This coming from someone who hasn't improved even one bit since he started spriting.
Honestly, when I started spriting, I did a mix between HEAVY edits, and small customs. Starting with just edits isn't a bad idea at all, if you want to become a good custom pixel artist, stick with edits until you have a decent grasp on contrast and being able to get detail into sprites like that, and then slowly move into customs.
Don't try to rush into customs unless you REALLY want to though, most people I know stayed with edits for a year or two before they got to the point they're at now.
