Description
EDIT 1 (Day of submission): Fixed some spelling errors and added a section over background colors (thanks to ~Involuntary-Twitch )WARNING: LARGE FILE
Total revamp of my spriting tutorial from my old account. Hopefully this'll be the last time I have to make this ._.
Like I said many times in there, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE and study the official sprites. And not just the official Pokemon sprites. Any pixel art you see study it. Maybe you can pick up how someone sprited fire, or did fur... then apply what you know onto your own sprites. That's how I taught myself over these last 6 years.
there's some things I wanted to go into more detail about, but I was afraid of making this thing waaaaaaay too long. It's already long as it is... also ignore any typos D:

Awesome dude! I've been spriting for... 3-4 years now, and as they say, there's always room for improvement. This is definitely gonna help me fix up my most common mistakes!
I knew about the 12-color limit, but I never fully realized why Emboar's fire was so plain compared to Rapidash's

Wow! This is fantastic! Very in-depth and yet understandable. I like how you used examples from official sprites!
I'd add that it's a good idea to sprite against a colored background (as opposed to white) in order to get smoother-looking outlines and more balanced color schemes. Just a suggestion. ;D

Guahhh, I knew I forgot something. When I was writing the rough draft I thought "I should include using different colored backgrounds to pick out bad color combinations" ...but it slipped my mind x.x
But thank you~ If I ever update this again I'll make damn sure I include that ;D

This is really amazing! It pointed out quite a bit of mistakes I've made while spriting.
