Will anyone be willing to give me a tutorial on making graphics?I really want to try to make my own custom and maybe a few hats,guns, etc. I'm only using free programs right now which are Microsoft Paint and Gimp 2.8 but I can't figure out how to use them!

paint.net and mc paint and gimp are 3 main free great pixel softwares  

Paint.net is better for editing pictures, Gimp is a very good software when it comes to pixel art.

You should watch some videos about shading and line art, but to be honest only practice makes you better. There are some funny studies about talent btw...  

Would it be useful to use a mouse maybe?

I used regular Paint off windows most of the time for anything I made.

I am only just starting to use photoshop

I use gimp to make majority of my customs and its pretty simple to use. Unusually just mess around with stuff until I understand what that tool does.

Probably because your colors are indexed, change it to RGB mode.

I use the version 3.5.11 though because it's way simpler.
