Hello! I've been wanting to make weapon sprites for DOOM style game but I am not in any way an artist nor do I know how weapon sprites work. I tried finding tutorials all over YouTube but couldn't find anything about it. How do people make these sprites? I figured that the doom sprites are just pictures of the developers hands but I notice that maybe there's a bit of drawing or painting involved too? I'm kind of bummed out because again I don't have any artistic ability but really want to make sprites.
EDIT: So I give up on trying to make my own sprites. Is there anyone I could possibly get to make some sprites for me?

The originals were made from photos, with spritework done over them. Today the two most common methods are either old-school spriting or using 3d model rips / screenshots from other games. If you want to learn how to sprite, the fastest way is to grab a few sprite sheets from a site like The Spriter's Resource and try doing recolors and splices to make new sprites out of these. Look for tutorials on those subjects - they apply to any kind of sprite. Spriting is technical and doesn't require the same artistic skills as something like painting, but it helps if you have artistic inclinations. After you get a feel for how to work with pixels you can then branch out to making sprites from scratch once you get good at those two methods. Another method is to get screenshots of existing 3d gun models from a model viewer, or screenshots from a game, then pixelate them and color them in, or use filters to make them look pixelated. You can then use other spriting techniques to edit them further and make new weapons from those.
