Scratch: Changing Costumes

First I use an original image of the sprite and duplicate it many times according to how many different costumes i plan to create. The original image of the sprite being this simple cartoon warrior.


By clicking the copy button, you will duplicate the given sprite. I copied this sprite so I had four of the same image. To change the different costumes you click the edit button and a small paint-like application will pop up so you can manually edit your sprite costume.


What makes this difficult is the process of manually editing the costumes. Before creating more costumes however you should take care to edit the original so that the background is transparent, making it easier for you to customize your other costumes.


I finished by making four different costumes where the warrior is taunting, speaking with heroics, withdrawing his sword and drawing out his sword. The different stances that the warrior took were manually done, using the paintbrush, the paint picker tool, the filler tool and the eraser.
