Whats a good program for makeing sprites.

Im new to stecyl, And if anyone can tell me where I can make my own sprites that would help thanks.

Personally, my favorite is GraphicsGale. It's basically ms paint on steroids. It'll help with animations too.

I myself use Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator.  Try giving Pyxel Edit a try,  its free and fairly decent.
