creating immage (gif) by drawing at the pixel level.

Hi, :-)

I am using Gimp 2.8.0 but only understand about 5% or less of it. (It is running on Win.7 Hm. Prm., Vsn 6.1, Sp-1.)
How can I define or adjust the pencil tool so it draws at the one pixel size in a new ".gif" work area. (That would be one pixel in the image to one pixel on the screen.) I found how to define the work area in pixels for a ".gif". The predefined pencil tool sizes (chosen by assorted dots) "went away" several versions of Gimp back as far as I know.
Please would someone direct me to where the answer can be located. I am not a graphic artist or a photographer so please use non-technical english.
The object of this effort is to produce "TrainGifs" for use in other applications. Should you be interested just Google "TrainGifs" and you will be able to check out multiple site for this hobby.
Thanks and bye,
Retired and Confused :-)

Create a 1x1 pixel image in grayscale mode. Fill with black. Save/Export as .GBR in your brushes folder.

GIMP 2.8 should still include a 1x1 square brush by default ... just make sure to set your pencil tool's brush size to 1, then you can paint individual pixels.

creating immage (gif) by drawing at the pixel level.

Any parametric brush can be scaled down to 1 pixel in Brush tool option box and will give you 1x1 dot with pencil (or 1 pixel wide line). Just make sure the brush you've chosen for pencil drawing isn't animated or non-parametric.
