may i ask a question please?
yes, anytime, the forum is the place.

when i upload my pixel art into pixel joint gallery it says AWAITING APPROVAL
what does that mean?
It means its in the public queue awaiting member voting input and eventual addition to your gallery. You are new and things may sit a little longer than usual since we don't know you yet and you may be a RIPer. Members will quickly find out ;) Nothing personal, we gwt spammed often.

Also some of my pixels says
REVISION NEEDED BEFORE APPROVAL
????
This means that the overall concensus on a piece is that it needs work. This may be the quality of the pixelart, the lineart or any other pixelart related technique. It is very difficult to specify one thing so its best to post in the forum WIP section to get feedback to help you determine what is at issue. Sometimes its the simplest thing, other times it may be a combination of things. The forum works, use it :)

what do i do to fix it?
Again, the forum will get you input which you then use to improve the piece not only so that it gets in your gallery but so that you improve overall.

About your gallery piece awaiting approval:

me first pixel art in here

This piece has lineart issues and coloring is very weak. This piece can be improved and should be.

Chef?

Coloring is very weak and slightly pillowshaded, which is frowned upon in pixelart. Anatomy is really poor. Contrast issues also apply here.

my jacket

It doesn't look like a jacket. The arms are rather difficult to make out. I dunno about this one, let's hope the real one keeps you warm : /

redscarf

Same as the chef although this one has some signs of good contrast and style so it's worth refining somehow to make it pop.

sprite trial

This is the most troublesome pixelart in your gallery. It has good contrast, anatomy and style. You mention nothing in the description whether its referenced on another's work so assuming it's 100% original work then it makes other things in your gallery not worthy of your gallery. This piece shows the type of work we'd like to see in the others.
Your challenge entry which I just added could be better and in time you will get better. This one shows promise and is somewhere between the weak pixelarts and the sprite test.

In conclusion, its hard to tell where you are at in pixelart. The scope of your gallery is vast. We will only judge you on your own work and never against another person. For now I suggest you use the forum WIP section to help with feedback and continue with the quality of the challenge entry and improve from there. Revisit all the pixelart sent back and bring the quality of the pixelart techniques up to match :)

Well I don't think you suck at all.
Your challenge knight entry is fine.
This little guy here looks good too. The jacket on the sprite looks great. Alone as you submitted it looks...like not much.
I think it may be the way you present your art rather than your pixelling. This little guy even has some contrast.

Dithering using 50/50 like the knight is fine as is the other way. Its style and artistic choices.

Use the WIP section for input and help. The best tutorial is looking at other's gallery and asking questions. Don't worry if your English is not the best. Like love, pixelart is universal :)

You can improve your spriting by accepting the fact that you " suck " and resolving to " not suck ". I put those in quotes, 'cause they're not true in more ways than one. We all were pretty dang bad at one time or another. Take Jalonso, for example. When he started doing pixel art in 1863, all he could do was a simple circle out of rocks. Plus he added a lens flare. Toootal noob, check it out:

Be your own worst enemy. Jalonso has had several decades to hone his self-critiquing ability, and that is why he can produce such great and massive pixel arts. He makes something, and when he gets stuck with something, he stops and takes a look at it. He says to himself:

"Jalonso, what is wrong with this piece? What don't you like about this piece of artwork? Is it within my technical grasp to fix?"

If Jalonso says no, it isn't within his technical grasp to fix, then he gives up and submits it to his gallery? NO! That crazy old bug TRIES ANYWAYS! Know why? Because practice is the cure-all for sh*tty artistry. Practice practice practice, draw draw draw. And have a little love for your work. Make it the best that it can be, not just okay.

Uhhhh >_< i'm sorry for lieing my age -.-
well "THATS AGE DIScrimination" lol everything is like for 13+ >_<
omg you guys are old lol

There're also legal reasons--at least in the U.S., websites aren't allowed to accept personal information from children below the age of 13.

in the worst cases, you can always go back and play some old SNES/Genesis games to get some ideas and inspiration.

notice I never mentioned the word RIPPING or EDITING in that advice. you know, we always caught these bad guys, soon or later.
