Hi, I am using first seed material sprites for my game and I noticed there's one black guy (with a blonde mohawk). I have tried recoloring the white sprites using PAINT .NET but I'm having a little trouble getting them to look right, since my spriting skills are abysmal. Also, facesets to go with them are even harder to manage.
Does anyone have any experience with this kind of work who would be willing to share tips?

What exactly are you having trouble with? Post the picture & your attempts!

This is my most successful attempt so far, the old man and the woman I'm okay with but don't the bottom two seem a little washed out? The adjustments I've been able to do with colors don't work so well with browns and I don't know exactly how to paint pixel by pixel except for random trial and error which is really time consuming.

Looks decent to me perhaps a little more grey highlighting in the woman's hair (like the original sprite). Have you tried seeing how they look in game? Sometimes the background transparency color can really throw off your perception of colors.

You don't ~ need~ to make the sprites strictly dark brown. If you made it lighter, but going towards grey, not salmon, it would be nicer.

Joseph, thanks for the advice. I lowered the color saturation and lightened the colors and it looked quite nice.
Bob, thank you for your encouragement.
