  • Easy Aseprite tutorial for beginners where you will learn aseprite pixel art tools, tips, and workflow for making pixelart for any project.
    In this video learn how to use Aseprite for pixel art. First, we start with the basic pixelart tools that all aseprite pixel art beginners and game dev artists should know, before advancing onto editing and selection tools, which are vital for creating pixel art easily. We finish off with a workflow showcase of how to do pixel art using my daily methods as a professional artist. This aseprite tutorial for beginners can also be used by experienced pixel artists to brush up on your skills and attempt any of the challenges I set during the video. Hopefully, in this easy tutorial, you can learn some nice pixel art tips.

    36 years coding, but I look at pixel art and my brain goes to mush. This has helped a ton for my personal project I been developing, as I been using place holder circles and squares as pixel art due to having zero confidence. Shall be utilizing your channel a lot with all the good information you have on pixel art. Thanks for the TH-cams!

      @@saultoons Thank you! I also have some questions that I hope you are able to answer if you don't mind :)
      When I got to the part where I had to use the magic wand tool, I had created 2 groups like you did in the video and I flattened both, but when trying to select a color it instead select the whole square with the donut in it. I tried changing tolerance and contiguous but that didn't seem to do anything either. What am I doing wrong here?
      Also, what would you recommend when making pixel art? Keeping as much as possible on one layer or seperating layers with color, lineart etc?
      Cause I tried making lineart on one layer then making a new layer with color but when trying to use the paint bucket tool it just colors in the entire thing, is that because I need to make sure the lineart layer is the top layer? :)

This was such a clear video and made pixel art a whole lot less scary and daunting. Thank you so much :) ❤

You're very good at explaining, you're hilarious at times, you make it very fun and easy to understand. I never understood pixel art and I started out at drawing anime in clip studio paint. I'm not that good and normally I follow a template or something but after watching your videos I feel more confident that I can accomplish my goals!
