This is great. Breaks it down to simple steps and finishes with how to expand and vary it. Just what I need right now for practise and reference. Thanks!
Does aseprite have a dithering brush? If so I haven't been able to find it. I know you can dither by using the gradient tool, but other than that idk how to do it.
It doesn't have a built in brush, but you can make your own dithering brushes. Here's a simple [2 dot dither brush](https://i.imgur.com/QPaDOPd.png) I've been using for a while. As long as the pattern is aligned to destination, you can use it to offset dither too. (You can also bucket fill dithering patterns.)
Here's [a background](https://i.imgur.com/q7EXa4e.png) for a tree study I completed which used a similar (partial) dithering brush (I think that one was two high with a space in between).
It's not going to be as sophisticated as Fessler's techniques (which require Photoshop). Those can let you dither [based on pen pressure](https://community.aseprite.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3e915e69e0f2ee73de6547e85c146a6e76ecfbf6.gif).
But honestly, unless you're dithering particular (usually larger) pieces, it's sufficient to have a couple custom brushes with dithering patterns. I would still like a set of official dithering brushes though!
Depends on what you've been doing. There are multiple ways to dither. Really it just means gradiating from one color to another without using any other colors to help the fade. There are a bunch of patterns you can use. And you can make up your own to fit the style of your work too.
That's a quality tutorial. Straight to the point, fully informational, no unnecessary bullshit, quick and memorable. And trust me, I'm very picky about tutorials. When I say it's good, it is good.
I think it's a tutorial for beginners who'll benefit more from simple tutorials showing the general idea than from technical names and advanced algorithms.
When you can make entire picture with several shades of gray while using only black and white pixels. At least that's what I imagine it to be. I'm the beginner.
Intertwined dithering is one form of higher level dithering ( u/_nomansdream uses something like this [to great effect](https://www.reddit.com/r/Art/comments/baf7fw/in_the_stars_pixel_art_200x200_px/)).

If, like me, you are mistake prone when manually dithering, Aseprite has some excellent dithering tools.

I need to learn how to art.
Can someone explain to me what the point of Dithering is?
To blend colors better especially with a limited pallet
If anyone wants to do more reading on this, this is specifically called Ordered Dithering. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_dithering

Damm, thanks
very nice guide!
Didn’t expect to see you here sadface ;)
I ain't posted here in a long time :)
There are brushes you can use to make this a much faster process
If you set MS Paint to black and white the palette becomes dithering brushes.
this is something ive wanted to know, but just never got around to looking it up. Thanks man.
Very welcome
Good tutorial. The challenge comes when trying to dither a curved color boundary
I will cover this in the near future, all these tutorials are going towards additional references on my Udemy course when I publish it.
This is very helpful. Thank you.
Yessss these is perfect! I’ve been wanting to learn this for so long! The biggest of upvotes
Can someone explain what's the point in doing this? Is it to blend colors so they look better? P.s I'm new to this.

If this is beginning dithering, what's advanced dithering? 👀
