Aseprite Tips for Noobs !!
Get the software: Aseprite (the pixel software of all time) Video tutorial:
Aseprite Crash Course in 30 minutes by AdamCYounis If you already have it you can skip ahead to 'the workspace' timestamp in the video.
If you have ever used another art software, Aseprite will be familiar to you but all the keybinds will be messed up. You can go to edit > keyboard shortcuts, search what you're missing and rebind it to whatever you're used to.
Most important keybinds (to me):
Brush: B
Eraser: E
Undo: control + Z
Redo: control + Y
Quick colour picker: hold alt and click
New layer: shift + N
New frame: alt + N
Lasso select: Q
Quick outline: shift + O
Help! I pressed a button by accident and now I don't know how to fix it
These are a couple keybinds that are actually really useful for pros but a pain in the butt if you hit them while you're learning
Put the animation timeline back: tab
Undo snap to grid: shift + S
The window fills my screen and i cant see the pc bar: F11
The tools are gone: ctrl + F (might have to press it 2 times)
I can give some more advanced tips if anyone wants, but I dont want to overwhelm. If youre stuck there is official aseprite documentation where you can search for what you need. Or just ask me. Everything you have could possibly stuck on I have got stuck on it before 20 times.

Take it slow and have fun! It will take a while to get used to everything but the software is amazing! Trust the process!
