Hmm, since i nowadays make my sprites in 4x size, i do it like this:
-First i have a base sprite sheet (as example davis_1)
-Now i have to make new sprites to the same sheet
-I take one part at a time (as example running = 3 sprites)
-Copy those 3 sprites to GIMP
-Resize them to 4x size
-Sprite
-Resize them back to normal size
-Paste them to the base spritesheet
-Repeat until all sprites are ready
Tadaa D:

I sprite over characters for bases and sometimes I open a new paint file and just put pieces together from previous characters or create my own bases. like so:

1. Be member of LFE
2. Pray to LFE GODS
3. Steal sprites from somebody else
4. Say that you've made them by yourself
5. Get banned for cheating

But, srsly, there is no rule for spriting. You just do each frame, copy and edit what you can copy from other frames to make it faster.
