Few things to say:
1. White outlines exist, but these are only really used to highlight things in a still image. RUclipsrs do this in thumbnails all the time.
2. Yes, that violin at 4:01 is mine.
3. No cows were harmed in the making of this video (2:45)

Save the cows! XD

2:43 Minecraft uses 16x16 textures

Ty for this, I recently found out I have a talent for pixel art, so I'm watching these to become even better

[@thehammmann]

I’m very late but Aseprite is free *if* you compile it yourself. There’s a great tutorial on RUclips that walks you through the whole process, no programming skills needed. You do need to download some pretty big files, but other than that, it’s great. You *do* have to update it by doing the process over again, but after everything’s downloaded, it really isn’t that hard. And it’s legal too.

[@TheMudbomb]

A great video, I love pixel art and want to push myself to do more than I currently do, I also want to make an amendment that minecraft blocks are 16x16 pixels, not 32.
I would love for you do continue doing tutorials like this, maybe for your process of animating or how *you* use aseprite.

[@RiptideDev]

I'd love to! After making a MC texture pack, I had found that minecraft is in 32x32, the sprites are actually just 16x16 scaled up to 32x32

[@TheMudbomb]

@@RiptideDev huh, thanks for the correction to my incorrect one, keep it up :)

[@Chaotic_Plazma]

Thank you do much!!!

[@cryism7798]

i’m such a noob at pixel art, i’ve been drawing for years and just got into it and it feels like i’m starting at square 1 😅 so thank you sm for this

[@jrdoughty13]

Libresprite is the free variant of asesprite

[@RiptideDev]

You can actually decompile it for free. It takes hardly a minute!

Thanks for the shoutout ;)

[@RiptideDev]

No problem, keep up the great work!

[@user-fj3tv5jx2i]

underrated your channel deserves better

[@piyushparmar7005]

Which software is this?

[@YinYoo2011]

New sub, saying “hello”.

[@RiptideDev]

Yo!

[@cerberus_des]

7:00 Ok So,The Free Products Are Fine But I Suggest To Use
1) LibreSprite ( At Least I Think It’S The Name ) Which Is An Updated Software From When Aseprite Was Free And Open Source
2) Pixel Studio,It’S A Bit Clunky And Doesn’T Feel Good At All But It’S Pretty Darn Powerfull,It Has A LOT More Options Than You Think But It’S On Mobile Only
So I Suggest Emulating It

[@leennerrt]

Paint.net is awesome! :(

[@bamfyu]

Isn't minecraft 16x16?

[@bamfyu]

@@RiptideDev ah, interesting. Good to know.

[@goblingrowl]

one little correction, minecraft has 16x16 resolution

[@RiptideDev]

After making a MC texture pack, I had found that minecraft is in 32x32, the sprites are actually just 16x16 scaled up to 32x32

[@goblingrowl]

@@RiptideDev i mod it regularly. its 16x16, you can go directly into the games source files and find it for yourself.

[@RiptideDev]

@@goblingrowl Really? I remember having to scale my 16x16 pixel art up to 32x32 in order for it to appear correctly. Thanks for the info!

[@hamzahimite9200]

minecraft is 16x16 not 32x32

[@ralexcraft990]

All the information is great, but minecraft is 16x16

[@scoopydevy]

you messed up the thumbnail its beginner not begginer

[@OMGKiiro]

Didn't help. Thanks.
