Can I use GIMP?

i find drawing with ms paint seems to be a cool idea but i am faced with a huge problem, that is transparency. i could find a way to use some kind of tool that could make the white background transparent but i find that kinda tedious. I also have aseprite and GIMP

Read the FAQ

I already read it but "MS paint alternatives" seems a bit too broad.

Theoretically yes. as long as you only use the default pencil tool with the default brush. you should also use 1-6 pixels as your width. 

Thanks, that makes sense

So basically, one could use any program as long as youre using a few pixel small pencil tool

Yep! Our rule of thumb is just not to use any tools not present in paint!

what i do is i draw in ms paint but then take a screenshot and pit transparency  in the background and put it into the game
