Spriting Tutorials - Pokemon and Trainer

I prefer the Windows XP version of MS Paint, but a lot of people like Paint.net.

thnx this really helped me. i've always tried figuring out how to make a sprite without it being a random generator or already been made and having to re-edit it.

These guides are great, I like the fact that they are very basic and easy to understand. I've learned a lot from them. Hope there's more to come. :)

Does that rule apply to stickied threads? Hmm... No idea. In any case I, the topic creator, have now posted, so it should be fine.

Your designs do need work, but this it a good starting point. I recommend playing around with the real Pokemon sprites, to get a feel for how they're shaped and shaded. You should try using the Amalgamon tutorial.

How would I do this: If I had to make an original sprite of something bigger or smaller than the original sprite without making it go pixelated. This is for a ROM hack btw.

Unfortunately, due to the generally low resolution and importance of clarity in pixel art, sprites can be a little hard to resize. For a completely loss-free resizing of something, you generally have to resize it by full increments, i.e. 50% or 200%. The further from a full increment the resize is, the more it will distort. If you want to, say, shrink a Black/White sprite to work in a GBA rom, you will either have to resize it then go through and manually fix anything that looks wrong, or just draw the sprite from scratch at the required resolution.

Your tutorials helped me when I got into spriting, I was, before reading them, just horrid, now I'm almost actually okay. Anyways, I'm just saying thanks for the great tutorials. :laugh:

Did you create an account just to say that? I hope to see posts from you with sprites in the future! :D

I've been reading all your tutorials for a good few months now, I love using them, they've helped me improve so much.
Although I tend to look at other sprites for poses an shading references.

Thank you! Now I can make a trainer avatar for PC!

This is a great tutorial! Very organized and shows many different techniques! I will forsure try spriting now!

Thanks for this! Just made this using your Pixel over tutorial!

Thanks for the tutorial!!

what tools or application u guys use to spriting or editing sprites?

Thanks great tutorial, understood where most others confused, Truly helped. :D

Keep in mind you require 4+ words for your posts here at PC as it is an official rule of the whole forum.

And personally I use Photoshop CS4, but some people use MS Paint or GraphicsGale (but this one is pretty rare here).

A lot of people like paint.net, but I prefer Paint XP (a standalone version of the Windows XP version of Microsoft Paint) and Paint Shop Pro.
