Hey, I'll be starting to post my new art here. I'm a pixel artist, which means I draw with a 1x1 brush, one pixel at a time. Sorta like lo-fi graphics. Retroooo :3

Hey thanks! Honestly, I picked it up on myself without any tutorials at first, but of course I was terrible. After a year and a half of practicing and dabbling in styles, I finally found my own and stuck with it.
I use a program called Gimp. Gimp isn't specifically created for pixel art, but it gets by just as well. Here's a link to the website. http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
It's for Windows and Mac.

As for learning the tools, pixel art consists of using a 1x1 pencil brush, and placing each pixel individually.

And as for tutorials, there's a ton around the internet. I suggest visiting the following sites to learn the basics, and get critique on your work.

They both have a forum which you can sign up to and post stuff, and ask for help.

Hope this helps and answers everyone's questions.

Thanks.

That's been suggested before and I answered this:

I don't really have the best original comic ideas, so if anyone were to maybe lend me some jokes, I think it would be pretty neat to make a short comic series.

Thanks!
