I need some assistance lol, first off, if it's not too much to ask I would appreciate a template that shows what each frame is for, so I know what action I'm editing. Also, how exactly do you keep the background out of the body? Like, what limits the upload area around the specific frame? I don't want to have my background visible on my bodies lmao. I've never really done much editing other than the body I currently have, in which I recolored and added a few graphics and whatnot, so any advice and tips on doing this would be fantastic. Sorry if I didn't add enough detail to my questions, I'm generally new to making these graphics.  

Use paint.net for the background. This one shows it for heads, but its still the same

 

Here's the different parts of the body and what they're for. If you want to have the dimensions of the body showing there's a simple way to do that. I prefer Photoshop, but if you have Gimp it will work to I believe. Have one layer of the body template and create a new layer above it so you can draw over it and have the body template showing the dimensions. Don't want the template showing sometimes? Not a problem. Just click the eyeball on the layer to make it dissapear and click it again to make it come back. I've made plenty of bodies that turned out good in my opinion using this method. It takes practice and time, but you will learn it.

Era and Classic use the same uploading style I believe. The only thing you won't be using is the sword template for Classic.  

Yes, but im talking about the body template you put, era doesn't have pulling or lifting. and I don't think the swing template is there for era either, though I may be wrong.

Those parts will most likely be discarded then. This is the right template for it.
