I have more than 280 hours on aseprite and I didn't knew about the shading tool I watched you using on another video and I knew I had to see if you had a video on how to use aseprite propperly and you posted it today!, such a coincidence, I'll try to use a lot more of the tool aseprite has to offer, thanks a lot!
Always appreciate this types of content creator that gives their free time for free learning course for beginners. If it wasn't for them I would've no clue where to search for. Thanks bro. Love your contents.
don't get me wrong the video is very helpful and homie seems like a chill cool dude but pretty weird to frame making a tutorial to put on youtube and make a bunch of money off of it as "giving free time"
You've been a great help in helping me get started. I know it can be hard to process it with the amount of comments you get, but you really are making people's lives an easier and smoother time. Thanks!
Man, your tutorials on pixel art are the BEST on youtube by far, (and I have watched a lot of them). The clarity of your explanations put them on a different league! thanks a lot.
It's always fun watching right handed people enjoy tech and devices laid out in convenience. I get to imagine for a moment what it must be like to not have to constantly switch things around/reach across something awkwardly/ put what ever was in my left hand down so I can reach over for the keyboard shortcuts before picking it back up again. Yes I will die mad on this hill, why do you ask? Unrelated complaining aside. Thanks for the tips and videos, tremendously useful stuff across this whole channel.
This is a perfect start to Aseprite. Everything is clearer than before now. Thanks. I mean it. Thank you. We need teachers like you, man. I'm all tears.
Hello! I'll help ya! You only need to change 2 buttons and you'll be alright! The brush can still being on B. Change the eraser to J key. And the Zoom to O key.
@@pixelup-art The distance from B and O is pretty big in comparison to the right-side he was talking about, it's also angled which makes it more annoying. It's definitely doable but for me I'd rather change most of the keybinds to the numpad.
Your videos have inspired me to make my own art for my game. Long way to go but I look forward to practicing drawing and such. Keep doing what you do. Really appreciate it!
I found your videos a few days ago and they are very helpful. I am training pixelart for many years now and i am always struggling with some technics/aspects of pixelart. Your tutorials are the perfect help to improve my work. Love your art style. Keep up the good work!
thank the heavens i watched this, i was about to start exporting each sprite into photoshop and making my own sprite sheet from there. again THANK YOU.
I am so happy to start this pixel art journey with your videos! I'm only 20 minutes in and I feel like you've skyrocketed my skill level in minutes. I'm coming from an art/sculpture/technical drawing background and your process makes sooo much sense to me.
Awesome ! Thank you ! I watched the tileset and paralax video in which you use the shading tool and I was like "I want that power !!!" I'm glad you covered it here + a couple of cool tips. Thank you.
Love all the resources you provide! Already used Aseprite for about 100h, but still there's always something small I learn (love the Ctrl+F shortcut!). Thanks!
I'm weird. I read the title as "How to crash Aseprite in 30 minutes". But regardless, this is the tutorial I need! I've been using aseprite for a while but seeing how efficiently you use it blows my mind! Great tutorial!
I would really love if you could talk about Isometric pixel art either in relation to Aseprite or just your own opinions and knowledge about it. I find that it is a style/perspective that isn’t often used in games or talked about these days and I’m extremely interested in it, thank you I absolutely love your channel, it’s fantastic!
I actually have a video in the works about isometric. It's one of my favourite looks, and there are interesting reasons for using it that I'll be talking about in the video.
after two years of aseprite utilisation, i discover just now the outline tool ... i put outline everywhere in my 'art', i'm a outline lover, and i do this manualy everytime, every frrames hahaha this is crazy ... sometimes i wonder why am i so dumb, thanks for your vids, i discovered you few days ago, very great content.
I'd definately love to see a more indepth tutorial how you created that rotating background. I can't even begin to imagine how'd i'd do it even with your workflow. Supercool!
Thanks for another great tutorial. I really like the way you are doing your tutorials. You are giving so much information presented in a compact but yet not to short way. And you are explaining all those things in a very calm fashion. Thank you! :)
21:30 - 21:40 , Gods, I've been waiting for an option to do that for years, from what I understood Aseprite needed some sort of rehaul in order to support that, if that's really coming in the next update then I'm hyped, finally I'll be able to preview my work on another screen! Really good job on this video by the way, aside from selection modifiers I think you've covered pretty much everything a beginner should know!
Nice crash course! I always wondered how you managed to switch the brush size so quickly! Really hope that gets added to Aseprite as an official feature. Another option is to just hover the size box and use the scroll wheel on your mouse, but it'd still be nice to hold down a key and move your mouse.
15:00 I personally prefer to let the "Auto Select Layer" always off, and then just press cmd+click on a visible zone to switch to its layer...! Anyway, great video as always Adam!
Thank you for this trick! It's much more convenient for me since I dislike the auto-select layer option. On Windows it should be Ctrl+click, hope this helps everyone else.
Great tutorial @AdamCYounis ! One question tho: You mention around 10:30 that you set contextual keyboard shortcuts for "Set Ink Type: Shading" and "Set Ink Type: Simple" commands bound to "D" and "S", but only when using the brush (pencil) tool "B". How are you adding the context condition of these keys being active only when "B" is selected? I get how to set these shortcuts globally, but obv doing it that way overwrites some existing keybinds. Any help is appreciated.
For anyone who is looking for an answer.. Go to Keyboard shortcuts. Use the search bar and type: ink. There you will see, set ink type: (multiple options). And there you can add the key you want by using the add function.
I'm watching this because I don't really know 1000% how to move my character's arms. Maybe I should look at something else, like an Idle Animation tutorial or something but meh, I'll watch this first and then get over there if this doesn't help. So, first things first. New Sprite window is basically the setting for how the entire Aseprite model will be set out as. Canvas, Toolbar, two things that I constantly make good use of. I don't really use the context bar that much, maybe it'll help make the Arm editing easier. Oh nvm, it's basically something that works with the Toolbar, yeah, I use it to size up and down my toolbrush. And of course I use my palette a ton, I constantly have to swap between colors, I like to think that everyone who ever took an art class knows how to swap colors and has swapped colors before. Oh, maybe RGB would be much more helpful for my character than the stock option. Then again, yeah, the palette helping to keep a pre-selected color in your toolkit there is honestly pretty nice. Oh, so that's how Layers work. Maybe it'll be helpful if I want to layer over gLiTcH expressions and if I want to create a subtle effect where one emotion is hiding anoother emotion and I want to reference it or something like that. Meh, I think I can scrap shading altogether and do the job myself, but it is an interesting option to keep in the backpocket.
This is some masterclass level tutorial and its just... Free on TH-cam. Cheers mate. My friends and i are doing a game jam and im trying to learn pixel art as we go. This is goong to help a ton.
Thank you for this video Adam very informative and easy to put into practice. I found your channel yesterday and looking forward to watching more videos and getting stuck into pixel art.
ASEPRITE IS AMAZING Edit: I saw your video on color palettes and now I'm using your Apollo palette for my game which I plan to release on steam. I'm finally happy with my pixel art now
@@xentox5016 Late reply, but you can find the palette if you google "palette apollo"... Then the obvious steps: Options -> Load palette. (And also “Save palette as default” :))
Wow man. Thank you so much for making this. I was surprised to see you using the keyboard over the tablet shortcuts. It makes total sense. I was hoping to see you show everything you did, including how you change brush size... I hope it becomes standard as well.
Do you think it's possible to do a city skyline background tutorial? I see that most tilesets and parallax are in nature like grass and mountains, but there's very rarely urban or sci-fi backgrounds
really helpful, ive been using aseprite every day for 2 years now, lots of hours but i still found somethings useful here, i will try to avoid the pixelperfect feature from now on. This is the best program ive ever used and i keep finding new things, for me it is almost perfect, i have just some really minor things but they told me they will improve them in the near future, like exporting animations in some video format, improving the text tool and adding the resize thing like you have (although when they introduced the pen pressure i didnt find myself resizing too much since i have a lot of sizes with just pen pressure but it would be nice to have)
Nice, simple, effective presentation. I'm going down the rabbithole and as Bill Withers sang ' Before you put your plan into operation, you gotta take it all in and check it all out'. Your videos are a large part of that :)
Hi and thank you. I got aseprite a few days ago, tried around a bit and then decided that learning it from the ground up would be beneficial in the long run. Looked for videos, got curious by your name (turns out Thor from piratesoftware mentioned you) and stuck around for your softspoken but concise explanations. Many thanks and I surely will be back for your other videos
you can also move frames between layers by holding it with right click button, moving it where you want it and than release the click and a small window will appear and you click move :) thats how i do it, its one more click but its easyer for me than going close to the monitor to find the yello border of the frame
Watching this video was informative and stressful; I picked up Aseprite today to see if it'd be better/faster than my old art software. The only issue is I'm left-handed, and none of these shortcuts are in convenient locations for how I draw. I usually use those shortcut buttons he discussed, but my tablet program doesn't notice that Aseprite exists. I recognize that I could change every shortcut to accommodate my situation, but A) that would take a lot of time and troubleshooting, and B) there are fewer keys on the right-hand side (the hand I'd be using for shortcuts) of the keyboard than on the left. Excellent video, though; I'm glad I found it, regardless of my issues.
That's really cool Aseprite introduction video, I can clearly see the potential and going to use it, Thought I'd watch your Pixel Art Class playlist, thanks
Maybe a little help to those who'd like that Java Script as well - if you're using a pen, you can bind keys to the 2 buttons, and the "+" and "-" increase/decrease the brush size as well, so simply bind + and - to the 2 buttons and you can modify your brush without any keyboard input. Im using my pen like this for years now and it works like a charm. Also, you can add combinations like "shift +" or "ctrl +" to modify more settings like opacity etc, this way you have to use only your pen buttons and one keyboard button that's lying in a convenient position for you. Hope i could help you a little :D

