Why use vectors and not pixel art?
The reason I chose vectors for my tutorials instead of doing pixel art lies in the more “constructive” approach. A lot of “non-artists” find it hard to create something from scratch. The usual comment I get is “I can’t even draw a stick figure”. Drawing is a very different approach to placing set shapes on the screen and “build” your design. Using circles and squares as a base for most designs allows those with limited drawing skills to create game art.
