wow this is cool. You make it look so simple, and yet, I don't really know what I'm talking about because I've never tried this.

You are a very impressive artist.

This is AMAZING. And you know the best part? It can almost work with everything! You just have to think about what you want it to look like in the end and can follow these instructions except with the other object.

this is some awsome paint graphics kitti. you should be a real designer or something. imo, in this rate, you should be the one drawing all our aeon stuff.

I personally suggest GIMP or Paintshop instead of Paint. The colour selector in Paint is too limited. And don't choose any of the preset colours other than black or white. Just don't. Ever.
But this guide is very good. Especially step 4 and 6. When I first read a small guide about spriting, the first thing they said was to pick a lightsource. It easily makes the sprite look more realistic. And details are important. You nearly always need to add smears or dots to make a sprite look good. Avoid large, plain areas.

True, true, but double-clicking a color or picking the option in "Edit Colors" allows you to make your own color (well, almost). Paint is also much, much more simpler. I make all of my computer drawings/sprites/etc. on Paint, and there isn't much of a problem with them, is there?

I don't think it is possible to select a colour from the picture with the eyedrop tool and edit that with Paint, which is something I often use in GIMP.

Actually, you can. Pick a colour with the eyedropper, then go to the menu and select Colours, then Edit Colours. It's very handy and I  use it a lot.

You learn something new every day.
