Can I let you in on a little secret? While it's fine to copy an official sprite style, you need to understand that not all official sprite styles are actually appealing. Just check out a lot of the SNES sprites for example. If you look at the sprite work from a game like Super Mario World or the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, those styles lack in comparison to nearly any sprites you'd find on this part of the forum. Since the user-made sprites are generally appealing, it's best if you follow any advice they give you, so you can eventually make sprites that awesome someday.
