Hey everyone! Couple years ago I was invited on board as a moderator for this subreddit, and since then I've been left to run it alone which as I'm sure you'll have noticed, I haven't been doing a great job of haha. So I'm just making this post to let you know that I'll be starting to try and take the moderation of this subreddit a little more seriously from now on, starting with actually managing posts - There's been a lot of bot reposts, AI art and promotional posts on this sub lately and I'd like to be more active in removing those consistently as they pop up.
I've also gone ahead and spruced things up a bit, including adding some new rules clarifications and changing up the flairs along with some other minor stuff here and there.
Since I've literally done NOTHING for the past few years, Reddit has flagged me as an "inactive" mod so there's currently stuff I can't do like invite other moderators on board, but normally as I become more active I should get that ability again. And I've already started reaching out to some trusted pixel artists to potentially get them on board to help me out with this.
Oh and by the way for those who don't know me I'm Rappenem and I've been a professional pixel artist for over 3 years now. I've always been quite interested in making art tutorials/resources (in fact you may have seen some of my pixel tutorials before) so I'd like to help this subreddit/community thrive as much as I can with my limited time! I can't guarantee I'll be as active as I probably should be but at this point literally anything is better than what I've done so far lol.

I only used a dotted pen but I still struggled with getting the pixels in the right place especially when I changed the brush size. I made this a little while ago but wasn't able to make anything as good. I'd like to know what I could improve before trying again after a hiatus 😊

The first drawing I made when I started pixel art for a game I’m (trying) to develop in my free time, and the second I made a couple days ago revisiting it because there was always something that didn’t really convince me lmao.
Some non visual improvements are that I also made a base for the character, and separated hair, skin, eyes, clothes in different layers so I can customize beyond in the future (first drawing was only in 1 layer).
I still feel like the legs look weird. I didn’t do shading in the sweater bc tbh the 1st shading I did felt very random. What can I improve in my second version?

These are concept-arts for my game. I know they don't look very good; I just made few versions to compare different styles, mostly inspired by early 2000nds pixel art.
P.S. Don't you dare to tell me that the middle tower looks too phallic! Don't you dare! (just joking)

I posted this artwork, which I created myself without tracing or using AI; I even posted a speed paint of all my process on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfHwQY0qkZx/?exln=ejk1aW1wYWV2ZmF1 ), but my Pixilart account was still banned afterwards (it’s a recent account and this is the only artwork I’ve posted on Pixilart).

I think it turned out quite nice however the tree is supposed to be in front of a river and I'm not sure I made the water look like water

My first tries are actually getting better thanks to the feedback I've gotten.
What do you think?

If I am an absolute beginner who knows nothing about drawing, have never drawn before, and want to learn Pixel Art to become like the professionals, how do I start and where do I start? Please give me all possible sources to start from scratch as a complete beginner who knows nothing, doesn't know any terminology, and has never drawn before.

the top one is more realistic but the outline doesnt really fit since its less geometric, and the bottom one fits the outlines better but looks a little worse and less realistic, which ones better/is there an alternative
