Okay, I'm gonna start a series of tuts on how to sprite. This is the first one. Enjoy it plz! *NEW* Pics included!
Step oneFirst open up Microsoft Paint.
Get your DP sprites of pokemon from
here.
Now from the same site get The 2nd gen or 1st gen sprite ur gonna recolour it with.
Step TwoNow, I will only describe how to do G/S/C sprites.
Get the
main colour of your G/S/C sprite put it everywhere on your new sprite APART FROM YOUR LIGHT BITS. It should look like this (Ditto is a bit different, it has dark shading like newer sprites, only do this if your G/S/C sprite has shading):
Step ThreeYou need to know some things.
1. G/S/C Sprites have 4 or 5 colours. These are: Black White Red and two other colours that depend on the pokemon.
2. Instead of shading, there is a diagonal assortment of white.
3. Their outline Usually consists of Red and Black, or just Black.
With all this in mind, make it look like this:

Here is what you can do with this!

It is a Feralgatr Devamp. Have fun!
