Spriting Tips

When spriting you shouldn't go straight to higher bits of sort, start with the basic, 8 Bit.
Use a base, its easier, soon you can then start to make your own base.

Thats my character with my own made sprite sheet.

Start with recolors from other sprites, then start to add minor details, after that make big details such as removing the head and spriting in your own hair.
Soon keep trying and practicing take a look at other peoples work.
A note is to be original, don't steal other peoples idea.

** IMPORTANT: NEVER RESIZE YOUR SPRITES, RESIZE YOUR SPRITES BY MULTIPLES 2 OR 4 OR 8 ETC ETC DO NOT RESIZE YOUR SPRITES ANY BIGGER THAN THAT OR ITLL DISTORT **
