This guy is amazing. At first you think he is a complete serious character, and you take him as a professor in the arts of pixel art. A couple of minutes later he's mimicking a jumping frog, then you know what you got yourself into. Absolute madlad, love this videos - subscribed.
Dear PMantis lord, thank you for your in depth analysis and appreciation of the wizardry that I share with you. As you have now joined the subscriber ranks each video I will shock and awe with the lengths Im willing to go to to mimic a frog as accurately as possible. Thanks for sticking around :)
I just found him and bro, you mean you didn't see his YT Avatar lmao XD
@@saultoons
I just found this guy and subed instantly im using what ive learned from him in my game
@@yelloflannel2549 Thanks Yello!
I had to make a simple walking cycle for school. (Gamedev student, we are making a simple platformer). At firsr i didnt think much of it but now im completely hooked to pixel art and animation. These videos are great to learn more about it!
Awesome I hope your next platformer game goes well! Make sure you join the discord and share your work if you’d like :D
Were you at an actual school or did you do it online and if it's online what was it called? Did you learn a lot from it?
This dude and his videos are Underrated. epicly. As a gamedeveloper myself, our art skills are prrtyy trash. This tutorial definitly helped improve it +99.
Glad it could help, thanks for the kind words :D
@@saultoons mama mia lezatos
he look like johnny sins
@@julianmy7abibi804 EXACTLY LMAO 🤣
i wanted to dwaw da dwarf so i clicked this
So glad you took the time to make these videos, they really are the best pixel art tutorials I've found! I've been sifting through a lot having just started getting into it with Aesprite a few weeks ago and I feel like nobody else so concisely details what each tutorial is on, how they go about it, EXACTLY how they go about it, and capture all the processes from start to finish! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the kind words Silly Con Valet :D I'm glad you think the videos are useful, more coming soon ish :'D
i cant pay that program but i dont think anyone need it with such a good explanation/tutorial, thx for your effort and time.
No problem! Yes you should be able to apply the same process to any animation software :) thanks for watching
@@saultoons is it possible on android if it's possible what app do you recommend?
I don’t have an android so I’m not sure, though others recommend Pixel Studio so maybe give that a shot :)
@@saultoons thanks
You can compile it yourself for free. It's legal too
love that you can see your chair is worn down. This guy knows his priorities and it's making good ass art
hahahaha my bald head is like sandpaper it destroys that material :'D
I really appreciate your videos! You are well spoken and easy to understand, perfect for us beginners! :D
I really want to thank you sosososo much because now i really understand how to animate simple things like this!! You word it so casualy yet professional and not make it sound super confusing!!
Thanks for the love Jam, I'm glad I could help! Best of luck with your learning journey :D
Wow, the video structure is really great : quick & clear demo with an already made animation, then the full process with a known character from a previous video.
Really nice job. I just watched the frog creation from UA-cam recommandations then this video, I'll keep watching for more information ! (Already noticed the walking animation 😏😏😏)
Glad you liked it Reituag, always trying to find the best way to share necessary information without bogging people down or becoming boring 🤣 thanks for watching
you just literally explained the animations so well!! i just found my new animation teacher/channel!!! Thank you!!
Glad it could help Abner!
Gotta love the videos, also the motions you do gives a whole other feeling to the videos. subed :D

Great video! Found this incredibly useful watching you animate your wee frog! Away to work on animating my first character to use for a project
Glad it could help! Good luck with your project.
I am currently interested in pixel art and your tutorial videos are my favorite from the whole UA-cam!
I'm glad you like them Lucy, good luck with your pixel art :D

