There's a difference between "disabled" and "legally recognized as disabled," and I just want to give a shout-out to all the other disabled people who don't have formal diagnoses, who don't have access to benefits of any kind, who don't have the ability to use even the shittiest and least-helpful resources, because the process of getting legal recognition for disability sucks ass.
And another shout-out to all the disabled people who purposely avoid getting diagnosed, because official diagnoses can be used against you, and you're unable or unwilling to risk it.
Get the software:
Aseprite (the pixel software of all time)
Video tutorial:
Aseprite Crash Course in 30 minutes by AdamCYounis
If you already have it you can skip ahead to 'the workspace' timestamp in the video.
If you have ever used another art software, Aseprite will be familiar to you but all the keybinds will be messed up. You can go to edit > keyboard shortcuts, search what you're missing and rebind it to whatever you're used to.
Most important keybinds (to me):
Brush: B
Eraser: E
Undo: control + Z
Redo: control + Y
Quick colour picker: hold alt and click
New layer: shift + N
New frame: alt + N
Lasso select: Q
Quick outline: shift + O
Help! I pressed a button by accident and now I don't know how to fix it
These are a couple keybinds that are actually really useful for pros but a pain in the butt if you hit them while you're learning
Put the animation timeline back: tab
Undo snap to grid: shift + S
The window fills my screen and i cant see the pc bar: F11
The tools are gone: ctrl + F (might have to press it 2 times)
I can give some more advanced tips if anyone wants, but I dont want to overwhelm. If youre stuck there is official aseprite documentation where you can search for what you need. Or just ask me. Everything you have could possibly stuck on I have got stuck on it before 20 times.

Take it slow and have fun! It will take a while to get used to everything but the software is amazing! Trust the process!
i feel bad for being sassy cos i realized now this poor person is asking about the background of images like this
which is obviously not handmade. sorry for getting confused, it happens more often than you think that people accuse me of using a filter for my pixel art or something
so here is a tutorial for aseprite on how to crunch the colours of a photo like this into any palette !!
step 1. find a royalty free photo or take one yourself
heres one i just took on my camera
2. open it in aseprite and change the image size to be smaller whatever you need
MM yes nice and crunchy
Select a palette of your choice on the left side of the screen on the palette panel. use the middle icon to open the palettes dropdown.
i am using my palette i made at 20k followers, you can download it free here
once you have chosen your palette, in the top bar go to sprite > color mode > indexed. it should automatically choose the nearest colour it can from your palette for every pixel
as you can see its quite messy and i do like to clean it up a little but it looks good messy too like old games!! sorry for being sassy
