I just thought I should post this here. It is a collection of links to pixel art tutorials that have helped me over the past year. I think it could be very useful to those trying to learn to be pixel artists.

In no particular order...
http://www.natomic.com/hosted/marks/mpat/ - a introductory pixel art tutorial that covers everything from pallet selection to file formats.
http://www.derekyu.com/?page_id=218 - a ten-step tutorial that covers how to create a sprite from start to finish
