Yume Tsuki:
You can do two things at this moment, Fret how much you suck at pixelarting or try to practise. I used to be pretty bad at pixelart. I've been pixelling for quite a long time now.

Sometimes I also feel down when someone's making amazing pixelart, but I'll usually try to turn it into inspiration to become a better pixelartist and is mainly my motivation to keep on trying to make something nice.

lol I did try :P it looked like someone ate several colors of paint and threw up on the sprites hahaha it gave me quite a good laugh

Bryan:
A majority of people think pixel art is something you can do real quick or simply don't have the patience to sit there and swap out colors until they get the right match. It's something you develop over years, and takes a quite of bit of time to master.

Here are a few tutorials that helped me out.

Another thing you could do is use reference pictures to give you idea's. Ive seen, and created, many pixel artists that were not good what so ever, but after time became better than me.

Color is the biggest thing that most amateur artist have trouble with. And something I still struggle with to this day. Even with 13 years under my belt. If you take the time, you could be great; and that is directed to everyone. :) Enjoy.

HURRY LIGHT OUT THAT FIRE ON HIS HEAD!... jks the jacket looks a bit pale on the left of the frontal view 1 and 2 on the side views theres that wierd shininess going around the ear that looks a bit out of place but overall it's great (although could use a little more shading) Not bad for your 2nd try and the eyes dont look right, look at the front page for reference.
