#46 Right place

Ehhhhh…

Writing these comeback posts are like coming to your mum at 10 pm to tell her, that you need a cress for school, for tomorrow…

So, well, yea I failed miserably. There weren't supposed to be any more breaks.

It was such an eventful month for me. I'm still dealing with some problems, but I hope, I can come back to pixel art.

I really missed it, you know? Every day. It wasn't only feeling of disappointment or failure. I truly wanted to practice more. For myself.

I think it means… I love it? No matter, how hard it was, I was still thinking about it.

Or I'm just crazy… I don't really know now.

Anyway, as I said, a lot happened. Some bad things… mostly bad things. But also some good, even amazing… with bad inside them…

I guess that's how life works, but I will talk about it in next posts.

But I'm back… still broken, shaking a little, with more issues ahead… but that's ok. More than ok, you don't have to be perfect, you never will if I have to be honest. Pushing through problems is what makes you, you. And you are good enough.

Today's art have a really strange story. For short, it was made for use. For someone who is doing her best. But just could not cover everything herself. I'm not the right person to do such things… you could find a better artist by asking random homeless on the street. But only I was there. So I could try my best, or leave. I was left too many times. I also left people that needed me. The second one is much worse.

So I tried, did my best. And it kinda worked? It's not great, but usable for now. Maybe, it's better than if no one have tried.

I was using many tool for the first time, like this blue line at the middle. It's a symmetry tool. Not really useful for real pixels, but perfect for icons like this.

I didn't really have a plan or idea what to draw. I knew only one clue… bucket.

I cannot stop smiling when I look at this part. Probably, you hear this from me in every post, but this moment is just beautiful. Full of possibilities, everything can happen now.

Lack of plan resulted in many changes, but that's ok. I have an instinct to never change things I work on. Another thing to work on.

A little experiment with the wood patter.

Sometimes less is more. Simple patterns, that are spread across the drawing are less visible to the eye, but still get the job done, and let the brain look at the whole picture easier.

Sometimes, you are the best person, just because you are there. In a situation like this, you can either drop it, comeback to being irrelevant. Or do your best. Maybe not succeed, but fight.

Thank you for reading it all. I hope it will reach someone in hard situation (very nice thing to say, good job Citrus).

If you need to hear this, you can do this. No matter how hard it is, how little you feel you are doing. How long the break was. Try once again. Only that matters.
