i know this person she did it her self it is not wrong or bad to use peoples colours i do this all the time and if you want correct pokemon colours then you get them from the pokemon or as whta she did here a pokeball .. which i am assuming was a greatball ..seeing as she is new she did not know about the zoom or the file function it took me a while to clue on to that aswell .. dont assume to know what people have done and how they did it .. she will only learn and get better and better in time like i did like you have done and like everyone eles on here has .. keep it up siobhan ..using paint on your computer or laptop will auto save it as a png file .. so try to do some pieces on paint to start off with so you dont have this uploading problem :) always feel free to ask me for tips im always willing to help ..

I used a Espeon I created using perler beads to create the sprite so I would find it a little hard to believe I took if from the game. I counted the beads on the art and then made the pixel art. 

The only thing was that I used a colour scheme from someone elses pokeball but then the rings and background I sat there for literally three hours drawing them by hand so...

- When you're making pixel art, make sure to save the files as .png and not .jpeg, as it distorts the image, and such is no longer pixel art.

- If you're uploading to pixel joint, try to upload it at its smallest resolution, not upscaled, because the site comes with a built in zoom feature.

- I'm also quite certain that a lot of the sprites in this image are not your own, and are from official Pokemon games. Only work that you have made is allowed.
