Give it time. It often takes more than a single day for people to make responses here.
As for mentoring, I don't really have the time to offer myself up. But keep in mind the point of this forum; it's a place to get feedback and advice on your work. What's to stop you from working on something and showing it to the community where you can get feedback from everyone?
This has a number of advantages:
- It distributes the time demands over the community, instead of a single person
- You gain advice from multiple perspectives, reducing the chance of something being missed/inaccurate
- It makes the advice and process viewable by other people, so they may benefit as well
Aside from that, I can give you some advice that is going to be useful no matter what you choose to do:
- Build up your art fundamentals by reading art/drawing books and working in traditional media (pencil/paper). Pixel art is just another medium of art, and relies on art fundamentals just as much as any other media. If you have trouble drawing a pig, it makes sense to practice drawing.
- For an excellent primer in pixel-art-specific considerations,
read this.
Best of luck, and welcome to the community.
