Wow you got it, Now I won't totally dominate aseprite as a keyword here. I hope it's helping anyway.

I'm still trying to get used to Aseprite. My only issue is that I can't make shapes like MS paint does (because bushes are sorta like clouds) and when background becomes transparent when I don't want it to. Other than that it's so far good for me. Kinda may need more time to mess around with it.

Got any tips for a guy that mains MS Paint learning Aseprite?

hmm not sure what you know already and there's a good number of tools; but since you're going to a program with layers let me at least point out these

- It always starts out fully transparent, you have to make a new layer on the bottom with the background color you want.

- There are shape tools for squares and circles, if you hold alt while creating one you can rotate it, or hold space to drag it around helping to place them.

- Select an area and hold Ctrl+b to create a brush for the pencil tool, with "pattern aligned to source" selected you can use this for dithering or repeating a background texture. (saving and loading them feels a bit buggy for me though)

- Pixel perfect option found on the pencil tool handily creates smooth edged lines, saving cleanup work.

- Palette management is kinda strict, learn to separate your desired colors by copying lots of black between them within the window.

- Click the little padlock on layers you're done with so you don't draw on them accidently and lose your sanity searching for lost pixels.

Awesome advices man! Didn't know there's shapes tool/techniques in it. Thank you Octive!
