My first post was pretty terrible, but i just need some help. (also still not sure how to post images yet..)

I am really keen on making a pixel platform game (school major project) and i need to learn how to make pixel art and animations. So i wanted to refer to this community of bright and creative artists to help me!

So anyone who can give me any insight onto how to go about drawing pixel art and animations.

My idea for my character is a regular guy who can cast fireballs. No capes.

I know its a very rough idea but me and my friends are still coming up with ideas for more characters and after we learn to draw pixel art (which I'm hoping you guys can teach us) we should be posting more and more of our art and getting your feedback on our game/art.

Any feedback is appreciated

Thanks
