step 1

This tutorial teaches you how to draw a sprite based on a high-resolution, non-sprite render. First, you need to find the image to be traced, I downloaded a Java Duke image. I am not very good at spriting or I am in a rush, I could not make the Duke sprite look better.

step 2

Open your GIMP or Photoshop, and paste the image. This tutorial is for image editors that has layer feature.

step 3

Resize the image to about 64 x 64 to 128 x 128, that's the size of sprites.

step 4

Create a new layer to draw the sprite.

step 5

step 10
