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.
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'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!
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
exactly! I was so happy when I tried to use what I'm used to and bam, it worked. wonderful
@6:24
This magic wand does reminds me of something
You have by far the best tutorial videos out there. I hope you do more! You relay information clearly, concisely, and with humour which makes it re-watchable! I have shared this and watched it many times. Keep up the good work!
Best video on Asesprite fundamentals and efficient use. Will be eagerly waiting for the colour and animation videos!
you killed this tutorial. concise, well thought out. its a beautiful cheat sheet for beginners. thanks man
Man that was amazing, well done. This is the first tutorial that has felt like I am actually learning
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.
Very good and concise, just like the software you're teaching. Thank you!
Wow! A picture a day for 500 days? Now that's a commitment! Would love to see some of your favorites! I really like your art style. Thanks for sharing your journey :)
This is incredible and you are epic! You deserve way more subscribers!! Keep up the good work
i needed a tutorial to find these icons on the right. truly a tutorial for all kinds of dummies.
thank you!
I like the tempo un your video. I was expecting a slog or for it to be way too fast but you explained everything enough without making me feel like I missed something. It also helps a LOT that you demonstrate each thing you show! Subscribing already.
Thank you! Very helpful. Just started using Aseprite and I LOVE IT! Pixel art rules.
So well made, thanks for sharing!
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
Thanks so much. This video is exactly what I need to get back into pixel art on aesprite.
Good information with entertaining commentary, liked and subbed.
Woah that animation looks cool! I'm looking forward to seeing some animation-tutos! :D
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!
Thank you for putting this together. Just hopped on the pixel art train and I’m learning from scratch as a non-artist. Would definitely appreciate some sort of learning plan or pathway to follow.
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.
Thank you, super helpful video - Can't wait to get started
such a good video, was looking for pixel art software to help with my game and this has all the tools to make it efficient and easier to grasp for a non designer mofo like myself, props to you man.
Man, this is extremely helpful, thanks!
I have been using aseprite for a while and I have no idea for some of the tips in the video, this is just perfect for me XD
The magic wand appearing made me lose it, a very real lol. A+
Excellent!!!
Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!
Just started messing around with this, thanks for the guide:) Very helpful!
Holy smokes what a fantastic video. Informative, hilarious, easy going. Kudos sir!
Very good introduction. Best one i've seen yet.
really been enjoying your journey through your devlogs and coincidentally picked up Aseprite a few months back! awesome stuff, keep it up!
Hi stardew fam
A lot of useful information - thanks Watt!
Perfect intro, keep up the good work.
Thanks man! I didn't know where to even start.
This is the best video on Aseprite that I have seen.
I am curious what helped you the most in learning pixel art.
I guess that the hotkey for lasso is Q, is because it looks like the icon for lasso.😂
Straightforward and very useful ty
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you Bro, The Video has been Really helpfull.
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!
Brilliant run down of the app, thank you.
This is amazing . Thank you So much dude
Good video we want more of this video between devlogs please
I’ll try my best!
Nice video. Thanks for the explanations.
very very helpful! watched a few videos i love your channel
I'm new to this, but I thank you very much for sharing your wisdom!
Nice, clear and useful
Love the hotkeys, just speeds up the workflows!
Omg man!
Very clear, to the point and highly informative, i wrote everything down, i feel already like a pro and i can't draw if my life depends on it 😅
This is great thank you :)
I'll be watching the other Tutorial as well.
Pixel art may not be what I like to do, but this seems like a really good software
what a great tutorial!
6:21 SIR?! I was just calmly looky at new programs while sipping my morning coffee no need to kill me like that
Thanks this video was very helpful
Love the tutorial. Instant sub
super helpful ty
Just got aseprite non Long ago and was trying to figure out how to select multiple stuff, this help a lot 😅
Great Vid! thanks
thanks for this amazing video
But seriously. This App was the best investment in my life! Thanks for great tutorials!
this will really help, thank you :)
Nice guide! thx
Thank you very much for the video.
I want some of that Jigglybuff bro!
Hot air balloon of love.
As someone who wasted many hours making sprite art on microsoft paint with a mouse my mind is blown. Also your pixel art style is delightful "cleanup on isle goblin" added to my steam wishlist
wonderful thank you
I've learned much more from half of this video than from few courses.
As someone with years of aseprite experience this video was still helpful. I learned a couple small things. Great video!
cool. I use asperite and learned some things I didn't know about it
great intro thanks
Thanks! It helps a lot
ur a life savior.
I learned a lot from this tutorial. Thanks! I just want to ask fi it is possible if you can make a tutorial about sizing of canvas. I’m confused which size is good for pixel art. Like if i make a house or a whole store. Thanks
Thank you!!
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.
Is it possible to watch the full timelapse of the Avata pixel art? Great vid btw
Thanks dude
Hi there, great video! Question; at 9:28 you use the color modifier to darken part of your character. It looks like you use the Lasso to select the portions you want, and then you modify the values. When I replicate this, it not only modifies the outline color, (which doesn't happen in your clip) but also fills in and then modifies any index 0 background space in the lasso. Any workarounds? Thanks!
6:50 ... I died.
(Great video)
thank you.
thank you
love it. would really like to see how you do your animations i here
fine, fine, i'll get aesprite
Thanks, I couldn't figure out how to save my art without it getting blurry!
the q is used for the lasso because "Q" looks like a little lasso
I've got the Windows version 1.3.2. I don't see the Symmetry Tool. Am I missing it?
Never mind; I found it under View/Symmetry Options.
I'm not much of an artist, but I have always found pixel art as more approachable. I guess cause it's inherently grid-based that works well with my brain? One of my few internet legacies is making a pixel art waterfall for Stardew Valley a few years back and a few other personal edits (including reskinning the pet cat into a turtle for a friend). Used Gimp aka poor man's photoshop for that.
I think what I struggled with most was coming up with an original palette, so I stuck to matching any edits to existing vanilla palettes. I think that's definitely worth a video for laymen! ;)
On another note love the art teases for game characters sprinkled throughout! Love the one with the scar at 9:30, including the detail of having the blinded (?) eye reflect the wound as well. They look like such a gentle person, I wonder what happened...
Dang it, what is with these cool videos luring me in and then teaching me things?! You're not supposed to teach old dogs new tricks! Joking aside, loved the video, stumbled upon it and subscribed after seeing it.
I don't think that's what they meant with magic wand 🤣
nice video
Damn, you've only confirmed my suspicions. Freakin lasso tool doesn't let you add points-lines, gaaaahhh. Only adjacent pixels can be added.
Really wish they added this feature makes it so handy to get a perfect crop. Until then I'll be lassoing things and deleting the filthy unwanted edges. Kind of like trimming the crusts off your perfect PB&J.
I'm kidding I don't do that, but some people do and it was a useful analogy.
Cheers! ^_^
do you use pentab? if yes, what do you use? thank you!
How did you get your layers window to the right?
is there a tutorial to make a simple pixel game? like mario or megaman. I feel like I want to apply pixel images directly, but I'm confused about how to install or use any software. mostly use unity but I can not use it
Watt da goat no cap
Make colour choosing video, like hue shifting and value etc.
I think the lasso is Q because a Q looks like a lasso
