This course is designed to help you learn the basics and beyond while painting and creating objects and characters, such as dolls, in Pixels Art, either in a more realistic or a cartoon style. As in any other art, the principals of art does apply. You will learn the basics of how to enhance your pixels art and the extra little touches to it. This course will help you to better create your Pixels Art and learn more about the whys, the hows and the do nots in the Pixels Art World. Examples, tutorials, and some references supplied.
This is a six-week course with a seventh week for wrap-up and review.
This course is for the basic to advanced user. It assumes a working knowledge of the graphics program and complete familiarity with the tool locations and a working knowledge of the paint brush. If you do not meet these criteria, I recommend taking the Creative Painting with PhotoImpact: Paint Tool Proficiency course or any other courses related to your graphics program prior to enrolling in this class. You can use any graphics program as long as it has layer capabilities, but you will have to know your program very well.
