That blonde "girl" is actually a boy! xD He's a character of mine, I sprited him in case I made my own game.

Thank you. =^^= Well, I don't think I'm good enough to give any advices, but I'd say the best way to start is editing existing sprites. that will get you a good grasp of the tools as well as get you comfortable spriting small things. Later on, when you start making your own sprites, I recommend drawing the concept in full size first, then make it small and trace the lines instead of just pixeling from scratch. That's how I do it at least! :>
