So where can I find cool fonts?
Right here, like I said before.
But how do I actually get the fonts working and stuff?
Download the font file from dafont. If it isn't a ZIP file, just save it to your C:\WINDOWS\Fonts folder. If it is a ZIP file, open the zip and extract it to the same folder. Then, go to the control panel and open the fonts section. Then close it, and it should be working.

I'm confused! I'm trying to save something and there's all this stuff like BMP and JPEG and TIFF! What should I use?
I suggest you use PNG, it's the highest quality form of image and takes very little space. JPEG takes even less space, but you can't save high-quality JPEGs in Paint.
How do I pixel?
Learn from looking. Zoom in closely on other people's works of pixel art. Look at their technique. Look at how they do it. That's how I learned.
I need help with shading the stuff I wanna pixel. Help?
It's simple. Pick out the basic standard color of what you want to shade. Then, get a darker shade, and make a lot of that color on one side, and a little bit on the other side. Then, get an even darker color, and make more on the side where you put a lot of the second shade.

Look at this tutorial for more information. The script link does not work any longer but can be found

Still recommended that you use the script however.
