Postgraduate Certificate in Drawing for Video Games
.
Drawing is one of the most important skills in video game creation, as it allows visualizing and communicating the creators' ideas to the game designers.
Character creation: Drawing is used to create characters that will be part of the game, from the initial design to the expressions and animations they will require later on.
Level design: Drawing is essential for the design of the levels or environments where the game will be developed, in terms of appearance, environment and atmosphere.
Object creation: Drawing is also used to create specific objects and features of the game, including weapons, vehicles, scenery elements, among others.
Preliminary sketches and concepts: Game creators use drawing as a tool to explore different ideas and concepts for characters, levels or game objects.
Final art: Once the visual style of the video game is defined, drawing is used to create the final art, which consists of more detailed and elaborate designs for characters, levels, objects and other game elements.
Drawing is a vital skill in video game creation, and is used to visualize and communicate ideas through a visual language. In some cases, drawing can be replaced or supplemented by digital techniques, such as 3D modeling or CGI animation. However, the value of drawing in the video game creative process will remain fundamental.
An important aspect in this course are the practical projects, where students must apply the techniques and skills acquired for the creation of characters and scenarios for video games, through the use of digital drawing tools. By the end of the course, students will have a thorough understanding of how to create visual content for video games, as well as a portfolio of work to demonstrate their skill in creating digital art for games.
