What would a beginner use to start making pixel art "in the easiest way possible"? I'm actually asking for a friend, otherwise I wouldn't be as hung up on finding the easiest way to do it.

I'm assuming the recommendations in the OP are out of date, and that there's probably gotta be some specific software that makes the whole process easier than just drawing big pixels in photoshop.

I think his goal is to learn how to make something like from this post.

Awesome, I'm glad there's a consensus so this doesn't get too complicated lol.

My pixel art experience ends at making stamps in Mario paint but, I dunno now that I'm helping my friend out maybe this would be something to get into.

This all started with him deciding he's making a videogame drunk, and me trying to get an AI to make pixel art (it didn't do so well, but I got an idea, just gotta find thousands of well tagged sprites from NES and SNES games) so who knows where it will go, but the thread makes it cooler than I expected it to be.
