I'm not the greatest pixeller in the world (why do you think I tool? XD) so bare with the pallettes I have used and all other pixel things XD.
Remember Deviants, always credit your stock, on and off site and please respect their rules. Thanks to ~F2FStocks and *SenshiStock for the pose references used in this tutorial.
Remember, drawing isn't something you learn overnight, and since basemaking is the base of a doll, it's drawing. So if you want to make brilliant, beautiful and usable bases practice your drawing skills and hence your basemaking skills.
Anything in which you can add colour pixel by pixel. So from photoshop to mspaint. I know some people who use paint.net but I personally use gimp. There's no right or wrong program.

detail is less "OMG I should Add Detail" and more "if this were a real person/object/building what would be there"
Like right at this moment I'm wearing jeans and a t shirt, but my jeans have seams down the side, and studs at the top, my socks have a hole in them round the toe, my t shirt has seams at the shoulder and a wide hem at the neckline and a design right down the front, it's sort of bunched up at one side because of how I'm sitting. My hair is sticking out at a slightly odd angle due to my headphones. So you can quite easily take what is a boring outfit, and make it interesting without having to give me pink hair, or a corset or 6 inch stillettos. It's the little real things that make stuff interesting, not the 'crazy out there' things.

yeah, then again, i havent made anything look realistic enough to properly be able to shade it o.o i'm hoping to try that soon; even in my regular drawing im bad at trying to find places where wrinkles should be or how to draw seams that don't look awkward >.<'

Everything can be found in life. I'm forever looking in the mirror. I have some long bits of material I drape over a stool to see how they fall so I can draw that on a skirt. Art isn't about making stuff up but about the ability to use your imagination applied to the world around you.