I had loads of trouble finding a place to sprite animate and now I have, this has helped me a lot with animation and the deep voice ch ange is really funny, especially when you cough😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad it could help and you found it entertaining! :D thanks for watching
wow I was doing research for begin animation and your channel is very decent, the montage and the content are super good. I subscribed
Hey, thanks for the sub! I am working on another animation tutorial (should be out in a month or so) which will go more into depth in animation principles :)
Excellent ! Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial
No problem, glad it could help :D
I just watched the first 3 minutes before leaving for work, and already, thank you!
Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks Brique :D
i just discovered your channel and its just amazing ! im an indie dev and i need 2d assets, so i wanted to create my own and it really helps me !
Great tutorial! My boyfriend just got me Aseprite for my birthday. I'm so excited to use it! I used GIMP when I first tried out pixel animation art. But then a year went by and I forgot how to use it. Figured if I've got to re-learn anyway, I should try a new program 😊I love your hopping pixel frog btw, so cute! Your animation instincts are spot on.
Nice!!! Saw your comment on the donut video too so I hope your learning adventure is going well 😁 always fun to learn something new! And thank you! Acting like a frog irl helps to understand how to animate it, at least I tell myself that 😂
me encantó el vídeo ^^
Es decir,a veces es difícil encontrar personas que expliquen tan bien,lo digo porque yo en lo personal no se mucho inglés,pero el recurso gráfico hizo entender muy bien el mensaje.
Muchas gracias por el vídeo,y muchas gracias si llegaste a leer mi comentario :D.
Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras, ¡te agradezco que hayas visto el video aunque no está en tu idioma nativo! Espero que pueda ayudar
amazing, so gooooooood tutorial for pixel animation!
Definitely subscribed love what your doing !
Thanks a lot! :D
Definantly subscribing, as i do pixel animation in my spare time, this is a welcomed channel to my sub box. Very entertaining and easy to follow, which i could have used a few months back when i was doing my game design exams hahaha
Quick get out the time machine :D haha glad you find the videos useful!!!
@@saultoons Oh that would just be amazing if i could xD
This was helpful.. thanks Liam, you're the OG!
Happy to help Angad! Thanks for the kind words :)
I love you man! keep up the good work❤
Thanks for the love ❤️
I love that u reply to ur comments it shows ur one for the community. I’m subbing rn (btw do the points in the video apply to Krita or pixilart or other programs like that)
Thanks for subbing! :D Yeah the points in the video are applicable to most software where you can animate, even if its not pixel art but 2d or 3d. It's a common work-flow for animation I think :)
I'm looking to make a top down 2d action rpg with combo based combat. That smear frame is exactly what I had pictured for sword slash animations. Super helpful.
Yeah smears are awesome! Perfect for a sword slash too!
I like your animation, but can you make a tutorial for each of the tools that are used frequently in aseprite? I'm not used to using it yet. Thanks
Sure! :)
WELL...
I'm just gonna go and vibe with the frog
Frog vibes 🐸

When doing squishy things i like keeping the eyes solid and have them move around instead of stretching with the body.
That’s cool, whatever works best for you Lizard Geek 😄 do your thing!!!
Amazing example video!
Thanks :)
You probably make some great NFT art

Typically I cringe when people say that a youtuber does not have enough subs since it seems fine, but this is incredibly high quality content for only 50k subs, this is higher quality then some million sub youtubers. Thank you for helping me and many others!

Hi, I have a question, when doing your scaling and doing ratios for your pixel art assets, how do you do the ratios for characters and scale it to the game objects and screen resolution, how do you ratio all that so it looks good across all the assets.
Hi Frosty Map, when I’m creating assets for a game I first establish what resolution the game is going to be in. For example, 16:9 screen resolution ratio. Which is the most common screen size, especially for console/PC. Then I design the game based on that ratio. So if I want my game to work in 1920*1080 (a very common resolution), I may design a pixel art mock up at 480*270 which is pixel art to 1080p ratio of 4:1, (divide 1920 by 4 and 1080 by 4) so my pixel art would scale by 4 in engine. But the actual ratio depends on your game and character assets too, if you need more room on the screen you may do 3:1 and design in 640x360 so the characters don’t take up as much space. I usually just keep experimenting and find what works best for the game, as long as it’s a scale factor of common resolution that I’m targeting, (typically 16:9 1920x1080) it will scale fine :) I’ll be making a video on my background design process at some point so I’ll try and address this issue in that video if you need further help! If you have any further questions or need any help don’t hesitate to join the discord or find me on social media and I’ll do what I can to help :D
I really like your pixel art tutorials, looking forward to next
Thanks a lot! New video coming today with another tutorial on the way when it’s done too :)

