I would love to learn how to design my own textures and texture pack (not edit) but I honestly have no idea what to do. I have some experience editing textures and such but never really making my own. Could someone give me a good guide or good tips on how to make a -good- texture, as well as a recommended size?
Oh and a good program, right now I use paint.net but i'm not sure if its the best to use for this.
As far as art programs go, you don't need anything too advanced, considering it's pixel art. Of course, if you're picky and want some more advanced tools, there's a pretty wide range of options. I personally use Seashore, but it's a Mac-only program.
As far as tips for actually making the pack, just pick your own style and stick with it. I've made a few personal packs that I never really released, and they all have their own unique personality that I decided on at the beginning.
For your first pack, I would also strongly recommend basing it off of the vanilla textures, just to get an idea of how it all fits together.
first I would suggest using gimp instead of paint.net as it has more plugins and is way more advanced. as far as tutorials on making them yourself, find an image on google that you like and use it as a base..in gimp go to filters->map and make it seamless before or after editing it to your liking.
also, would suggest going to the texture artists guild link in my sig and go to the website, you will probably get more/better help in our forum.
