I don't do pixel art and don't know how people do it on Powder Toy, but you could look up tutorials or tips on YouTube on how to make pixel art with Photoshop for example, it might give you an idea on how to do it on Powder Toy.

But here is a lazy method I learned somewhere, take this Pokemon image for example:



Load it on Photoshop or any good photo editor and add your own grids manually on it on a separate layer, the smaller the grid, the better the art will be. I made mine a bit big for this demonstration and also used Photoshop to do it:



Fill in the squares of the grid to make an outline around the image and also where the black lines are in the image. I did this in a separate layer:



Fill in the rest of the image and use a colour sampler tool to choose the right colours. I did each body part in separate layers (Legs, Head, Horns, Tail, Body):



Hide the layer with the grids and also the layer with the main image to see the end result (you can keep the grids if you want). Although it might look ugly with blank grids, it's actually useful for the next step:



Have your photo editor and Powder Toy opened at the same time and copy the image over to the game manually pixel by pixel (CGI is not allowed, so you can't use programs to convert the image to a Powder Toy save). The grids are actually helpful in this step to know how many pixels to draw in-game for each part of the image. I didn't do this step because it will take me a long time, but the end result should look something like this:
