Explore Game Animations With These Pixel Art GIFs
Game creator (and co-founder of MiniBoss game studio) Pedro Medeiros knows pixel art and wants to teach you. Every Tuesday since September, he posts an animated GIF that showcases the animation aspect.
Some focus on pixel art, such as removing corners or imitating movement less than one pixel in size . Others explain more general artistic techniques such as painting ruins or bringing fire to life . Others deal with aspects of game design such as level design and character design .
Each tip is so specific, yet so elegant and compact, it’s fun to read if you plan to try it yourself. It’s like flipping through an animation cookbook. Medeiros GIFs are canon animation tutorials with Khan Academy’s Pixar in a Box series or Disney’s 12 principles of animation .
