Learn how to create a blurred stripe background in Aseprite. Use it to make your digital art scene backgrounds more interesting.

Aseprite is an image editor designed primarily for pixel art drawing and animation.

Step 1

Open Aseprite and create a new sprite. I used 80×45 for the size, but you can use any size you wish.

Step 2

Step 3
