Maybe this can help. The image in the video is the one Steffest won the Oldskool Graphics Compo with at Revision 2025
The program used can be found here https://www.stef.be/dpaint/

Start by shamelessly imitating (in private). Copy, tweak and extend from styles and artists you like. Your own style will develop over time.

I recently wanted to learn the basics to help my son and came across this article that made the most sense to me.
Pixel Art Tutorial: Basics
https://www.derekyu.com/makegames/pixelart.html
I have come across other articles that are similar in context but not as cleanly laid out.
The article doesn't go into the usage of software though. I think the design work flow, within software, would be greatly helpful in the understanding of achieving a great outcome. At least in a faster manner.
I hope that helps!
