Theres so much cool pixel art on the web. How do you guys do it? Do you just paint every pixel closeup, or is there a special trick?

You can draw it easily in ms paint. Ms Paint is in your accessories folder on windows. Or just turn the interpolation in photoshop to nearest neighbor instead of bi-cubic, use the pencil tool and turn-off all the tabelt options.
Also, altough this isn't as limited as 8-bits, check this out, these boards let you draw like you where working on a 16 bit game.

It's even possible with Adobe Illustrator.
I am experimenting with that right now. When you (test)Save for Web you wil find (when choosing gif or png) an antialiasing option in the image size-section...turn it off...click apply.....then you can play with the number of colours you want to be displayed...very handy for geometric objects!

I just figured out how to do it in Painter7 too. In the Brush palettes go to Control and show brush controls, you'll get a whole lot of options. Chose pencil and the 1-pixel thingie type. You'll only be able to do one pixel per stroke, wich sucks. So in the controls well you.. I don't remember how exactly I got to do it, but basicaly turn down all the options to 0 or 1 until you get that pixel per pixel flat line. It's not that hard, I just don't remember how I did it.

technically you could do it in illustrator by turning on the grid and using individual blocks as pixels and building it one by one
