what programs do you use for pixel art?

[Zunne]

I still use good ol' MS Paint, the old Windows XP version. It has absolutely no features and that's what I love about it. Left click = colour, right click = background and I almost exclusively use the line tool. If/when I want to fine-tune the colours I open the image in Photoshop.

Ah yes, good old pixel art that look like Little Timmy made it on Windows XP! (Positive)

i mostly just use KDE Kolourpaint (like MS Paint but for GNU/Linux and etc) for it since it's familiar enough and not a nightmare like Photoshop, GIMP, or Krita are. i just prefer how simple it is..

like, i can do some art with it, it's not looking like a doodle usually. but usually Kolourpaint is for shitposts like the modified camerupt sprite that i attached.
it's also great for me when i wanna just do little touchups to some things. like move a couple pixels away or pick a colour's HEX code or something.

if i myself make pixel art from scratch on it, i can make some G/S/C-esque sprites, but not radioactive colours. i did modify a sprite of the player-character from Platinum though, and i think they turned out well even tho i only used KP :P

I just use aseprite, it works and I compiled it for free so yeah :>

Currently I use Aseprite, after seeing it recommended by many Stardew Valley pixel artists. It's very intuitive to use

Before, however, I used Pixelorama, which took me a while to figure out because it had so many functions, but it's decent as well.
