This tutorial is good, but...
PAINT IS NOT FOR SPRITING!
You can start working there and finish your sprites in another really good program, like Gimp/Photofiltre.
Paint for n00bs.

Facepalm
Paint is a fine program for spriting.
Ive seen Alectric and Bamboori do pretty awesome stuff with paint actually.

don't forget dubbled!

well, the tut seems fine, but the spriting style taught does not really impress me. you basically said how to recolor+shade with two colors. there are already plenty of tuts for that usable with ANY kind of spriting program (even paint :P )

what i'd really like to see would be a tut on how to draw details of a sprite properly :D

paint.net GIMP is more user-friendly :D


uhm well
No offence but basically that Tut sucked.
It's not pretty Advanced and we have much better Basic tutorials here.
Also the Result is kinda ugly.
Why does everyone think he has to do a Tutorial, for the simplest things?

I know it, but the best painting tool ever is Adobe Photoshop ;)

GIMP ftw! Yay, let's start a flame war or something
No, but seriously, paint really isn't for noobs only. I can't work with it, but if you look at this( or, as mentioned at some sprites made by bamboori or dubbleD):

Image not by me. It was made by Alectric

Well, what's actually good about this tut is that you structured it well and didn't have one of those messy colour schemes. Still, we got quite a lot of tutorials saying take 2/3 colours, draw something, shade it. And the sprite really doesn't impress me.
I wanna have the agree-button under bambeggs post again!! :D
