it's easy to say that you know how to draw; everyone knows. But just drawing is one thing, knowing the basics behind it is another. And the basics involve shape, line, volume and character design, to name a few. If you don't have a decent amount of training, then chances are the final product will suck*
So it's advised to polish up on those basic skills and understand why things are like this. Then you can apply it in pixelart, which has the same techniques with some twists.
*DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCK. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SHOW YOUR SUCKY ART. I think this needs to go noticed to everyone, because sucking is not failing. Sucking is part of the fun of learning and if you don't suck, then you won't own at pixelart
as a motivation, here's my pixelart from 2006

it's ok to suck, sucking is not bad, just try and aim to always do your best!
