You can't start until you actually start anon. I started by making shitty Pokemon sprite fusions and branched from there. Study the styles of other pieces and games, try to make your own sprite in those styles. Understand them in and out.

Fundamentals help.

mspaint isn't a great program for pixel art really, there are many better alternatives and some of them are free

You obviously have not the slightest idea about pixelart.

>Mspaint
>No pallette management
>No multiple layers
>No pixel art dedicated tools
>Autistic ergonomics
>No miniature full-view sub window
>No tiling support
>No animation support

>>2332125

OP, Get real and download graphicsGale, grafx2 or something else.

Learn how to pallette, learn how to antialiasing, learn how to dithering and for fucks sake learn how to sprite.

Search tutorials online and git gud.

Yes, fundamentals help, but studying others' works help more.

You're implying quite a lot.

GraphicsGale is good though
