@Emberheartgames With these texture no.
Mostly painted with normal digital brushes (the size just set to really small).
After I have painted the texture and it got the "correct" feel, I sometimes posterize the layer (about to 16 colors) to get the pixel art feel. Then finish it with 1 px brush
@whitetoriigames@LNorwegians made great tutorial on Youtube about making these kind of textures.
Its in Photoshop but it holds on pretty much any painting software (I use Krita 99% of times).

@whitetoriigames Use small canvas, 64x64 or such. Paint flat colors first, get shapes you want. Then start apply shadows/highlights. If you need, add some photo textures as overlay layer (to add color some variety). Look at lots of references and try to mimic the "feel" of the material.
@decoyocelot89 Yes, its just a 64x64. I'm trying to use it as much as possible, so I made vertically tileable with gradients on the borders, to have the shadows and highlights from it.

@LimboOrphan Hand painted pixel art. I used some non-pixelart brushes first and then posterized the colors into 16 colors and painted the rest with normal pixel art brush.
