Itch.io has cheap and even free tilesets you can get. You can find 8-bit style ones pretty easily. They aren't usually designed for NESmaker or with actual NES color constraints, so quite often you'll have to do a little conversion... remap colors to NES colors, and sometimes reduce number of colors used per tile.

Unfortunately, unless you find a tileset offered on this forum, any tileset will need some conversion. Look for 8x8 or 16x16 tilesets, and low color. They'll need less work to convert. Weirdly enough if you find a good gameboy style tileset they work well, they usually stick to the 4 color restriction better, gameboy uses a similar tile setup to the NES, but one with only 1 color palette. After converting you don't have to keep the yellowish-green colors.

You can try here https://itch.io/game-assets/free/tag-nes .

Try setting up all four palettes very similarly . What i mean is.....
Make color 1 the outline color in all 4 palettes.
Make color 2 make the main color in all 4 palettes.
And so on...

Then Just use the the bucket tools or yeah, edit them by hand.
Truly its best to make your own from scratch, or just "visually" copy someones free asset if editing by hand .
This way you are drawing it in RGB so theres no need to painstakingly convert.
