You can always try to just use dark color lines to represent clothing folds.

[MnM]

yeah chase i get ur point. But the problem will be where the cloth folds. So even if i draw random lines, it destroys it.

actually...and i obviously only speak for my experiences here...
you can improve your knowledge on lf2 anatonomy:

- by drawing over different original poses of LF2 chars (not the template style first---just draw over Woody for example)
- by slightly altering original poses (that cloud is all woody -->http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/180/70411145.png)
- by drawing out moves on paper in the right lf2 anatomy (i will probably later make a tutorial on that one)
- by frankenspriting (that is all bat for example --> http://www9.picfront.org/picture/exGJdOa0/thb/33.png some frankenspriting here and there and of course some altering of poses)
FRANKENSPRITING Tutorial on Sprites (http://scrollboss.illmosis.net/tutorial_...riting.php )
- drawing over existing chars in template-style won't actually help you that much, if you don't understand where for example, the upperarm starts and ends, where the thigh connects with the knee and the lower leg, where and how limb can moves in which angles,etc...

in the end, i think decent scratch work is ONLY possible, if you have enough knowledge about the LF2 anatomy, its movement possibilities, limb angles and a good sense of where to put the shading.

Therefore try to look as much as possible on original sprites, and of course on sprites of other users here, see what they do right, and what wrong, and of course PRACTICE is all the way to go for becoming an better artist (trial-failure-trial-succes!)

One of my best creation i daresay.

[chase123]

Your best indeed,I think the hair could use some work,I see you understand how to implement clothing folds.

[Taniaetc]

Yea, I agree, one of your best sprites.
The hair looks totally awesome, no seriously, it is.
If the belt-thingy uses some cloth folds, why not apply it to the pants and shirt then?

[MnM]

Ya ya, will try it later tania.

Some try XD
Hair edit.
Alec i didn't implement urs becoz of its partial nudity. The Reason is i can't open it when parents are at house. XD will get into trouble then. If u manage to find one without nudity it will be a great help.

Jumping sprite:

[chase123]

The two new sprites are very good,although the second one looks a bit fat and his right hand looks a bit weird,it is safe to say that these are really good sprites and I'm seeing improvements here.
