Upload the image to thunkable.  
Assign the image to the Sprite.  
And set to image number of the Sprite using blocks.

If you have further questions, you can always reference the Sprites section of the docs [HERE](https://docs.thunkable.com/sprites#adding-sprites-to-your-app). To the best of my knowledge, all of your sprites have to be added to your sprite library for you are able to use them.
