Not all editors support transparency, so make sure you choose an
|

editor which is suitable for the textures you wish to create.
|

|
||||
### Color Palettes
|
||||
|
||||
Using a consistent color palette is an easy way to make your art look a lot
|
||||
better. It's a good idea to use one with a limited number of colors, perhaps 32
|
||||
at most. Premade palettes can be found at
|
||||
[lospec.com](https://lospec.com/palette-list).

### Aseprite / LibreSprite
|
||||
|
||||
[Aseprite](https://www.aseprite.org/) is a proprietary pixel art editor.
|
||||
It contains a lot of useful features by default such as color palettes and
|
||||
animation tools.
|
||||
|
||||
[LibreSprite](https://libresprite.github.io/) is an open-source fork of Aseprite
|
||||
from before it went proprietary.

|
||||
### GIMP
|
||||
|
||||
GIMP is commonly used in the Minetest community. It has quite a high
|
||||
learning curve because many of its features are not immediately
|
||||
obvious.
|
||||
|
||||
When using GIMP, the pencil tool can be selected from the Toolbox:
|
||||
|
||||
<figure>
|
||||
<img src="{{ page.root }}//static/pixel_art_gimp_pencil.png" alt="Pencil in GIMP">
|
||||
</figure>
|
||||
|
||||
It's also advisable to select the Hard edge checkbox for the eraser tool.
|
||||
When using GIMP, make sure to use the Pencil tool with the Pixel brush and a
|
||||
size of 1. It's also advisable to select the "Hard edge" checkbox for the Eraser
|
||||
tool.
