What program do you use? For the most part, if it is anything except MS Paint, it will be pretty straightforward.

AA'ing or Anti-Alisasing is used to make colors blend together. If you have white and black colors next to each other, you want to put gray pixels in order to transition them better. This helps curve edges and make your pixels generally seem smoother.

Taken right off an image on Pixel Joint.

Anyways, you can see how it's done. it's a gradient surrounding the pixels which transitions from contrasting colors or shades. It smooths the edges.

Also here's a link to my old AA tut I did sometime ago. Hopefully it'll help.

Another good way to learn is to look at examples.

Tremulant's a master at AA'ing.

But Legend's guide is good gives some basic understanding.

Tremulant's AA is definitely top notch. beret.gif

Now that I look back at it I don't even think my guide gave the basic idea of what AA is, but it does give a bunch of nice examples.
