Learn how to create art for your games with my game art act, useful for game devs, artists, pixel artists and more!

Whether you are interested in making games, or a game developer making your own game, looking how game art can be broken down into 3 simple elements can help you look at games from a fresh perspective. In this video I describe what I call the game art act, how each games art direction can be broken down into 3 simple elements; atmosphere, clarity, and theme.
I break down the art of some of your favourite games, including pixel art masterpieces like blasphemous, stardew valley, graveyard keeper, and celeste, as well as fan favourite 2D game hollow knight.
Then I show you my full process for creating a game art mockup with pixel art, from reference, to value, to colour, all the way to a finished game art mockup, before setting you a challenge so you can do the same.
Whether you are a beginner gamedev, 3d artist, 2d artist, or pixel art enthusiast, I hope these game dev tips can help you in your learning and game development journey. If you have anything to share please let me know in the comments, I try to respond to everyone!
