Hmm since I really didn't create many tiles yet I can't give you any advice about it. But I do like editing them, recoloring, rearranging and stuff. You can create new stuff by just putting two rtp tiles together and edit it a bit, draw a bit on it, connect it, that's fun~
I either try to make games in completely rtp (but also tend to use stuff I find on the internet/here) or I make the whole game stylized with simple pixelart (idk what it's even called, fe these old pokémon graphics for gb) but since I'm lazy and perfectionist I mostly just stick to the rtp. It might not even seem like it but there's so much you can do just with the rtp and especially with the mv one. People won't ever believe XD

This, completely this! I always wind up resorting to RTP to save time.
I create my own tiles, whenever possible. If I'm using a resource pack, though, I tend to work with the DS+ pack. 
If you're just starting out, a good way to learn how to make or edit tiles is to work with the default materials. If you start with small edits, it's a lot easier to figure out the shading styles and learn to make things yourself. That said, if you can make something good using only the default assets, more power to you!

On my parallax maps, sometimes I use NO tiles at all. Everything is customized.
Hey,
For my game I created custom graphics for almost every thing including tiles. There isn't really a best way to do it. I highly suggest though using reference images. It takes a lot of practise. And them I mean a lot.
It took me over 5 months of learning before I was able to create some decent looking graphics. But maybe that is just because it was the first time, I had no experience and am an perfectionist.
Hope I didnt discourage you too much. Just be patient about it and it will work out :-)
Haha okay cool, well you know. Just don't give up then you'll be fine :D Good luck!

As a newbie and an artist, I really like custom tiles. I've probably been going about using them wrong, because I resize tiles meant for VX Ace to use in MV and it doesn't always work correctly. But I think they're ultra cool! I'm probably just gonna stick to the default tiles for now. Maybe someone here knows how to convert tilesets?
