Studying & Drawing Artistic Anatomy!

Knowledge of the human body can be an invaluable tool for artists – as long as they study of anatomy is approached in the right way. Many artists debate the question, “Why should you study anatomy?” But it’s less often that you hear an equally important question: “How do you study anatomy?”. As we shall see, there are many resources available to help you pursue your studies, including books, videos, lectures, and sculptural approaches.

GAME ART & DESIGN (RESEARCH BASED WORKSHOP)

Have you ever wanted to be a Video Game Designer or Game Artist? but don’t know where to start?

Quite often we hear people say they want to be a Game Designer, and then begin to discuss concept art and environment designs. What is it about these two totally different professions that gets people so confused?

But when it comes to making games, there are Game Designers, who design the actual mechanics and systems of a game itself and Game Artists, who ‘design’ and create the art for a game.

Here’s a way to think about it, if you’re not sure… try answering these questions:

Do you love drawing and painting?
Do you love sketching and animating characters and/or environments?
Do you think that you would enjoy making 3d models and animations?
If this sounds a bit like you, then you’re probably a game artist!

Do you enjoy writing and structuring stories?
Do you analyse games when you play them, and come up with your own game ideas and mechanics?
Do you enjoy designing board games or card games?
Do you like making new scenarios or levels in games that have level editors?
Do you enjoy organising and coordinating projects?
If this sounds a bit like you, you’re most likely a game designer!

So what is a Game Designer and why do we need them?

THE ROLE OF THE GAME DESIGNER
A Game Designer has an integral role in game development, as they are the person who makes a game fun and engaging. But this doesn’t mean any other role is less important. A programmer makes the game function, and an artist makes it pretty, but just because it functions and looks pretty doesn’t mean you will want to play it.To make a game engaging, a designer needs to cover many things such as the story, levels, user interface, and user testing. So if the game is functional and looks great, but is boring - the game designer needs to find out why and fix it.

THE ROLE OF THE GAME ARTIST
Even though a designer and artist work together as a team, the artist’s role is to create the artwork which compliments the genre and style of the game. Hence, you might say the artist’s role is to tell the story through art. Once the art is created, Artist provides a library of 3D objects that the designer would use to create a final functioning level, allowing for the game to have the right mood, style and consistency.

GAME ART
Create captivating graphics for the gaming world.
Learn how to take game production to a whole new level of realism. In PixArt Studio's Game Art program, you will learn to accurately capture the way characters, objects, and environments look and interact in real life, and recreate them. You will learn the fundamentals of interactive graphics development so that you gain the professional skills to become an effective member of a game development team.

GAME ART Topics:
Character Design and Creation
Texture Painting and Sculpting
Compositing Fundamentals
Level Assembly and Lighting
Character Animation
Game Project Development

GAME DESIGN
Take your game ides to new levels.
If you've imagined concepts, characters, and stories that would translate into an impactful video game, PixArt Studio's Game Design program can teach you how to bring those ideas to life. In this program, you'll be exposed to the many sides of the game creation process – including programming and implementation, character sketches, gameplay mechanics, storytelling, and more. You will also learn the production processes used by top studios to design and produce best-selling games so that you can hone your skills and translate your ideas to the screen.

GAME DESIGN Topics:
Level Design
Game Mechanics
Prototyping
Design and Development Analysis
Aesthetics and Immersion
Design Tools

Prerequisite:
* Basic understanding on Game programming(C++ ,Java or C #).
