開依個post,主要都係想推廣下pixel art同迫自己練多啲畫pixel art。大家鍾意嘅都可以放自己嘅作品上嚟一齊交流下。
我想學pixel art,有咩建議?
Q:我想學pixel art,有咩建議?
A:
初初開始畫可以試下用細canvas同細size嘅palette先(例如16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 4色, 8色, 16色, monochromatic palette之類)因為需要處理嘅pixels同顏色會少D,咁樣用嘅時間都會比較少同容易捉到畫pixel art嗰種感覺。
搵教學睇下,理解下pixel art嘅一啲原理、workflow,再睇埋主流畫畫嘅理論 (Pixel Art其實同其他唔同嘅digital art/ traditional art都係一樣,萬變不離其中,並唔存在pixel art會容易啲依樣嘢,所以如果你畫畫嘅理論同基礎打得好,你畫起上嚟都會事半功倍),又可以睇下D高手嘅圖嚟偷下師,唔好怕衰怕比人批評,去啲 pixel art forum/ discord server同人交流下,跟住就係練習。

如果有budget,又真係想長畫嘅,可以考慮買drawing tablet嚟畫 (喺screen上面畫嗰啲或者普通畫板,睇你邊樣順手),我覺得會順手過用mouse,畫D大少少嘅圖嗰陣嘅分別會大D,特別係你畫D比較圓,多c curve s curve嘅嘢,用mouse會無咁易勾到心目中嘅形狀出嚟,用筆會易啲同快啲。
網上有好多唔同嘅免費tutorial,搵個自己覺得鍾意嘅嚟慢慢睇。(純粹我主觀意見:個人唔太推薦youtube講中文嗰啲,因為我覺得佢哋都唔係畫得好靚)
Software/ 軟件
電腦
整合一下比較多人用嘅pixel art software比有興趣嘅人參考
以下都係電腦用嘅software
1. Aseprite (USD$19.99) (個人用緊)
專門設計用嚟畫pixel art,一路都更新緊新功能
https://www.aseprite.org/
2. Pyxel Edit (USD$9/ Free) (以前用開,但之後轉咗用aseprite)
Free version會少咗好多功能,例如animation
都係專門設計用嚟畫pixel art,但2018年之後就好似停咗更新
但佢畫tile set好好用,可以用埋嚟做game scene mockup

3. GIMP (Free) (未用過但我估對有畫開嘢嘅人應該都唔太陌生)
https://www.gimp.org/
4. GraphicsGale (未用過但有專業嘅pixel artist推薦佢多過aseprite)
https://graphicsgale.com/us/
5. Photoshop (HKD158/月)
用PS畫要set一輪先畫得,所以我都唔係太鍾意用佢嚟畫
