Help! How do I make my own Pixel Art? What program to use?

[maarten]

While it seems like something to avoid like the plague, MS Paint is actually a very versatile tool. Just zoom down, start blotting pixels with the pencil/paintbrush and AWAY YOU GO!

However... New Versions of MS Paint aren't as good at Pixel art

Luckily... There is a downloadable Windows XP Version

Happy Spriting

Yep. I use also MS Paint.   But as you would learn different style sprites as example. Megaman 1 6 to Megaman 7. You might to good seen how the graphics looks. And then you can make your own custom game style again. Please do not edits.  You must learn it from scratch.    scratch means for self maded sprite.  Edits is only used for as your Megaman protagonist has take her soul or biometal I mean how do it.  But here is an advice to how to make your own known game style.
