Piskel is a free online editor for animated sprites and pixel art. You can create animations in your browser, rework existing example sprites and create your own new sprites. Experiment with this to see if you can create five new characters for a fictional 2D game called ‘The Battle’.

My time at the college was definitely life changing, I have learnt a lot of new skills, and obviously it’s a completely new experience. The support was great, there was always people there to help and try make it as easy as they can for you. The college is really fantastic, it has helped me on the way to get to what I want to achieve within my career goals.
