using Unity for 2D sprite creation

I’ve watched so many tutorials and nothing is helping. I’m completely new to unity…I’ve been using game maker. I simply want to draw 2D sprites. How do I do this? Every video had the art just being imported. I’m confused and lost. Can someone please help?

Unity is not a 2D sprite creation tool, it is a game development & design tool. Although I am sure you could create your own program, you might consider going with some of the more popular design tools. I personally prefer Paint.NET for sprite design but there are many options available out there.

Inkscape is a great tool for vector art, so you can scale everything later. Also free.

+1 for Paint.NET as well.
GIMP is good, if you don’t mind the learning curve of the UI.
