So my best friend wanted me to make her a custom trainer sprite of what she supposedly looked like, and I ended up with this. I'm actually somewhat proud of it ♥
@Swader96 I usually just zoom into a base sprite a lot on an image editing program like paint or, if you prefer something more sophisticated, Photoshop, and edit the sprite slowly. I tend to sprite the head first before moving on to pants and the shirt. Then I add the jacket, shoes, gloves, and hats before adding things like hair accessories. It's a somewhat long process and takes a long while to get right! But with patience you might end up with something you can truly be proud of.
