Intro
As I was making my game Dwell, I realized that my lack of art skills was going to hold me back from making the games to the quality I wanted. I was relying on AI assets that I hand-edited, but it wasn’t going to be enough: AI just isn’t that good or consistent.
So, like all of my problems: I decided to solve it the hard way and learn how to art.
Using a copy of Aseprite I’ve had for a while, I’ve started drawing pixel art on a 16x16 canvas, practicing various techniques.
I also picked up a book, Art Fundamentals, on recommendation from a friend.
This page contains some of my favorite pixel drawings I’ve made - like a learning log.
