We focus heavily on animation principles (squash and stretch, anticipation) to bring tiny characters to life. Perfect for programmers wanting to make their own assets.
Estimated completion time: 21 lessons • Self-paced learning • Lifetime access
