I have no real experience in art but yet i want to make projects like video games. What are some free ways to make 2d assets and packs for free, how do i learn, what style should i study, where do i find reference images/poses? etc.

I know i could use pre-made assets but i really want to try my hand at art.

Im trying not too make this post too long but feel free to add onto this if you wish.

Try this one. LibreSprite

here is a tutorial for how to use it

I use Aseprite but that's $20.

Isn't Aseprite's source code public, though?
