@lawyerlounge you CAN draw them pixel by pixel in the editor but when I greeted myself with the editor it was unwelcoming and just something else I had to understand and wrap my mind around which is what led me to finding the work around. If you check one of my last posts that was a reply to pianofire you can see that this method allows for animation of the sprites as well I'm just not understanding how to do it completely but I've only had Fuze4 for about a week so it's probably natural I don't understand how to do it yet.
I am not a fan of image editing to begin with, I don't have a mouse and keyboard set up, and so on and so forth. Everything you are seeing is being done with the onscreen keyboard. The image editor using the analog sticks didn't seem "smart" or like a good idea to me because if the stick moves your pixel is then out of place. Setting it up using the arrays guarantees that your pixel is being placed EXACTLY where you want it.
Personally I think the issue is a matter of opinion on which method is better or easier to use. I could see people being able to implement the image editor in a manner that works for them but it's just more learning I have to do to crank out artwork that otherwise can be cranked out using my method that I already know how to use, somewhat. The only thing I am lacking is an understanding of the coding involved in the animation process using this method.
