The new square fleck is great for pixel art but the way the tools are isn't really suited for making lots of pixel art and it has a few bugs.

1. The flecks randomly don't snap to the grid properly making them difficult to work with.

2. When you stamp the square fleck over another one it causes it to flicker. They either need to merge their colours (not super optimised) or the previous fleck needs to be deleted.

3. The way to make a 2D canvas to paint onto is quite alot of hassle. It causes the sculpt's flecks to overlap the pixel art even if you reduce the sculpts fleck size and flatten it's flecks. It requires too much knowledge for beginners to use it easily as they also need to enable surface snap and grid. Maybe a tool for drawing 2D art could be added which just opens a flat canvas that we can draw onto.

4. The grid only lets you draw in straight lines. It would be good to just make it so that when using the draw line tool and grid it draws in a line if not it's basically just free to snap to any point on the grid.

5. Most pixel art tools have features to make it faster like drawing flecks in a circle, square or triangle (and the bucket fill tool but this would be kinda difficult to add). Bigger brush sizes for drawing pixels. And features that improve the appearances of it like pixel perfect option.

6. The delete tool is really time consuming. Every time you want to delete a single fleck you have to switch over to a completely different tool and you can only delete a single fleck or line at a time. Pressing triangle or circle to delete anything we're hovering over would make it so much faster.

I really think the tools could be amazing for pixel art so I hope some of these things get added.
