Well, do you have a site or app that you can use to make stuff? I personally use https://www.freephototool.com/, but if you have something else that works you can use that too.

First of all, try to have an idea in mind when you are making something, then branch off from there. However, also try to be flexible, as you might not be able to find sprites the are the right size/shape to make exactly what you wanted at first.

You also might want to try and fully reassemble sprites to make more complicated creations such as zombies, but that takes lots of time and so I'd recommend just making a base zombie and adding on to it without changing the core design (like I did for the Camper Zombie and Pinecone Thrower).

For Plants, it's a good idea to browse through the PvZH Plants list and looking at some of those because Heroes has by far the most varying roster of unique Plants and is great if you need a random part that you can't find elsewhere.

However, using sprites is mainly about getting used to working with them and figuring out the best things for you, so just try your best and if it doesn't look great at first, keep trying and things'll get better.

(Also pro tip: Before you're finished with something, put a black background behind it to check for any random semi-transparent spots that you may have accidentally copied when you took the sprites apart.)
