What I did:
Today, I made sprites but this time, I created the sides of the sprites rather than creating the fronts again. I mainly did this because the book has scenes of people walking or shooting so the side view will make more sense to use. So, today, I created the same thing as yesterday but just from the sides. This is a template so I decided to make it look like an average person. The steps are right here:
1. First, I created the body and the legs. I made sure the right leg was a little behind the left leg to give it a side view look.
Time: 35 Minutes

1. First, I created the body and the legs. I made sure the right leg was a little behind the left leg to give it a side view look.
2. Then I made the shoes.
3. Then, I created the arms. The arms in the back were harder to make because only a part of them would have to appear so I had to manipulate the layers so the body would be in front of the arms.
4. Finally, I created the head which also had to be a little behind the body and since it didn't look good when I did it, I enhanced the canvas size to a bigger one so it would like good.
What I learned:
Today, I learned how to create sprites sideways. First, you need to make it look like the sprite is sideways like putting a leg slightly behind the other as shown in the pictures up top. Also, I learned how to make it look realistic but putting the arm behind the body. You have to move the body layer over the arm and hand layer. I also learned how to make the canvas bigger. You have to go to the image drop menu and go down to canvas size and you can make it bigger. I changed my canvas size to 20 width and 17 height.
What I plan to learn tomorrow:
Tomorrow, I plan to refine these templates that I've created. I know there are a lot of tools that I can use to make these templates better such as the warp tool so that's what I plan to do tomorrow. These templates will eventually be used to create specific characters in the book and that's why I'm making the templates. I want to use templates for the characters and then edit them accordingly to which character is being made at that time.
