I'm starting and while everyone says "stick to 16x16, it will be easier..." I find quite difficult to draw in so tiny space where every pixel matters. All submissions where stunning, congratulations!

Yeah, I've found 16 x 16 very difficult. Especially if you are using too many colours. I think the best 16x16 stuff I've done I restricted it to just 4 bold colours, and that worked kind of well. I think a good balance between "small enough to do fast" but "large enough to include some easy defining details" is 24 x 24. It's small enough still though that you can still get away with just moving a couple pixels for animations. That's a size I like working in. 32 x 32 is great, but at that point you've got enough space that you really do have to pay more attention to shading and whatnot, but more importantly, requires you to have better planned more detailed animation which can greatly increase the time it takes to create.

Yeah it is true that 16px is very hard, generally, the more pixels you have the more you can get away with, so in that sense 32px is easier, but if you're trying to utilise the importance of EVERY pixel the same way you do in a 16px size, then it can be harder in that way haha.
