About Pixel Art Academy: Learn Mode

Please note that during Early Access the game does not cover all areas of art yet!
The game's content is organized around the 7 elements of art: line, shape, form, space, value, color, and texture. The current version only covers lines with about 2–3 hours of gameplay for a minimal playthrough (more if you complete all the challenges and put extra effort into game projects). The other 6 elements are planned to be developed during Early Access.
Features
- An immersive user interface with a cozy, relaxing atmosphere.

- Carefully designed interactive tutorials teach how to use drawing tools, followed by intermediate lessons covering pixel art fundamentals with a focus on line art and jaggies.

- Put theory into practice with drawing challenges where you copy other indie game sprites or draw fan art from reference.

- Design video game sprites as you customize the game Snake and create your very own pinball machine. Of course, you get to play the games as well!

- Get in the groove with more than 6 hours of background music to accompany your drawing sessions.

Future development
Please keep in mind that the game is designed, drawn, and coded by a single person—me! I also have to run the business side of things, do marketing, and organize collaborations with other artists, all of which take time. Expect slow, but steady progress. I have been working on the bigger Pixel Art Academy universe for 9 years now and I don't intend to stop any time soon.
I also keep a completely transparent development process. Visit my YouTube channel for frequent devlogs or catch me anywhere on the internet to chat about current progress.

Fun way to learn pixel art - yes it is an effective way to learn as well3 found this helpful
Great app/game for those keen to learn how to do pixel art. The author put a lot of attention to detail! Lots of useful practical assignments and explanations.1 found this helpful
Great tutorial for pixel art. Picked up a few tips even though Ive been doing pixel art for years. Really looking forward to coming chapters on form, color and value, which i find the most tricky myself. Textures would be great too. Animation, dynamic lightning and such would be a phenomenal.1 found this helpful
Pixel Art Academy is at the moment in early access still, but Retro has already surpassed my university in creating a curriculum that is not only fulfilling, but is excellently paced. The program starts you from the ABSOLUTE basics of art and continues to build upon it in a way that makes it feel as if youre being gently guided on. Most of the lessons (as of now) primarily focused on you tracing and coloring premade lines and shapes which I've seen people complain about. Honestly, I like this approach, there's always a blurb about what the lesson is demonstrating. Once I finish it, I like to zoom all the way out and really look at what I specifically did and what I can learn from it. I'm so excited to keep messing with this program as I wait for more lessons to roll out.1 found this helpful
Great learning tool that's broken down step by step. I'm having a lot of fun completing the lessons and projects. A great resource for anyone looking to learn pixel art, and just a fun chill time doing the little exercises. Highly recommend!
A great guide to creating pixel art, with practical tutorials, lots of reference material and plenty of objectives to keep you going. I have learned a lot by going through the material and challenges.
