Hiya guys, Im actually completely new to pixel art, but not art in general. Ive always admired it, especially really detailed stuff like in metal slug or stuff other crazy dedicated pixel artists out there do, its incredible, but ive always been too intimidated to try it out.
Admittedly, I can see anatomy and perspective problems with this, and I am not very good at coloring/shading in any medium but I am pleasantly surprised with how fun the pixel medium is and I think I would like to continue experimenting with it, what do you guys suggest I can do to improve?

Digital mediums are actually my favorite. Its actually what I started learning to draw with. I'm too spoiled by Ctrl+Z to use pencil and paper...

So.. I am going to follow your advice. I am motivated to attempt an animated sprite of a person walking. Im trying to get down the animation before i go ahead and try rendering. As you can see im not so great at animating, any advice would be appreciated. It looks funky because I made it way too big and had to downsize it a tad, I'm going to go over everything of course when I am satisfied with the animation. No inbetween frames really yet.
