Teaching myself how to draw and animate game objects (Pixel Art)

Dumpsterfire Visual Art DK30 Quarantine 2020 5 9

Description

My friend had an idea for a game and I don’t have the tools or means for digital art software, so I said I would make the assets in pixel art. Then I proceeded to buy Aseprite and try learning using online resources but school got in the way of me having time to actually plan times to learn. Now with more time on my plate, I’m hoping to get most of the essential player animations done (3 hrs/day).
