First I set up a canvas size - I use an odd number because I like a center pixel line for the character art I do. This canvas is 103px by 103px. Do whatever size works for your art. I turn on a drawing guide and edit the guide lines to be 1px. I make sure the guide is properly lined up.

The drawing guide is optional... it's not there to lock pixels into place just as a visual grid guide. I often turn it off because I prefer less visual clutter. It still places 1 pixel at a time since that's the size of the canvas/brush.
Just have fun! This thread is a hot mess 😂
When I was googling this last week I read someone said they screenshot their artwork to share because of the way Procreate scales pixel art 😱 your approach is way better!!
