Complete Pixel Artist: Bring Your Game Ideas to Life

Create professional pixel art asset library: sprites, tilesets, characters, UI and animations for your own 2D games

Course Overview

Ever wanted to build the pixel art for your own game, not just use someone else's?

You don't need a traditional art background to do it, just the right guidance. Complete Pixel Artist takes you from a blank canvas to a full library of professional, game-ready art, sprites, tilesets, UI and animation, all built in one consistent style.

You'll start with the fundamentals: shapes, colour, lighting and texture, the core principles every pixel artist relies on. From there you'll build real game assets step by step, using the same repeatable rules a professional pixel artist would use, so nothing you make ends up a one-off that doesn't match the rest.

Reece uses Aseprite throughout the course, but you're free to follow along in Libresprite (free), Photoshop (if you already use it for other work) or Piskel (also free).

What's in the course?

  • Foundations: software setup, core tools and hotkeys, clean lines, canvas sizing, lighting and texture

  • Game-ready assets: UI, icons, potions, custom fonts and complete HUDs, plus furniture, barrels and treasure chests

  • Worlds and tilesets: top-down and platformer sprite sheets for grass, cave, water and dungeon settings, plus full landscape backgrounds

  • Characters: heroes, NPCs and bosses, built from slimes, flying enemies, humanoids and quadrupeds using one shared template

  • Animation: walk, jump and fly cycles for your characters, plus fire and water effects to bring your world to life

By the end you'll have the skills to build your own complete pixel art world from scratch, and every asset in it, ready to drop straight into your game engine.
