For me the best way is to start small and simple and with rough masses. I do not have a real work in progress of my self portrait as I only have the finished product now, but I can show you roughly how I proceeded.
For a pixel art of this resolution (I don’t bother with my very low res ones) I usually start with human anatomy basics:

1 - Draw a cercle.
2 - Add the jaw to make the oval of the face.
3 - Be careful not to make the jaw too long, you should be able to divide the face into equal thirds.
4 - The eyebrows sits on the 2nd line, and the ears are positioned between the upper eyelid and the tip of the nose (but only when the face is level).
Of course you can adapte the contour of the face to suit the one you are drawing (thin, round, angular…)
Add the general traits like the rough masse of your hair, clothes… Then you can add the features and the details that make you, you.
This gif doesn’t show all the things and pixels that I changed here and there, sometimes it can take time to find the one pixel that will make the portrait works. For example, at one point my portrait looked like this:
But I wasn’t satisfied with it, it had too many details that made the lecture less clear, and my face was too long and too round. So I had to change it a few times too get it right.
I hope this will help!
All of you. Everyone.
Lessons I have learnt since:
1. Don’t let the country bumpkin who slep 100 years out on the open fields on his own.
2. You just shouldn’t EQUIP metal in thunder, you can still keep it in your bag.
3. Flame potions only work if you drink them BEFORE everything is on fire.
snape could’ve been an awesome teacher if he wasn’t a disgusting waste of a human being. he knew from age 16 that the instuctions that the textbooks were giving weren’t as good as they could be. he improved the potions and recorded his methods at age 16. if he weren’t such a shitbag, he could’ve either written the damn textbooks himself, or taught his students his alternate methods. he could’ve revolutionized how potions were being brewed, teaching whole generations a superior method of potion brewing. instead, he spent his time bullying children.
He could have become rich and famous and been one of the most well regarded wizards of his age with his knowledge of spells and potions
But instead he decided “The girl i hurled racial slurs at put me in the Friend Zone so I’m gonna go become a Magic Nazi and then spend the remainder of my adult years emotionally abusing twelve year olds”
He could have become everything a Slytherin should have been instead of the epitome of what everyone else thinks they are.
