I took my sweet time with this one. It was supposed to be just another training, but I have never been a patient person. The idea was so cute that I just had to give my all on it. Too bad my all is still so little. I have a

First time someone I don't know actually visits this place, and I disappear for 3 weeks. Great job, Citrus... What happened? I tried to make more Eggo, had like 4 tries, and they all went so bad that I just gave up. I don't know why.

Today's lesson is... nothing. Not every time you need to have some grand revelation. It's just another try, not completely bad, but not the best. And they are also needed. I totally didn't forget to start the recording script... "Almost drop" moment

I don't have much to say today. I needed some time to rest, so I didn't even try to pixel anything on the weekend. And that's ok. We are not indestructible: we need to sleep, rest, wind down. Don't feel bad about
PixelArt
Look! Someone familiar and yet different... Since Bat got her new form, I want to do something. I don't know if other people can just look at someone's design and make great-looking art, but her design is soooo complicated. So it's the beginning
PixelArt
Look at my happy baby! So colorful, so happy. I had so much fun doing this one. Zero restraints, random colors, no care in the world. Maybe quality isn't the best, and it's definitely more simplistic, but man, it's cute. I was never able

I don't know how to start this post, so we will begin with a quote: "You are the only person that can get lost in the forest and find a beer" For the last few months I have been thinking about what I should have done
PixelArt
Instead of crying that I can't draw full characters, I just have to try. I have been here, I know how to start from zero. We start at the bottom, some deeper, some closer to the goal. But the only way is to try. And fail. Don'

"Citrus, you can't make decent-looking pixel, why the hell are you starting to animate" I don't know, ok? That's what I am. When I don't know how to walk, I run. When I can't jump, I fly.
If I can do something YOU can do anything
Something is really wrong, and somehow I can't point out what. Oh, you thought I was talking about the pixel? No, that's easy, I know exactly what's missing. Skill. I just feel like, in general, I'm not doing what I should. But
I post this today, hoping that I will be able to do something better tomorrow. Recently I feel like this site is the only thing stopping me from abandoning this whole thing. The solid proof that sometimes it's really just worse and sometimes better. That we can'
This hairstyle... hits too close to home... it still hurts This one is almost an exact copy of Qings works. His skills in making expressive and multidimensional characters using so few colors are insane. For the past few days I tried, so many times, to do something. Anything. But I
I'M SORRY, IDE, FOR FORGETTING YOUR STRIPES. HOW CAN I FORGET A MAJOR PART OF THE CHARACTER I DESIGNED? WAAAAAA It was my first time ever even attempting a profile like that. Two years ago I would immediately dismiss an idea as completely unrealistic and crazy! ME?? TRYING
I just came back home and wanted to pixel Ide. Normally I have to force myself to sit down and work. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's rarely easy nonetheless. I told you hundreds of times how lazy I am. But this one
I know, I'm terribly late, over 2 weeks. I'm sorry. During the first one, I was hiding. Mostly from myself. There are times when you would rather be someone else... or not be entirely. I'm just like that, but it does not mean I
Before any yapping, I was asked to show this glorious and insanely detailed project I had for this pixel. I know, I know. Basically ready to ship. But now, seriously, I can't stop smiling looking at this piece. Not because it's perfect, but because I have
Well, a lot has changed. I couldn't sleep last night thinking how to make this one work. At some point I thought about different Ide pixel, without any outlines, just colors. This style suits her, I think. A lot of interchanging colors, smooth connections, and bright contrasts. My
It's one of those days it would be so much easier to just stop, give up. I feel like I'm not doing any good. It would be so much easier to just not continue. I know it's just my mind playing tricks on me.
This break was uncalled for. First I got sick and spent the whole weekend in bed, ok that happens. But later I got super anxious about what I'm supposed to pixel. In the end, even my recording script broke... I wanted to Ide, but every time I started,
This post will be a little weird... the script I use to capture the pixeling process broke... So instead of a step-by-step, I will make it a more general (and much shorter) one. A bit of mandatory useless yapping. I tried to incorporate lessons from the course. I
After doing pixels for around 1.5 years, maybe it's finally time to learn how you should actually do it. I stumbled across the course by Downvote, the guy who makes the most beautiful pixel animations I have ever seen. My feelings are somewhat mixed. On one hand,
