Aseprite's Shading Brush is Ridiculous

Here's a clip from today's stream where I showed off some painting over light and transparency in Aseprite without breaking details. Enjoy!

Every time I show Ase to anyone I show this feature. It sells the app instantly to them.

i love how asprite to people who dont commonly use it looks like mspaint levels of complexity while it has full on kitra levels of complexity. what makes asprite so good is that it is so easy to get into yet so complex

i left a review on aseprite years ago, one of my two reviews of several hundred products in my library, saying that even after the 6000 hours i had at the time, i still find new tools every so often
over 11000 hours now, and ive never seen this before- im not sure ive ever even bothered to hit that ink icon, lmao

Aseprite is one of the most feature-rich pixel art programs I've used. It's so worth compiling manually every time.

Now if only I was good at pixel art...

My jaw literally dropped when I saw this. Now I've got to see if there are any other tricks in Aseprite to learn. This is amazing! 😮

[ilovehumongoushonkers]

might be useful for bigger pieces but i tend to do sketching in csp and then use it as reference in aseprite

[ArtisanAspirationWorks]

In Krita I use the color selection tool so I can only color said selected color and then I can change the color of the brush and only color the selection with a new color. Great for adding depth

Im learning Aseprite now, so thank you for these 🙏🏼

[stonecoat_art]

your videos and tutorials helped me immensely when i started freelancing a year ago, thank you so much man

[SlothComplex]

What a powerful feature, thank you for this!

[junaidywijaya]

Hmm nice, I'm new with pixel arts but that's gonna speed up a shading and coloring process for environment asset and background, the colos that get affected is only the colors we selected which is very nice so we dont5 have to worry messing up other parts

[Mabaz]

I was wondering how you were doing that as I am knew to aseprite. Thank you for your content it really is amazing

[toyekol]

i dont know how to compile things so i just use libresprite but its also on there if you need a cheaper option!

[neatoqueen]

oh my god dude you just changed my life 😭

[JadenAllen]

I use blockbench, its what basically every minecraft mods made with and it has an image creation tool, its very easy to use the wand select to selct your area you want to color and then just select a darker or lighter shade of the color you want then set the opacity low. Selecting it with the wand or selection tool just prevents accidental transparent pixels outside of the area you want to color

Im using aseprite for about long time now and I have no idea this is a thing. I hope you cover more features that are overlooked.

Another nugget of knowledge to add to my collection

[IGoOofALot]

Once you showed it off my eyes went so wide it genuinely hurts a little

[itsapeas]
