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 don't have energy for anything. I was sleeping most of the days. I wasn't tired, just... empty.

I feel like I wasted all this time when I should be getting better in pixels. And it makes me feel even worse, because I know the time is limited... and I still waste most of it...

I had started different pixels so many times that I only remembered to turn on the snapshots here.

There won't be much to learn from this one, because the process was very unnatural.

The shape was basically ready, so I was just copying it. Almost like the old days.

Sometimes I feel like I haven't learned anything, that I'm just better at copying.

The amount of work this few shadows do is incredible. Just look at the two on top. Two small lines of a little darker color, and it sets up the angle and the head shape.

Here, I wanted to change something and give Ide a hoodie, but apparently I have no idea what hoodies look like.

Not good, but I don't have more gas in me.

At least Ide got a little different hairstyle. She looks charming like this. Even if I feel like shit, looking at her always makes me crack a little smile.

Ok, that's enough. See you, and thank you for being.
