You can’t study or ready your way to better art. You need to be hands on. When you have trouble with a specific thing, you can watch a video or get some advice on that, but then will still need to practice, practice, practice.

Also be realistic about how much progress you can make in a certain amount of time. You can make a game with very basic sprites. As your art improves, so can the sprites in the games.

The other option is to partner up with someone who has art skills already, but can’t make games. Together you can make more than either one could make alone.
