26 Aseprite Tips for Beginners
Фильм және анимация
I recently did a thread over on Twitter where I posted a bunch of small things I've picked up over the years.
Original thread here: / 1435600476666482689
Since people seemed to like it, I've combined them all into a single 8-minute video to put here, hope they help!
I elaborate a lot more on these techniques in the thread I linked above: when I use them, why I prefer them over others, etc. So, if there's some confusion surrounding a few of the clips, I'd recommend checking the original posts out.

That punching bag bird animation is beyond amazing. With the hit flash highlights and all that… loved it.
6:36 you can also just type "/4" after the width or height and it will divide it by 4 for you so you don't have to do any math. tons of great tips in this video though! i didn't know about several of these.
when someone looking for tips for Aesprite, this should be on the top of the list. Not showing me how to change my theme. This is helpful!
Thanks for your video and your advice, I'm getting into pixel art and the tips you are sharing are making my life so much easier

damn I didnt even know onion skins existed, I was going back to the previous frame constantly to know what to do for the next frame which made me take really long on a single frame.

Custom brushhh...DAMN bruh they sold me aseprite with that.!!
Hello, thank you very much for this tutorial! I found new things thanks to your help :) However, I have a doubt, how to make the pencil despite the fact that the canvas is very large, still be made 1 pixel? Every time I enlarge the brush, the lines made are increased, and I only want the drawing to be made by 1 pixel, I hope you understand it and I await your response, thanks!
Opening then hearing Patrick Bartley shred was not expected.... lol

Awesome, I'm glad to hear it 👍 The clip you reference is something I do when I want to create animations with somebody else's pixel art. Most people increase the size when they upload their animations, and so this is how I bring it back down to normal size. hope that makes sense!
dude the art here is awesome. Do you make assets for marketplaces, companies or do you make your own games? It'll take years before I'll be able to make anything that comes even close to this.

Hey thanks man 😎 I have done some game animation work for a few people here and there, and I've done a couple hobby projects myself, but I gave it a rest a couple years back. They were some nice experiences, but man is there a lot involved.
Does anybody know how to switch back to the legacy color picker?, all i can use is the color spectrum and color wheel. I am used to photoshop, so it would be easier to use the single color picker, but I haven't been able to change it
hi. do you know how you can change the size af individual pixels? like the nft projuct weird whales the hats have smaller pixels. any help would be appreciated!

I usually go for around 170px x 120px - somewhere in that ballpark, but it all depends on the style you want to go for. For many people, 50px x 30px is enough space, for me, it's not.
i like your art..

No particular palette! I have a default one set on the side but I don't really use it. I'm mostly just picking colours as I go, so nothing I can share unfortunately :( And thank you, I appreciate the kind words 😎
I decreased duration time of my few frames but When I export the animation, they turn into the normal speed frames, how can I avoid it? thanks.
@nootall
Жыл бұрын
Not sure about this one! I usually try to use the same duration for each frame. If you're trying to make a few frames last longer, then your best bet is to duplicate the frames. If you're trying to make a few frames shorter, you may need to make all the frames quicker, and then duplicate the frames you want to last longer. Although, I did just experiment with exporting an animation with different frame speeds and it worked fine, not sure what's causing your issue
