i am within a conundrum: i need a tool or art program that lets different layers have seperate pixel sizes, or at least increase a brush size and fix it to a grid or something. ive noticed that with pixel art, free style brushing is very fun and sustainable, but with smaller sprites with more details, it becomes more necessary to use a reference at a higher resolution, so having something like that layered over my sprite art while i work would be incredibly helpful! (i have already tried downscaling a large image, it just doesnt work. less helpful than just spriting it myself (most of the time))

image is a demonstration of the effect i am going for.

the designs here are simple and blobbish, so it wasnt much difficulty to downscale a higher resolution and work with that. but i need more than that!

trying to do a little gmae jam for myself and i dont have much time to work with so my situation is QUITE orgent.

thanyou.
