Pixel Art Academy: Learn Mode

Pixel Art Academy: Learn Mode is an educational game that teaches you to draw pixel art through interactive tutorials. You learn the rules behind pixel art lines, then apply them by drawing fan art and designing and illustrating your own pinball machine.

Learn pixel art

The game’s content is organized around the seven elements of art: line, shape, form, space, value, color and texture. The current version covers lines, with about 2–3 hours of gameplay for a minimal playthrough. Completing all challenges and putting extra effort into the game projects can take longer. The other six elements are planned for development during Early Access.

Interactive tutorials teach you to use drawing tools, followed by intermediate lessons on pixel art fundamentals, with a focus on line art and jaggies. Drawing challenges let you copy sprites from other indie games or draw fan art from reference.

Create and play

You can customize the game Snake by designing video game sprites, and create your own pinball machine. You can play both games as well as make them. The game also includes more than six hours of background music for drawing sessions.
