Ok, i didnt know where to post this one but, just how the hell do you guys draw so good, the best drawings I can do are brick walls, uurg, I have tried and tried to learn off of your games and almost nothing has happened. All i have learnt is how to make bricks look effectively real by adding white to them and shading lower. Anyone got any tips?

Use blending of colors. Like for a black man, use dark brown for outline, then keep the colors getting lighter as you get into the core of the drawing. It shows lighting and detail. As for shapes, don't take up the whole 32x32, leave space for hair, maybe around 6 pixels form the top left for multiple styles.

There is an import feature in Dream Maker. Use it. -- More specifically, when you are at the screen that shows the contents of the dmi file (has all of the icons with the names under them) simply right click in an empty space and select import. Then find your image file and accept it.
