What is Pixelart (by *Pix3M) explains differences between styles and resolutions and the general approach of pixel art, really easy to understand.
Ramblethread (Pixelation) Focuses on a lot of interesting techniques, especially Clusters, Helm was really gentle to provide that much of his great and insightful „half assed theories“ everyone should enjoy.
The Pixel Art Tutorial (by Cure) extensive overview about pixel art (put in a nutshell), definitely worth a read, but it's maybe here and there hard to understand if you are a beginner, since it's really on point and don't gives a lot additional information.
