Need help spriting? This thread will help you!

#1

I’ve noticed some people might need help, so I decided to take my time and post some tips on how to make them!
I’ll keep updating this thread daily/weekly with more tips. I’ll try to resume them, but if you need help directly from me, dm me on Discord! (bonk#0438)

Side note: ‘‘the skin’’ means the character, not his actual skin (flesh).
The '‘reuses yellow’ part means reusing it in his belt and shoulder pads.

I’m trying to make them as simple as possible so starters can actually understand them. If you don’t understand them, just ask!

Yep! They’re overshaded! No wonder their sprites were changed.

The oryx/dark mage are not bad, tho!

#14

Side animations are also quite easy!
Here’s a simple (but effective) example:
