I use Paint for pixelart, but the newer version tends to sometimes have the glitch of putting what you try to draw about 9 pixels from the point where your mouse is.
The perks of GIMP is that you can work on seperate layers so your sprites won't get ruined if you want to try something out and it's easy to make everything transperent in the end.

Also, it should be possible to PM me right now.

i use paint.Net and Photoshop, microsoft paint is irritating

I don't mind if you use photoshop. But hands off the Airbrush/brush tool.
Just keep yourself limited to the eraser, pencil, and bucketfill tool.

the brush tools where almost the only reason i used photoshop ;~; mostly to easily merge colors.

Indeed, but it makes it digital art instead of actual pixel art. The reason why most games are pixel-art is due to the lack of space there was so there was a limited amount of colours you could use. Sprites are usually small too so every little pixel can change the way a sprite looks. =)

Well, photoshop should is still nice (I don't have it, but I doubt it's bad) since if you plan you drawing, you can experiment with a lot of nifty tools and adjust a lot of settings for your own fitting. But GIMP is free software and I personally preferred the 2.7 verison (I think it was 2.7.2). I don't quite like the way that all your brush/pencil/eraser/etc get the same size when you change the size of any single of them. Sometimes, I like having a big brush and a small eraser for refining, but because of this, I keep having to readjust the size each time

Although, I've been liking PaintToolSai a lot recently It's more of a drawing tool with the available soft brushes and textures you can add-on separately, granted, but there's the binary pen for pixelling too! Though, like photoshop, it's not free, well unless you get a cracked english copy.
