Pixel Joint Forum: Noob 16x16 pixel art question

Message

   Alright so I have recently have gotten interested in making my own pixel art. I did these tutorials that were very helpful, and they were on how to make a 16x16 character from a top down perspective. They covered running forward, and standing. 

The problem is I am having a hard time making one that makes it look like the character is running sideways. I am fine with doing the head, and hair it just is hard to do the bottom half.

Here is a link to the tutorials: http://gas13.ru/v3/tutorials/sywtbapa_making_sprite.php

	If you haven't already done so read this tutorial: http://manningkrull.com/pixel-art/walking.php it helped me go from a total animation noob to this and it works great for larger sizes too like this sprite I'm working on 8 frame animation is a bit overkill for 16x16 but the tutorial is good for 2 and 4 frame too
