That seems like a decent way to do it!

[Emoluvjd2]

Whoops one of the pics got messed up.

[Emoluvjd2]

Fixed it the second from last and the last.

[mariowings77]

It looks good emo! :) Never thought of doing it that way... =P Would've made making that meta knight sprite a while ago ALOT easier! xD

[Emoluvjd2]

What Meta Knight sprite?

[mariowings77]

Took me a few hours to make, but I like it for starting from scratch! :)

[Emoluvjd2]

From scratch huh? Cool.

[floof5467]

you forgot to tell them to resize it after its all done but thats an excellent idea i never thought of that but that works really well :D

[link64]

Cool. Now I can make sprites easier.

[Emoluvjd2]

I tried resizing but it didn't turn out well.

[NintenDan]

I made something like this a while back... Oh well, nice tutorial.

[Emoluvjd2]

Thanks :D I'm working on another using this technique

[Emoluvjd2]

That's my little Shy Guy... what a cutey. I like that Meganium picture thingy you made for your tutorial though.

[Emoluvjd2]

Thanks. :D I'm actually making a chickorita now. (my favorite pokemon)

[NintenDan]

Well, that shouldn't be too hard. If anything, it should be easier than Meganium, right?

[Emoluvjd2]

Right I just have been busy T_T

[Emoluvjd2]

Maybe you can use this technique to make that 3-D model I posted in you old tutorial.

[NintenDan]

Funnily enough, I use this exact technique already.

[Emoluvjd2]

Oh well aren't I the one who gave you the outline idea?

[NintenDan]

Yeah, you were to. Sorry for forgetting that. Well, at least we've got two nice examples on how to make outlines of art to create sprites!

[NintenDan]
