Learning to sprite.

Hello community. Ahh, where should I start? Yes! I'll start with my name. My name is Miles and i'm a 14 year old with an intrest in MUGEN! I've been very amazed at the sheer quality of the characters that are hand made by peoples everywhere! But sometimes, as many do, I just get rather impatient and feel 'out of the scoop', so-to-speak. I acknowledge that making characters takes a long while as well as a great deal of patience. I geuss you can call my "impatience" innocent anxiousness. As the topic title suggests I want to learn how to sprite! And soon, one day, make my very own characters. HOWEVER! The very first thing i want to acomplish, in order to hone my skills with spriting is simply make a sprite edit. Yep, just a lone edited sprite! What I wish to make is X-23 using the original MVC version of Marrow as a base. As already stated, I simply want to make a lone sprite, and hopefully be able to start a W.I.P (Long ways off )!

Whatt I ask of anyone reading this is to give me ALLLLLLL the TIPS possible!

Thanks!





TL;DR: I'm learning to sprite edit, mind givin' some tips?

nice to meet you zaik. nice to see your so eager to learn spriting. in due time you will get tons of tips and help from very talented spriters. look forward to seeing some of your stuff in the future.

Thanks, man! I think having a keen intrest is the first step.

How to Make a char

I learning myself xD

Nice to see new blood in mugen. Spriting is pretty simple, but as some guys from here say, practice makes perfect (or at least better) and they're right 100%. Once you learn how to sprite, sprite as much as you can everyday and you will see shortly a huge progress. Search on the internet or IMT for spidermew's spriting tutorial. That's the best tutorial I think. Good luck!
