I've been checking some examples but I can't quite get how one works on it.
There's multiple layers, and multiple frames.
Do you do each layer on every frame, or do you finish a frame with every layer then move on.

Probably a very basic question but I have zero experience working on digital media.

really late but here's my take:

You have your hue slider with all sorts of blues, light blue, normal, dark blue, and then it turns into purple. Purple is also a shade of red, so the ramp starts a new hue slider from that purple and transitions to red. It's basically a road which two hue charts meet.

There's no set palette. But the larger your palette, the more difficult it is to manage and edit. There is no limit to how many colors pixel art can have, it's more about pixel placement than color count.

I find that a good solution is to do your lineart in black as guideline initially and then (if your program has it) use the color replace feature to replace the black with the most dominant color of the sprite but with far more saturation and darkness, but not full saturation generally.

more shadow
and also rimlights
but the shadows are the important bit. establish the light source and shade based on that

Did this awhile back. Will continue to expand this and add more AA once I get the time to do so.

Well.... maybe when I'm done with some other responsibilities.

Shitty beginner here. I have to learn alot especially to feel form and anatomy. Is it better to do it with drawing or can I do it with pixels? Thing is I'm really into pixel art.

Do both. Will be easier and quicker to learn fundamentals with drawing (except maybe color theory)

This is looking great so far.
The palette looks vibrant & lively. I especially like your use of purple to outline water in pools.

My only criticism is the ocean looks a bit flat compared to the other assets, but I'm sure that's already something you were planning to address.
