(+) Yeah! (+)

Im making a game in my free time using game maker. Ive gotten decently proficient in java and game maker language so Im confident that I can improve my programming skills to the point that is required.

However in terms of artistic talent I have zero. Does anyone know if being able to draw is a requirement for a decent pixel artist and if not how does one start learning? Im not just talking about human sprites, but tilesets and large monsters as well.
