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.
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!
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
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!
Dang, this is a great tutorial and I was real excited to dig into all your pixel-art focused tutorials and then saw you only had one other...ah well, Thanks for the great rundown!
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
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'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
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!
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 :)
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!
As someone with a complete and utter lack of any artistic experience and background, thank you. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. The brevity with which you've relayed information makes repeating sections of the video that much easier, subsequently making it easier to follow your instructions. Keep up the good work my guy!
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!
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.
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.
Trying to do pixel art with PS for years and seeing a perfect pixel and outline option and being sold immediately. 😭 Having other PS standards just makes it a no-brainer. Thanks for the video!
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.
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.
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
i've already got about 30-ish hours into aseprite, and DAMN how did i miss out on saving palletes, the colour editor, and you can just CHANGE THE COLOUR OF A SINGLE PIXEL TO CHANGE FOR ALL OF THEM?? i'd say my 30 hours would be about 15 if i knew all of this. so massive thanks for all the tips, this'll definitely help me out
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.
Thanks for your video! I made some pixel art on procreate a while back and would love to go back to it but with a more dedicated software that allows resizing. A lot of great infos here :)
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.
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.
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.
I watched this, then came back to Aseprite without playing about with it for a few weeks. I had forgotten a lot of the tricks here, because of lack of practice, but I still remembered how to activate the paint bucket because of 'G' for 'Goopy mess'!
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.

a capital Q looks like a lasso. in my mythology this is why Q is the hotkey for lasso.
mind blown
You have a good mythology 👍

This was one of the best instruction videos I’ve seen. Informative, concise, and funny. Thank you
Dang, this is a great tutorial and I was real excited to dig into all your pixel-art focused tutorials and then saw you only had one other...ah well, Thanks for the great rundown!
i needed a tutorial to find these icons on the right. truly a tutorial for all kinds of dummies.
thank you!
really been enjoying your journey through your devlogs and coincidentally picked up Aseprite a few months back! awesome stuff, keep it up!

Best video on Asesprite fundamentals and efficient use. Will be eagerly waiting for the colour and animation videos!

Thank you for the quick intro to a lot of the useful tools. It's exactly what I was looking for

Woah that animation looks cool! I'm looking forward to seeing some animation-tutos! :D

Very good and concise, just like the software you're teaching. Thank you!
I know this is a somewhat old video but bro, THANK YOU, I'll watch this on repeat for the next year.
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
I've learned much more from half of this video than from few courses.
6:21 SIR?! I was just calmly looky at new programs while sipping my morning coffee no need to kill me like that
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.
Good video we want more of this video between devlogs please
I’ll try my best!
But seriously. This App was the best investment in my life! Thanks for great tutorials!
Thank you! Very helpful. Just started using Aseprite and I LOVE IT! Pixel art rules.
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.
Compiled it myself, surprisingly easy (when following a video).
The magic wand appearing made me lose it, a very real lol. A+
really appreciate this! just bought the program and was a little overwhelmed coming from photoshop.
Concise, efficient, I love your videosConcise, efficient, I love your videos
Holy smokes what a fantastic video. Informative, hilarious, easy going. Kudos sir!
This is the best video on Aseprite that I have seen.
I am curious what helped you the most in learning pixel art.
Trying to do pixel art with PS for years and seeing a perfect pixel and outline option and being sold immediately. 😭
Having other PS standards just makes it a no-brainer. Thanks for the video!
Man that was amazing, well done. This is the first tutorial that has felt like I am actually learning
bro doesnt need aseprite fundamental, bro need a dark theme 😭
He has 1.2.3, so unless they removed it, it should be there.
@user-zn4sr1ll1cYeah, some people love migraines, lol
Read comment before watching. Blinded by first frame lol
Nah, it looks fine
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.
Same here m8
Pixel art may not be what I like to do, but this seems like a really good software
Love the hotkeys, just speeds up the workflows!
Amazing video, even two years later
Excellent!!!
Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!
This is incredible and you are epic! You deserve way more subscribers!! Keep up the good work

This is so useful, I have to stop every 10 seconds to take notes

Very useful. Thanks for the information mate!
Man, this is extremely helpful, thanks!
Brilliant run down of the app, thank you.
A lot of useful information - thanks Watt!
I guess that the hotkey for lasso is Q, is because it looks like the icon for lasso.😂
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.
Nice, clear and useful
ur a life savior.
Nice video. Thanks for the explanations.

I would love to see a video about tile maps!!!
That was so educational. Is it still revelant in 2024?
Yes! All the same :)
very very helpful! watched a few videos i love your channel
Great tutorial. Thank you
I watched this, then came back to Aseprite without playing about with it for a few weeks. I had forgotten a lot of the tricks here, because of lack of practice, but I still remembered how to activate the paint bucket because of 'G' for 'Goopy mess'!
Great video thanks needed this
Is it possible to watch the full timelapse of the Avata pixel art? Great vid btw
As someone with years of aseprite experience this video was still helpful. I learned a couple small things. Great video!
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.
Great video! Thank you!
