I want to get into the pixel art space. I've heard of some tools a friend uses, but I'd prefer to use something open-source if possible. What are some of the best options available?

I'm not very experienced, so someone can probably correct me, but from what I've seen there's quite a few options. Technically, with the right settings, you can use Gimp or Krita. There's Piskel, which is open source and I think there's an offline build. Also, I've never used it before, but there's an open source fork of Aseprite called Libresprite.
