How do I create a sprite?

#1 Post by IceQueen »

I'm new and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make a sprite,
I would prefer to use a free program to do this.

Thanks you!

Are you looking for a program to make your own sprites from scratch, like gimp or paint.net, or are you after something akin to a character generator?

It depend on talent not on program. But I recommened Sai for beginner. Photoshop is more complicate and it's not the best to start with if you just know how to drawing on computer.
You can download the 30-day trial version at http://www.systemax.jp/en/

Instead of getting used to SAI and then having the trial expire on you, you can try free alternatives like FireAlpaca. There's a full list of art programs and the websites you can download them from at the EVN wiki as well.
