I have barely any pixel art skill, and I thought templates would be a more gradual introduction. Are there any?

Are there any pixel art templates?
I think that depends on the format you're looking for. The RPG-Maker engine has a big community where a lot of people share their templates for character sprites (usually 4-directional walkanimations) for others to use as a basis. Is that what you are looking for?
You can find some by hiddenone here: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/hiddenones-mv-resource-warehouse.47255/
Other than those or similar ones, I am currently not aware of templates, but I am sure there are some out there.
if youre just starting off, i suggest you practice by downloading sprite sheets, and observing how they are drawn and shaded. Then you can try tracing your design over them.
