Hi Sahrab and welcome! I'm new here too :)

I don't think it's very good to start with that. Steve from minecraft has a very distinct look, and trying to mimic him just will probably end up in an almost exact copy, at least if you draw him in the same resolution.

Try to create something original. I'd recommend that you try begin with small tiles and sprites so you can learn how to use pixels efficiently. Looking at your example i get the feeling that you aren't sure about the concept of pixel art itself. Pixel art is less about making art that looks blocky and more about using pixels efficiently.

Pixel art is what you want it to be :) when I first started my major problem is figuring out something cool to draw and get inspiration. So I guess work on that
