Can i have some pointers on how to draw good 128x128 pixel art? I'm making a game, and im usually good at it but at the moment i can't think of any good ways to draw animals in particular.

just reference what animals you plan on using, the rest is up to you

If it's Static, usually a typical animal Pose is enough but, if these animals are to be Animated then that's a different ball game. You will need to be very observant with Movement patterns, timing the spacing with each frame is also important, a common frame skip on usual walk patterns are done in twos, this can vary upon scale and speed..
