Sprites/Backgrounds creation: wich tools ?

[nelis]

Hi,

I just discovered AGS and I will begin a game very soon (I'm writing the story for the moment). I think I won't have problem with AGS (the tools seems very well done) and his scripting language because I'm a developer, so new programming language are not an issue for me.  

I just have one dark plot: I never created sprites/backgrounds and I don't think I will be very good for it. I think the easiest way for me will be to hand draw (I'm not very good at hand drawing but better than directly drawing from computer) and then scan and colorize my drawings. It would be cool if I can also animate the sprites from the computer (not to have to hand draw each frames).

I would like to know how do you create your sprites and backgrounds, and wich tools do you use to draw/animate them.

Thanks and excuse me for my poor english
