GIMP is a well-known high resolution image editor, but that doesn't make it any less popular for low resolution work. While GIMP's best-known quality is that it's "free Photoshop," it has other strengths that cut down on work time. One of the features is that it is configurable through several programming languages. There are quite a few community-created plug-ins, which means that you can, with some effort, customize the set of features for GIMP yourself.
If, for whatever reason, you find yourself switching from working with pixels to working with high-resolution graphics, GIMP is a good way to avoid being overwhelmed by a huge number of other programs.
Hey! Recently, I got the idea to make my own pixel art editor to draw characters for my games (I'm actually an indie developer). I needed a mobile editor so I could draw while traveling or on vacation. Alas, it was not possible to find the right software that would completely suit me.
But now my editor is available on Google Play for everyone) Pixel Studio is a tool for artists and game developers that allows you to create pixel characters, objects and environments literally on your knees. Can you draw a lot or a little in one trip on the subway? Try it! Pixel Studio has layers so that the project can be structured and subsequently easily edited. There is also animation, and you can open any GIFs and save them. There is a set of basic functions like copy, reflection and rotation. I paid special attention to palettes, because the right palette is the key to success in pixel art. Palettes can be edited, saved, and you can also use the excellent built-in palettes. And of course, there is the "Share" function, with which you can show your art to friends and subscribers!
