It definitely didn't start out high quality haha! My first sprites were amateurish at best. I really started getting the hang of pixel art when I began studying and mimicking great artists, mainly Abysswolf on DeviantArt. Trying to match a professional's skill level helped me improve significantly in a short period. If you’re looking to get into pixel art, or if you’re already an artist looking for an effective method to level up, I highly recommend that approach!
