Or if you can't afford photoshop, you can always use "The Gimp".

I use Photoshop on my desktop, and the Gimp on my laptop. I do most of my developing on the laptop anyway, so I tend to use the Gimp more than photoshop.

Though, the Gimp is honestly the better option for pixel art. Photoshop can be good for pixel art, but you have to muck with some settings that remove Anti-aliasing and feathering, as well as pressure. Most people can't figure out how to disable these right off the bat. The Gimp has a lower learning curve, but doing the more difficult advanced things you can do easily with photoshop are much harder in The Gimp.

Hang on, because I didn't say it enough times in that last block of text:

The Gimp
