Looks like you're off to a great start! You probably don't want to just hear "practice everyday/practice makes perfect," so instead I'll ask : Have you tried searching on deviantArt? There's a ton of tutorials of varying quality there. Like these two(1, 2) that helped me with the bottles I made for my koi.

Personally, I spent a lot of time in the past splicing together Pokémon sprites, and I like to think that working with so many of them gave me a feel for pixel art. Maybe studying some professional sprites could help you?

Join the Pokemon Infinite Fusion discord then, it's a fan game where people can upload custom images for their team members. The community is great, there's a channel where you can post your art and get constructive criticism, and that's the best way to grow as a pixel artist.
