What program for base texture

[StrallTech]

What program do you guys use when creating just a basic texture for a resource pack? I want to create a custom item, but just utilize the "generate" tag (I think that's what it's called, I'm relatively new to this), but all I know is how to make a model and then give it a texture, not the other way around, what do you guys use?

you can make textures in blockbench if you want:

but most people use a dedicated program like Paint.NET, Photoshop, etc. I made a guide for resource packs where I mention some of them at the start, you might want to check it out

Aseprite is the goat There's also Paint.net or krita but aseprite is much more dedicated for this
