FAQ
What size should the canvas be?
For avatars, icons, or emoticons, start with 32×32. For more detailed characters or scenes, choose 64×64 or larger.
Can I change the canvas size after creation?
If the software provides a resize canvas feature, you can modify it in the editor; if not, it's recommended to confirm the size beforehand.
What if I don't know how to choose colors?
You can use the default palette first, then create your own palette once you are more familiar.
