Very informative and makes for great quick reference material. There were parts that I found the instructor went over material too quickly (not the sped up parts lol), but aside from that it's a great first step into the tools of Aseprite.

By Ramón Wilhelm on 7/23/2024

This course is appropriate for beginners of Aseprite. It's not basically about how to make pixelart, it's more about to understand the technic features and the tools of Aseprite. As someone who wasn't a bloody beginner to Aseprite, I was really surprised what kind of features I had missed. It was partly hard to follow the instructor due to his accent, but the subtitles were really supportive. This course wasn't too long and it's just the right course, if you want to know how to use the features in Aseprite. This course also includes a bonus video where the instructor explains where you can learn or practice pixelart.

En general fue un curso decente. Enseña a grandes rasgos el uso de las herramientas en Aseprite (lo cual es el objetivo del curso), aunque me hubiera gustado que profundizara más sobre algunas técnicas sobre pixel-arts.

By Irwin Rodríguez on 11/23/2019

Me ha gustado el curso, es un buen inicio para los que comienzan a trabajar con ASPRITE como yo. También es buena idea seguir con el otro curso del mismo autor para aprender el Pixel Art ya que este curso en particular se centra solamente en enseñar la herramienta ASPRITE.

Une Très bonne présentation du logiciel et des fonctions principales. Le formateur est impliqué dans sa présentation mais va parfois un peu vite. Un cours que je recommande. Depuis je ne peux plus me passer de Aseprite qui est un excellent logiciel. Cette formation m'a vraiment donné envie de me plonger dans le Pixel Art avec ce logiciel. un grand merci au formateur.

This Class was amazing, I really highly recommend this course for any beginner to get. The instructor was great and his lectures were very informal. If you are looking to understand asepirte then look no further get this course.

Initial comments: I've used Aseprite periodically and have utilized YouTube tutorials. However, in this first 15 minute lesson, I've already learned MORE! Looking forward to the rest! Final comments: I've just completed the course. The tutorials were brief and to the point. You will quickly learn the many tools that Aseprite has available and will also learn basic animation. I would definitely recommend it to beginners. I will be purchasing his other course because I really liked that he was to the point and didn't waste time blabbing!

By Eli Guzman on 12/8/2018
