Where to start learning how to create 2D art assets?
Friday, November 26, 2021 - 21:23
Hello,
I have an idea for an interactive visual novel that I want to build. I have worked for AAA studios as an engineering intern before and while I have no problem with programming, I don't have an artistic bone in my body. So I wanted to ask where I can start learning how to create 2D assets for my game. I do have a visual style in mind but no technical skills to materialize them. Premade and paid assets won't exactly work for this project due to the visual style I have in mind being a little unconventional.
Can someone point me towards resources a beginner at 2D art can leverage?
There are classes you can take for this. For example, I haven't done it myself, but there is an Udemy class for 2D art.
You should start from the basics my friend :)
Art Fundamentals: Foundations of Painting and Drawing Course | Udemy
This particular Lecturer may advance you from 0 to >= 0 ...
No promises though ;)
I personally decided to learn pixel art first and almost instantly decided it was my style due to the fact that you dont need to develop your drawing hand through pencil/paper interaction. With pixel art, mouse and keyboard rule, combined with a good understanding of shape and form...
Good luck with your art journey!
