@Alectric:
This first one was cartoonish coz I was too lazy to go into details.
I was working mostly with a 2px and 3px brushes, and never really went down to 1px brushes except for the eyes, hair and the gold trimmings, which isn't the norm.
I use a tablet to speed things up, and its pressure sensitivity helps me manage "sub-pixels" as well.
I don't use bases anymore, though I do occasionally take references for stuff like eyes, arms.. and the less commonly drawn regions of the body like the back view stuff(which doesn't figure into standing poses, only other frames in a sheet)
@truongdzuy and others who make similar requests:
There is nothing I can teach that anyone cannot learn from simple observation and practice, since that is also what I did to be able to do what I do now.
My only advice:
Step 1. read up a little on Shading, Human Anatomy, Perspective before you start.
Step 2. Make a full character sheet, using template as a base. (Give him some flesh, hair, and clothes. Simple ones.)
Step 3. Repeat step 2, increasing the overall quality of the sprites this time. If you cannot do that, repeat from step 1 again. Do this as often as it takes.
Misc Steps. Exchange pointers, tips and tricks with other spriters who've had experience making sheets.
Misc Steps 2. Check out the tutorials made by the other spriters in the forums.
