Watch as I strive to answer the age-old question (as it relates to creating pixel art anyway) in Photoshop (1:03), Clip Studio Paint (6:28), and Gimp (9:13). 

Topics covered: 
1. How to resize an image. 
2. How to find the layers panel. 
3. Getting the Pencil tool to just create a 1-pixel line without anti-aliasing the heck out of it. 
4. How to do the same thing with the eraser (which you'd think would be the same process but it never is). 

Hope you enjoy and if you have any questions just leave a comment!

I had the day off yesterday so I decided to carve out a little time to do something different. Between the pixel art and 2d character animation I've been doing a lot of cartoony stuff lately so it was time to dive back into the pseudo-3d world of After Effects particles. I whipped up this little GIF to send to friends and family for the New Year, it was a lot of fun. Happy 2019 everyone!
