* Participate in development and give feedback * Collaborate with coders who use your sprites for their features * Improve, fix, or revamp existing sprites * Learn to use drawing/graphics software effectively Here are a few other things you as a spriter can do:

Making sprites is just one of the tasks spriters do. In the context of this manual, a spriter is someone who creates and improves the visual experience in SS13. Instead, use this document as you would a manual, referring to sections as needed while working, and move onto new information once you are ready. For that reason, reading it from top to bottom may be an information overload, especially if you are new. **This is a big document.** It's currently 60k characters long, and I plan to continue adding to it until I feel it covers every possible topic a spriter might want to know about. The actual artistic part of spriting is a surprisingly small fraction of the whole process - this manual will focus on the rest, allowing you to master the technical aspects and become a productive contributor. **Instead, this manual aims to to make *you* a good *spriter***.

There are lots of pre-existing resources (which I will link to at the end) on how to make good sprites. **This is not a guide on how to make good sprites**, although I will certainly cover that briefly. Whether you are a total beginner or an expert, you will likely find this manual useful to you in some way. This document will cover everything from the basics (like what program to use and how to open the sprite files) to advanced topics (like color theory and writing graphical code). I'm by no means an expert, but I believe I have a good understanding of what's important to know as a beginner and byond.|!()| |Hello, I'm () and I've been spriting for () on and off for a few years now, mainly contributing to Yogstation's codebase, although you've probably seen a few of my projects in other servers as well.
