I'm new where should I start?

You should have started where all new-comers start, in the new-comers thread.
Though I guess now, a mod will have to move this or something.

At any rate, welcome, I guess.

As for a good beginning sprite, do something original (i.e. no recolors or edits). When I first got into pixelling, I found it easiest to pixel objects and then I moved on to people. Try pixelling an object around the house that you are interested in, really look at it and try to bring out details while restricting your color count.
