How did we start with pixel art and end with Morishita finding the abyss staring back at her?

That twin tail girl is going to have a wild ride.

Is it normal to draw pixel art with a regular mouse? It might just be pixel art, but with a mouse?

Edit: I know they're just in a club so resources are probably limited, but they don't even refer to that fact for why they're using a mouse to draw, so I'm wondering if it just might be a normal thing or if they're just nonchalant about everything.

 

[NullApostle]

Nietzsche would be proud.

 

[AgentKuga]

Oh I draw pixelart with a mouse so often that I’m used to it now.

Also, she is really exited about this.

Man, this girl really knows her stuff. If possible I will vote her to be the president next year again!

I do all my pixel art with mouse. It is, however, usually 16x16 or 32x32 canvasses, or some small multiple of 16 (16x48 platform, for example). Larger wholes tend simply to be constructs of these smaller tiles (a terrain tileset for example). Occasionally something bit larger might be necessary, like perhaps a 64x96 house front, but that too is mouse work. When you zoom in enough to the canvas when drawing, it doesn't really matter what your tool is. The real test comes when you bring the sprite in to the project and see how it fits with the rest.

(My approach is not the best though. If you're drawing pixelart for a 2D game project, you probably should've done some sketches first to figure out a consistent style, and colors. But since I just develop solo, nobody's getting bothered by that.)

Mouse gang reporting in.
I use a tablet and a pen when making "regular" art, but with pixel art I value precision that comes with the mouse. It also helps to have a bunch of extra buttons you can map specific actions to.
