There are a lot of specific programs for just pixelart but I think a generic graphics program with a pencil tool (brush without antialiasing) is all you need. If you have a Mac (I don't

) you can use the greatest pixel graphics app ever- Pixen: http://www.opensword.org/Pixen/

A lot of pixel artists are proud to be purists and use paint.

If I was doing it I would use Photoshop, so you could make use of layers and the history (undo/redo) function.

I used to use MSPaint to draw gameboy game characters in color. I just looked really close at the dot matrix screen and drew it. that was a really really long time ago. MSPaint, Photoshop, Paintshop, and GIMP should all work for regular pixel drawings.
