Yeah a big reason I started doing pixel art back in 2009 was because it enabled me to do lots of trial and error by changing pixels until I got it to look good. It's much harder to do that with more traditional art, because there are way more options. That's not at all to say that pixel art doesn't require skill, but the skill floor is definitely lower.
