The following a list of art tutorials compiled by the creators of wesnoth content, as well as links to other tutorials on the web.
Terrain Graphics
- Tiles Tutorial - Frame's tutorial describing the process of making terrain tiles in wesnoth, and how they interact with adjacent tiles.
- How To Make Seamless Tiles - Eleazar's tutorial on making your terrain tiles seamless. The tutorial is aimed at Photoshop users, but the technique is similar with The GIMP.
- Castle Tutorial - A description of how Wesnoth's castle tiles work (needs updating, but useful nonetheless)
Sprite Art
The following are different tutorials about sprite work compiled by various wesnoth sprite artists. These will give you the most specific-to-wesnoth information about making sprites, and are well worth a read.
- Give Your Hero A Personality - tricks for editing existing images, including some clip art.
- Basic Animation Tutorial - or "How to Animate Sprites for Dummies," covering the basic theory, and all of the mistakes to avoid.
- Team Color Shifting - how to use our new team color system (only for wesnoth 1.1 or greater).
- Creating Shadows Under Units - how we create the shadows for the units in-game
External Tutorials
The following page contains dozens of links to tutorials covering all manner of artwork, including sprite art. These were not made by wesnoth artists, but should prove very useful for general instruction.
