Do you need a tablet and a stylus to do good pixel art?

Do you need a tablet (an object that plugs into the computer and acts as a drawing board when doing pixel art) and a stylus (what you would use as a pencil/pen on the drawing board) to do quality pixel art?thank you in advance.

Nope, people do pixel art with Paint using a regular Mouse all the time.

Sincerely,
Rithy

Of course not.

[Ryochi]

ok.thanks.

That won't do good pixel art. You need precision with pixels, not stylistic flourishes of a (virtual) brush.

All you need is a virtual pixel program like MS Paint and just use the zoom for significant details.
