ScorpKnight's Sprites

[ScorpKnight]

As you can see i am pretty bad at making a sprite. How do you guys/gals make yours look so smooth and refined? 
i am using PhotoFiltre 7 and a template as a base.

you should spend more time on spriting like spend atleast 30 minutes on a single frame the sprite you posted doesnt looks good because it looks as if you were tring to get rid of it it looks like a 2 or 5 mins work

you could try making copy paste sprites ex:          ps dont use template as base!!!!  All sprited with photofiltre7. copy paste things and edit and recolour them if needed.Its all practice. 

Edit:
Here is an example sprite with gif

i took TheKidd's advice and tried copy and paste. I wanted to know if I am on the right track and what I should do to make this one better.

- Also what are frames?

First of all you shouldnt open another thread for your 2nd sprite 
Second look at the spriting tuts in the sprites forum it will help you a lot
Good to see a new spriter in the forum
use the report function because you are kinda backseat moderating now - read the rules about it - Simoneon

hey, welcome to the forums
please keep all your sprites in one thread and edit first post if needed

I recommend you stop making your pictures 95% white space.

Better than before.Frames are the single sprites on the sprite sheet (punching frames,standing frames,etc)
