I just started dabbling in a 2D game creator called Construct 2. This is my first time experimenting on game creation and while most of the features are covered in tutorials, the main problem I'm having is creating sprites. I know I can find and download many sprites from existing games but I'm hoping to create something original, not steal someone else's work. Right now the only option I'm aware of (other than downloading a sprite and editing it to look different) is to draw one with Paint.net, one pixel at a time, which takes all day to complete just one frame of animation. Other frames may only require a little editing of the first frame but it's still time consuming. I'm aiming for 16 bit sprites or somewhere close to it, no tiny characters.
I'm not sure if anyone here has created animated sprites before but if there is someone here more experienced, I would like to know if there is any software or method that makes drawing sprites easier. Besides using stick figures, of course.
