    Rotating while holding shift used to not give perfect 90-degree rotations a few years ago so I asked the dev to make the 90-degree angles the same as when you click to have those specific rotations in the menus and he fixed it within a day. Great program and great dev.

    a capital Q looks like a lasso. in my mythology this is why Q is the hotkey for lasso.

    when I first saw aseprite I literally just wanted it because the style of it is sooooo freaking cute it's an adorable program
    and the fact that it's so nice to use just makes it all the more tempting to get

    I've been trying to break into Aseprite for awhile, but other tutorials dive extremely deep and are quite daunting. This was a great mix of useful content while being very digestible and not hours long. Thank you for the great content!

  • @cosmotect
    @cosmotect Год назад +60

    Excellent. I love how the developer of this tool was a sensible person that did not try to reinvent most of the hotkeys and straight up used PS's. I think that alone warrants a buy

      @平中山-b7y 4 месяца назад +3

      i cant believe anyone would want to stick with the default hotkeys all over the computer, in asperite or photoshop. I way prefer to just rest my hand in one spot and be able to hit all the useful keys. i get that its useful to think "ahh b for brush", but after you've pressed "index finger for brush" 10 times you'll never go back to relying on mnemonics

    This is a perfect example of a walkthrough video for me.
    Super concise and to the point. Talking quickly with not a lot of pauses. Everything was really clear and you gave great examples for every step.
    Thanks for putting this out!

    I was trying my hand at pixel art using Ps , but it lacks specific tools for this style. Your video convinced me to buy Aseprite. It really answered all my questions about the software. Thank you!

  • @Discordantmusic
    @Discordantmusic 7 месяцев назад +1

    I finally got around to compiling my own copy of aseprite today and your tutorial videos have been absolutely invaluable. They are PERFECT- no excess commentary, no dilly-dallying, just tips and jokes. Liked subscribed and bell'd. If you ever make more tutorials for aseprite (or anything else honestly, i can't stress enough how refreshing it is to just sit down, watch something, and get the exact information I needed!), I can guarantee that half the watch data will just be from my actually ADHD ass gratefully replaying over and over again as I forget things and need quick refreshers

  • @traviummorphine6901
    @traviummorphine6901 Год назад +2

    Thankyou very much for making a great easy to follow tutorial video. I got Aseprite about 2 days ago an have been feeling somewhat overwhelmed, when it came to all the tools an what they do. So again thankyou it has helped me start my pixel art journey 😀 long road ahead but it's going to be fun!

  • @astropossum
    @astropossum Год назад +9

    I'm a beginner at pixel art, used to draw 11 years ago and recently picked it back up. It's been amazing, I made a big project over the course of 2 1/2 weeks and I wish I watched this video earlier, the preview & symmetry tool would've come really handy. I'll 100% use it moving forward.
    Amazing video! very easy to understand. I also thank you for putting examples put into it on how and when to use the tools :P

  • @darkowl9
    @darkowl9 Год назад +3

    I have a suspicion that Q is the lasso because it looks like a rope loop, and G is paint bucket because in Photoshop it's the gradient tool (and gradient is grouped with the paint bucket). That's just my guess.

    I've been doing pixel art for a little while now but i suck at learning the shortcuts and tend to do things the slow and stupid way, and a lot of videos dive into what the program can do without explaining the shortcuts and efficiency stuff, so great video as well as great art.

  • @markscott6927
    @markscott6927 18 дней назад

    I started out making games in 1988 using Advanced OCP Art Studio on the Atari ST. It allowed sprite creation and animation of those sprites, as well as painting backgrounds and exported to all the trendy file formats of the day. Notably it had all of the tools that Aseprite has, with the shift to be square option, and the line drag tool. It's always seemed weird to me that PhotoShop doesn't have a decent line drag tool (no, no the vector line doesn't count and neither does shift-click). I'm a little surprised to find myself working on pixel art again, albeit it with massively higher resolution and color palettes. One thing missing - the free fuzziness and magic extra (random) colors you get on a cheap CRT.

    You gloss over it but it is important for people to know the immense power of the Keyboard shortcuts in this program. Not only cause you change the keyboard shortcuts for all the tools, but for anything on the command lines as well. Resizing the canvas, sprite, adding frames etc. All have hotkeys that you can change. Then you can save your hotkeys layout as a backup or to send to another machine.

  • @AmodeusR
    @AmodeusR 2 года назад +4

    Compiling it by yourself if more of a annoying/complicated task than hard. It may be a little bit confusing and harder to people that doesn't have anything with programming, but just following a tutorial, specially if it's a video tutorial, I think anyone can get it working.
    As you said, it's great for testing it if anyone wants and actually, you can get the most up to date version compiling, it just won't update by itself, so if you want the newest version always, you'll need to be recompiling the base code whenever a update is launched.
