HugeSpongeBobFan's Toad used the drawn images themselves. YUCK.

But normally what I did with my sprites is that I drew them first on paper. I tried to make small characters so that they're easier to draw and not so excesively massive. I make sure I make the outlines as dark as possible so they show up better on the scanner. After scanning the drawings, I shrink the images to a desirable size and then I save the image in Monochrome Bit-map. The darker the outlines, the more show up in the image after doing so. I then repair all the pixels the best I can, and then I take the traced images and put them in a new paint to add color. And... That's it. I find it easier to draw on paper than on Paint, so it's easier for me to do it this way even if it seems unpractical.
