    a
  color palette, designing characters, backgrounds, items,
    making
  animation and even how to start freelancing. You will also
    learn
  a lot about game design principles and how art is connected
    with
  game design. If you are new to art (or pixel art) or want to
  create better art for your indie game then this course is for
  you. This course is always growing with ?new lessons. If there
  is a topic that you would like me to cover, you can message me
  and I will make it. I am on Udemy and Discord server every day
  and I also stream on Discord every month so you can easily get
  into contact with me. By purchasing this course you get a
  LIFETIME access to this course, including all future updates.
  The course started with only 60 videos, now it's over 200. And
  there are more videos in the making! I am available every day
    on
  Udemy and Discord  - to give you feedback, to help you
    overcome
  your limits, to help you become a better artist in fun and
  relaxing way. I'm here for you every step of the way if you
    need
  me. Discord (3000+ members) also provides certain benefits
    once
  you reach a certain role on the server such as getting access
    to
  exclusive channels. The wonderful community there also
    provides
  a place for you to share your work, get feedback or even just
  hang out and chill with people of similar interest! Connect
    and
  work with other people on game jams (if you want). Yes, even
    if
  you want to find game coders and music compositors (or if
    you're
  one who's looking for an artist)! This course has 3 big parts:
  beginner [B], intermediate [I] and advanced [A]. Each section
    is
  marked with a letter inside square brackets at the end of it's
  title with corresponding difficulty. This course will
    strengthen
  your foundations in art and pixel art. It will build your
  confidence in your art and give you the information you need
    to
  continue improving your pixel art and start making money. By
    the

  for different game genres with practical game design.
    Languages
  and subtitles: entire course is available in multiple

  English subtitles have been manually reviewed, fixed and they
  work properly. Please note that other languages for subtitles
  have been auto-translated from English language. While I'm
