I used to do a lot of tracing in Jr. High. Mostly Nintendo art, but not so much pixel art. I'm talking about box art and posters. I also got pretty good at just looking at existing art and drawing what I saw, which is really just tracing at a distance.
These are 32x32 icons, in the style of the Classic Mac. See: Steve Icon
I'm using Pixen to do these icons. First, I take the full-size picture and re-size it to 32x32, so I have a full-color reference. Then I put dots on top of it. Sometimes it works better than others.
It's not as easy as it may look. Just one dot can make a huge difference, especially since there are only 1024 dots to work with.
Awesome work. What do you charge to make these?
Right now, I'm mostly messing around. I'm drawing people who have set their profile picture and are active on http://steemspeak.com (discord).
These remind me so much of a drawing game from these old electronic organizers for contacts. A kid from my school had a bit more fancy one that had this drawing game (on a black and white small low pixeled screen) that he used to draw our faces on. :)
