Hello people of pixeljoint!

I've recently taken an interest in pixel art, so like the lazy man I am, I read all the tutorials I could. Unfortunately most of them tell you WHAT to draw an not how. So I came here and found a tutorial by some guy calling himself cure. While that tutorial was helpful, it covered a bit of a broad subject. While I'm trying to focus more on Gamesprites and tilesets, s/he covered the basics of ALL pixel art.

any way, what I'm asking (after such a long winded explanation) is if you guys know any good resources I could take a look at, this could be as simple as a GS resource site. I think my main problems are proportion and shading/Anti-aliasing
