I've been trying pixel art and haven't been very productive. I have extreme trouble with lineart, and I suck at texturing. My colors are really odd and my anatomy's bad. I don't really have a style. I do know that I like colors blending; I like AA a lot and don't really like dithering.
Does anyone know any good tutorials for AA, lineart, shading?

Your problem doesn't lie with pixel art, but with the foundations of art. If I were you I wouldn't worry about the pixel-specific techniques, and focus on drawing with pencil and paper, as it presents less obstacles. If your anatomy is bad, study anatomy ( http://www.alexhays.com/loomis/ - Figure Drawing For All It's Worth, Drawing the Head and Hands ). Study lighting by drawing from life (such as a still life lit with a lamp, or whatever is in your front yard, or the corner of your room, or your face in the mirror). For information on anti-aliasing, check The Pixel Art Tutorial located in this subforum. Lineart is a matter of learning contour lines, and is best done by doing lots of contour line drawings (using pencil and paper, and a photographic or real-life reference).
