I am new, well, actually, I made an account here a looong time ago but never did anything. I was starting pixel art and got frustrated and left it. Well, I came back to it! a few years later  so, here I am trying to learn how to pixel^_^ I am still a beginner though. I use MS Paint to create my pixels and then I animate them in GIMP. If anyone has any tips please tell, I am excited about learning pixel art and really want to learn to do my best!!! Thank you so much I cannot wait to meet everyone!~

Oh, I should show you some work I have completed. I tried my best, to people on this forum it is probably less than mediocre and must be atrocious.  But, Could people tell me which pixel rules I followed or didnt follow? I would like t know some tips on how to get better Thanks in advance! 
This is a lollipop that I made , I think the animation is good, but I would like someone elses opinion

My first real attempt at what I call complex animation  For some reason, GIMP didnt let me make it transparent so I had to leave it with the white background


My ver first real project, a Band aid lol