2 years late, but I have an a4 wacom which is just a tad too big to really work with the keyboard comfortably and I eventually just gave up on it, sat down and learned how to program the control buttons on the tablet instead. Now I use my thumb to do most of the controls having my left hand next to it and it works really well. Mind you I'm using photoshop and doing mostly digital painting. I'm still learning pixel art using your channel and was looking into picking up Aseprite. Just in case the above helps /shrug Keep up the awesome work!
If you're watching this in or after 2024, the change brush size hotkey got added: hold ctrl+alt and drag your brush
omg thank god I literally just started using it and I was so bummed there wasn't a hotkey. I kept going to the brackets out of habit.
why dont you just hold Ctr + mouse wheel for the desired size
Awesome 🔥🤩
@@Black2Ninja1 thats in case u paint with ur tablet bro, not with ur mouse

Combine that with the tiled mode and you've got pixel art textures/tiles in no time.
HOLY SH*T!!! I just created the most beautiful cloud in 30 seconds that would normally take me 30 minutes. Thank you kind internet stranger

I'm still learning pixel art using your channel and was looking into picking up Aseprite.
Just in case the above helps /shrug
Keep up the awesome work!
Very cool Adam! Any chance you'll do a video on top-down perspective?
really love this video. My daughter is trying to learn. Any plans to update this tutorial?
I’d love one too
