About the class

Hello, I'm Yoo Jeong-seok, a pixel art designer. I've been working as a pixel art designer for about 5 years from 2017 until now, participating in various indie game graphics work, and I've shared my experience and know-how to pixel art beginners at the Game Academy.

What do you think good graphics are? Unlike other complex and difficult design tools, I think pixel art is a wonderful genre where even beginners can easily follow a world of imagination. If you experience the world of creative graphics that only pixel art can create, the desire to create good graphics will naturally arise.

Through this class, I'll take you to the stage where you can find your own style and work without just drawing along. If you spend enough time practicing the basic techniques I'll teach you, you'll be able to fully digest any style.

What makes this class special

❶ The world of dots expressed using only Aseprite and the mouse

In this class, we'll only use a paid program called Aseprite and a mouse. If you are comfortable with a tablet, you can use a tablet, but it's not necessary, so anyone can get started right away without burdensome expenses. Aseprite is a program dedicated to pixel art and has an intuitive interface. I'll share the efficient work methods and know-how I use.

❷ Decorate your own space using objects

You can learn how to easily approach and draw anything from simple objects to hard-to-express natural objects. I'll show you the principles and methods, look at references, and teach you how to do your own pixel art.

You will learn how to express various spaces using the basic work methods you learned earlier. You'll learn how to express with a top view and organize a space. Create a variety of objects and place them on the background of your choice. Your own dot space is created. As you practice, you can create more diverse and complex spaces.

❸ Animation created with sprite sheets

Create sprite sheet animations. Animations can also be produced with the Aseprite program. I'll teach you a simple animation that's difficult to get started with. Even with a few sheets, you can create a fun enough animation. Add vibrant movement to your pixel art.
