Well, I guess I'm a bit rusty at pixel sprites. My main concern isn't how to get it done, that's easy. My concern is what program to use; what proportions.

So far, I've heard these programs were pretty good:

o GIMP
o MSPaint
o GraphicsGale
o Corel

But that's just what I heard. I want to know what other people of BYOND use and think is the best program to sprite in.

For proportions, simply: Should you start big then decrease size?
Paint, And Photoshop.

I heard Photoshop wasn't all that good when it came to spriting.
lol @ GIMP

Yeah. I don't really like it, but I heard it could be used in the SPRITE field.
MS Paint is the Best.

You're just not good at it.
Paint.NET, MS Paint, or Photoshop.

Yeah I should. <_<'

Any program with a pencil tool works to be honest. It all depends on your ability rather than all the nicknacks that come with the program.
You missed a completely FREE paint utility: PaintDotNet!

Make your 'canvas' 32x32 and start there.
I use this proggy and I have to learn PhotoShop CS5 for school (not liking that prospect at all...) LOL

It's awesome
