Apps How to create graphics for a game?

Hello, I basically know squat about programming, I've always been more of a hardware guy than a software guy. However my friend is experienced in Java and C++, so basically, we want to make an android game just for fun, I have access to photo shop and can do a little bit of art myself, I can also make the music for the game. I am asking if there are any certain prerequisites for making the graphics for a game. The game will have a 2d artstyle, most likely 16 bit, and will be a platformer.

What should the pixel ratio be for all the tiles in the game? if I create an 16x16 image in photoshop and then design a character, would that character appear small in the game because it is only 16x16 pixels? Can graphic tiles be enlarged and minimized when coding the actual game? Once again I have no knowledge of how coding works, let alone creating a game.
