>>57266677>>57266689I make my sprites by frankensteining a bunch of different existing bw2 sprites together as seen in picrel. For exmaple, Ivy's a combination of the right cheerleaders chest and legs, the female swimmers head, flannery's torso and hair and upper legs, roxannes hand, and the black belts hand. Her accessories are also ripped from Rosa, the backpacker, and Alolan Ivy used the rich girls dress as a base for her sarang. I hodgepodge together the bits and pieces I like, make manual edits where necessary and give it a big ol paint job so it looks nice. I think this method is a nice way to make sprite that dont like a reskin of an existing trainer sprite while staying within the bw2 sprite art style. My art program of choice for this stuff is MS paint. God i love MS paint, you can get so much mileage out of it. I've mentioned it before, but Piskel's also a great spriting art program thats awesome for making animations, spritesheets, and saving sprites on transparent backgrounds.
Hope this helps anyone in the slightest. Next time I make a trainer sprite I can try and record a video/timelapse or something
>>57267261>the style you use branches off in slightly different directions depending on whether you start with the head or the bodyI never really noticed this within myself before. I know drawing basic shapes/skeletons before going into a drawing is proper technique, but I much prefer to just wing it. I'll try and make a conscious effort next time I draw something to see where I start from and where it leads.
>>57267614This color blocking art style is really cool
