Drawing Sprites

I was wondering if anyone could refer me to any sites that have good tutorials on drawing sprites or pixel art.

hmm by spirits you mean all the direction of the creature/human. Best way is to draw it side ways first.. then i find it easier doing it forward after.. cant really show you how to do it.... hm

Hmmm when drawing sprites try to actually draw them on paper first so that you can use it as a refence when drawing it in paint. And by drawing it on paper you may come up with better ideas.

I mean like rounding edges, shading, etc.

Side is the hardest for me, so I guess I should do it first so I can make the front/back views easier.

Thanks, I'll try that next time I try to draw something.

Actually, I believe that you should do the facing down and up parts first ,that way you can get the major details that you focus on, becaus eyou can see the sides when facing those way's also.
