    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

What do you do when spriting?

How to sprite: RainbowRayquaza style!

1. Make a giant canvas on paint.
2. Find/generate the sprites.
3. Make sure all the black and white aren't the default ones.
4. Make lots of copies of the sprites you need.
5. Randomly paste other cool sprites you don't need but 'may be useful'. These usually just sit around doing nothing, but they're still important.
6. Make the sprite you wanted in the first place. Don't forget to mess about with a few of the extras.
7. Copy the created sprite into a new canvas and save it.
8. Mess about even more. Have pretend battles with some extra sprites, using the spray can for fire and the likes.
9. Save the giant canvas full of rubbish because you 'might need it later'.
10. (optional) Open the main sprite in the animation maker to transparentise it.

My spriting is very organised :D

That's nearly spot-on with what I used to do when I sprited. XD;
