Pick a sprite close to what you need
The gallery holds finished characters, pickups, icons and tiles. Each one opens inside the editor, nothing downloads. Start with the coin if you want shapes, the slime if you want shading.

Read the palette before touching pixels
Open the Palette tab. Most of these sprites use 4–8 colors: one outline, two or three body tones, one highlight. That limit is doing most of the work — learn it before adding colors.
