I have been interested in trying my hand at pixel art. What program do you use, and how do you make them move?

I personally use photoshop (cs4 and cs6 I have at the moment, any after CS will do much the same job though), but really, for pixel art you can use anything with a pencil or "binary" tool, so MS paint will produce the exact same results as something made in photoshop, I just use PS because I do so many things (like editing, manips, paintings etc) and it's easier to have one program that can do everything.

You can either animate by saving a bunch of frames to a folder and using an online site to upload them and string them together or if you have something sophisticated like photoshop, it has an animation panel and you work with frames within that (turning layers on and off, moving them around, settings time per frame, looping etc,).

It's not as simple as just "telling" you or anyone else how to "do" a particular type of art, it's something that requires a lot of time and patience and practice, no matter how cliched that might all sound

That actually helps a lot! Thank you. I have the same versions of photoshop. Can't wait to try.
