*please note that while i’m making the art for this example in asesprite you can do the exact same things i do in the sprite editor, i’m doing it in asesprite for convenience’s sake
Step 1. Rough Silhouette
First i draw a rough silhouette of the sprite trying to shape out the rough details
Step 2. Rough Design
After making the silhouette i start roughing out the design and make a few changes to the silhouette
Step 3. Finer Detailing and Shading
After i finish roughing the sprite out i start refining it and shading it
Step 4. Final Touches
A lot of the time i like adding some finishing touches such as an outline to my characters!
*please note that this is drastically oversimplifying my process of making art
