    How do you make those? Do you digitalize the whole picture or do you go pixel by pixel?

    I use the original picture as a guide and then manually draw over it.  I then double the width.  So, the drawing starts at 48x96 pixels but ends up 96x96

    That's really cool. I've been wanting to try out some pixel art myself... Looked up a few tutorials... Now the question is whether or not I will truly have the patience to sit down and try it.

    It's pretty easy.  Just start doodling with MSPAINT.EXE  Practice and stuff :)

    I have a mac and I don't think MS Paint works for macs, does it? I have a couple other programs that should work for pixel art either way.

    Yup.  My first computer was a PC so that's what I use.  This is kinda similar (but it sounds like you got that covered)

    Oh, I've heard of that one. I can't remember if I tried it out or not when I was looking for different programs to use, but I will give it a shot. Thank you!
