1: It can be extremely difficult!
2: it involves lots of weaving in ends.
3: try using a pixel grid to follow that

Ooh i love tapestry !!!
I recommend instead of searching for tapestry crochet patterns go onto pintrest and search alpha chart this will come up with loads of options and they normally have less colours then pixel art
Make sure to un tangle your ends as you go its no the most fun thing but its way better then letting them get really tangled and haveing to spent an hour untangleing them
I dont like to carry my yarn as i go as you can still see the yarn you are carrying so i recommend learning how to float
Good luck

I think it a term in crochet,i do it in my knitting but it might be called something else, its basically if say in your pattern you have to do 2 sc in blue 30 sc in pink, 2 sc in blue, if you dont carry your yarn you will get a really long loop at the back with will look quite messy. So what you might do is 2sc in blue, 5 sc in pink then do a stich like how you do when you carry your yarn but only do it for one stich, this way the loops at the back are smaller and neater.
Again i might be wrong but this is what i do over long stretchs of one colour

Ok if you want to get strait edges the when your at the stitch before the last one of the row,skip the last stitch and go into like the little bump after that!(i might put a pic latter cuz im not very good at explaining)
