Quick video tutorial from 2Dgameartguru.com on creating simple game characters using basic shapes in Inkscape.
In this video, I will explain the creation of a simple game character and variations of it using only simple shapes like rectangles, circles, and pills. I am arranging, colouring, scaling, and rotating simple objects to create something complex that would be ready to export and animate.
Most of the functionality shown in the video can be created with other software tools such as Adobe's Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Inkscape with minor alterations and different names for the tools used.

![PixelOver - Review - A great Tool for Transforming High Resolution Art into awesome Pixel Art
I stumbled across this tool and was immediately in love with it. PixelOver is in its early stages [this video was recorded with the Alpha V0.6] but it shows great promise and was good fun so far.
The tool allows you to turn hires art and vector graphics into pixel art quickly and conveniently. It has a lot more to offer than I could cover in this [initial] quick review. Go and check it out on itch.io:

![Affinity Designer Timelapse - Game Art Creation - A lovely Skeleton - #short
A short video from 2Dgameartguru.com on creating a [lovely] skeleton in vectors.
In this video, I will show the quick and easy creation of a cartoony skeleton using mainly circles and the node tool for a speedy [15 minute] process in Affinity Designer.
Most of it can be created with other software tools such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Inkscape.

![Inkscape Video Tutorial - Using Bend
I missed the most obvious choice in the last Pattern along Path video. Heres take 2 with a more obvious path effect in Inkscape for the infinite loop. Bend might not be as versatile, but its quick, works on groups, and is easy to edit.
In this video, I want to show you how to use the path effect alongside the Shape Builder Tool to create a multicoloured infinite loop [and other tracks like it].

![Affinity Designer Mini Tutorial - Playful Letters with Basic Shapes
In this video, I use letters and three basic shapes [circles, rectangles, and teardrop shapes] to create an illustrated alphabet.
Using only simple shapes and five colours [set as Global Colours] you can create rich and interesting designs without the need for drawing, pen, or pencil tool skills. I used the letter D for this video and added a duckling and some waterlilies as decoration.