Just a quick question: What is the backround music called you used in the Bonus Round at 4:20 ? Thanks it advance !
Thanks! I think the one you're referring to is Through The Crystal by Jeremy Blake, all available on UA-cam Audio Library :)

Gracias por las amables palabras Pedro, ¡te lo agradezco mucho!
Me alegra que te gusten los videos, ¡habrá más videos divertidos en el futuro y también más tutoriales! :D
@@saultoons On the contrary, thanks to you you always help me and you facilitate me some things that I do not find well in the animations, I am starting on this and for a moment I was stuck at a point where I did not improve or have any progress but thanks to you I was able to leave and now I feel that I have improved a lot
GREETINGS !!!
Thank you 😍
Hope it could help! :D
I'm making a pixelated shooter games for my what's app events for friends and I the first serious project and decided to make it pixelated so this helped me a lot I'm still working on I it's gonna be a banger not gonna be released to public tho
Awesome I’m glad it can help I hope it goes well for you 😄
@@saultoons I'm doing the smears to save time making my characters slowly having references and I think in a week or two I'll be done with the models that I'll be using if I focus well thank you for the tutorial I was getting intimidated with other people's artwork and couldn't rlly get a good tutorial that wouldn't overwhelm me.
I can't wait to start working on animating I do real basic stuff I keep getting better at editing animation is my next step
You got this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep going :D
so cool
Thanks ❤️

I like that im learning and laughing at the same time 🤣😃😁
Glad you like it AndiMations :)
Cool bro ❤
Thanks for watching!
Awesome.
Thanks!
i love how the frog looks like sleepy sam (if you watched adventure time)
hahah yes it does now you mention it! :'D
I didn't even know there were 12 principals of animation
Haha yah I will make a video about em :D
@@saultoons do it NOWWWW
I know already
you sir are very entertaining and instructive, me Like
Thanks Haitam I'm glad you enjoy the videos :D
I love this, this helps so much!
Also, do you mind telling me what the first song playing in the Bonus Round is? I've heard it before on some other videos and I could never find the name
Glad it could help! :D
I think the song you're referring to is Powerup! by Jeremy Blake
It's one of the songs in UA-cam creator audio library so I'm unsurprised it's used in a lot of other videos :D fun song
@@saultoons i actually meant the one after that, whoops!
😂 😂 hillerious, great vid. I just got Aseprit, looking forward to making some fun little animations
Good luck! Make sure you check out the other animation video for more tips too 🙂
@@saultoons aye I am, just watching your 12 principles now. Great stuff man
@@GreenthumbsGarden Awesome!
this is really good video
Thanks, glad you like it! :D
omg thank you so much man this helped me a lot cuz my project was to make a game and they didnt teach or told us how to make the game at all💀
Glad I could help!
Please make similar tutorial for isometric pixel design. It's so hard for me to animate isometric character and maintain the volume proportion right. Changing angle of complex shape character or item really mess my brain.
Me termine todo el video, aunque no entendí casi nada 😔, mi inglés aún es muy básico, aún así gran tutorial, con la explicación visual se dio a entender. Gracias 👌.
Lo siento, no pudiste entender nada del video. Espero que en el futuro pueda traducir mis subtítulos al español para que puedan entender: D Gracias por vernos de todos modos
@@saultoons Y cumpliste, asi que aqui estoy yo, entendiendo los mejores tutoriales de pixelart que hay en internet. Eres genial
This help a lot since Im still new with pixel art animation
My first pixel animation was a bouncy ball lel (try to adapt line animation to the pixel one)
You got this! :D
I would greatly appreciate it if you did a video on the 12 principles of animation.
Already done! You can find the video on my channel :D
Great Video! I've learned a lot from your tutorials. What video editing software would you use to get your animation ready for instagram/other social media?
Whatever you have available really, I use Premiere Pro but I've heard great things about Davinci Resolve and there are lots of other options!
you're amazing
No, you’re amazing!
Let Lambah go, you sicko!
MWUH HA HA HAAA!
