Thank you Cyangmou. That's good information, and I appreciate the guidance! I work on a giant boat which will be out for the entire weekend. I'll have a lot of down time in the evenings. Do you or anyone have any suggestions for a static piece so that when I return I'll have some things to upload and get critiqued on?

General Discussion / New to pixel art. Where to start?

Hi guys, I'm very new and interested in pixel art. I'd love to be a 2d animator, but I'd like to get the basics down first.

I have Gimp/GraphicsGale those will probably be the programs I stick with, but I'm open to suggestions. I really lack the knowledge of what the dimensions of the file size need to be. What makes things look 8bit vs 16bit? What is 24bit?

There are some animations where you can see the pixels, and others that look completely clean and shaded (that are pixel based images)

How would I make these "higher resolution" figures? I can draw, I just don't understand when I open a new project what the dimensions need to be. Any first step advice would be greatly appreciated.
