A fantastic informative and entertaining book
Let's be honest, no artbook will ever make you a master, but this one will get you a long way toward understanding and being able to create pixel art. It walks you through installing and using some of the more popular programmes used to create pixel art and gives a good background on techniques and tricks you can use.It's easy to understand and I found it entertaining too. I knew a bit about pixel art before and had tentatively tried and I found the book really helped me. I would recommend it for beginners and intermediates, but I think even people who really know what they are doing might get something out of it.

Disappointing book
Thought it would be a helpful book on pixel art, but it was very disappointing, telling you things you can find out for free on youtube or elsewhere.

Pratico e divertente
Ottimo libro per imparare la pixel art, ricco di disegni, spunti e guide su come avanzare passo passo nel processo creativo.Scritto in un inglese non troppo complesso e quindi adatto anche ai meno avvezzi alla lingua.

Gut um ins Thema Pixelart zu kommen, mehr aber auch nicht.
Der Titel des Buchs "Make Your Own Pixel Art" suggeriert, das man mit diesem Buch lernen würde, wie man selbst Grafiken im Pixel Art Stil erstellen kann. Nachdem ich das Buch durch bin muss ich leider sagen: Nein, genau das tut das Buch leider nicht. Es ist vielmehr eine kleine Einführung was genau Pixel Art ist, welche verschiedenen Techniken es gibt und welche Fehler man vermeiden sollte. Das alles ist vollkommen ok, wenn es dann noch zusätzlich einen Workshop gebe, der Schritt für Schritt erklärt/zeigt wie ich all diese Techniken in der Praxis anwende. Stattdessen bleibt das Buch in diesen Momenten stehts waage, ala: "Jetzt bist Du drann: Zeichne mal Objekt X und verwende Schattierungen" ohne vorher wirklich erklärt zu haben wie ich das denn bewerkstellige.Gut ist einzig die recht detaillierte Einführung in das Programm Aseprite (was ich definitiv empfehlen kann). Wer hingegen ein anderes Programm bevorzugt, für den sind die ersten Kapitel im Buch natürlich "für die Tonne".Fazit:Ja das Buch gibt einen netten Überblick darüber woraus Pixelart besteht, was die Grundelemente wie Outlines, Shading etc. sind. Das ist hilfreich und 3 Stenre Wert. Sobald es dann aber ans eingemachte gehen müsste, lässt einem das Buch dann leider im Regen stehen. Ein Lehrbuch ist Make Your Own Pixel Art so leider nicht.3/5 Sterne.
