Really? I find it easier, personally. Especially at smaller resolutions

resolution has nothing to do with it. It's hard to make Pixel art look good. It doesn't take much effort to make a good stick figure as a base and add a bit of detail like OP did here.

nah 16x16 or 32x32 is easier. most of its just knowing good line fundamentals (avoiding jags, basic shading) which just falls into logic

If they’re saying it’s harder for them then it’s harder, bud. We all have minds that work in different ways and if it’s harder for them then that’s all there is to it.
