- [Who?](https://www.citrusexists.com/about.md) - Ehmn... Hello? What are you doing here? I didn't expect anyone to come to this place... Are you really that bored? Or are you just lost? Anyway, might as well greet you properly. Ekhm... WELCOME TO MY DOMAIN (sounds cool, right?). Here you can call me Citrus. Why Citrus? Citruses are colorful, bitt…
- [Contact](https://www.citrusexists.com/contact.md) - I have no clue why would you like to contact me, but I can you some ways (it's not like I would love to receive nice message from you or anything!) Email : citrusexists@gmail.com Twitter @CitrusExists
- [Pixel art](https://www.citrusexists.com/pixelart.md) - First of all, we need to clarify something. This IS NOT a guide, tutorial or any other type of place where someone who had mastered some ability is educating the masses how to acquire his skill. It's the polar opposite. I don't know anything about pixel art. To be honest, I'm competently talentless…

- [#92 Echoes](https://www.citrusexists.com/92-echoes.md) - Second of the three Sheeps. I don't really feel like yapping today, so lucky you, I guess. But you should expect another crashout or even a break... it's not going very well. But hey, I'm still here, I'm still trying, and I'm still writing those silly posts, hoping someday someone will get some ene…
- [#91 Snakes](https://www.citrusexists.com/91-snakes.md) - This post will contain much more yapping than pixels... because at some point I forgot to run my recording script... I'm just spectacular like that, I know. Why almost 2 weeks since the last one? HEAT. It was impossible to sit on the PC. Even after it ended, I didn't want to rush to make another po…
- [#90 Side of me](https://www.citrusexists.com/90-side-of-me.md) - Today, we take two steps back (I don't think we have made more than two steps foreward. We are not losing to much ground today, heh). This is my second pixel made on tablet. Somehow it was easier to sit and work there than on my pc, even if it's much harder. I would rather not promise anything, bec…
- [#89 Gone](https://www.citrusexists.com/89-gone.md) - 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 giant problem with overcomplicating designs on my pixels. I literaly try to…
- [#88 We're gonna be here for a while](https://www.citrusexists.com/88-were-gonna-be-here-for-a-while.md) - 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. I might shit on myself here a lot, but I'm normally, I'm difficul…
- [#87 Clarity](https://www.citrusexists.com/87-2.md) - 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 here. But I remembered literally yesterday's pixe…
- [# 86 Blow Up](https://www.citrusexists.com/86-blow-up.md) - 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 it. Resting is not wasting time. Another small, uneventful chibi. Like I said in the p…
- [#85 Explode](https://www.citrusexists.com/85-explode.md) - 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 of the Eggo training arc! I will do mostly her, in di…
- [#84 My Shot](https://www.citrusexists.com/84-my-shot.md) - 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 to do cute things, let me have this. This shot is here to sho…
- [#83 World turned upside down](https://www.citrusexists.com/83-world-turned-upside-down.md) - 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 and what I should be able to do that I had no strength to actually do anything. I…
- [#82 one by one](https://www.citrusexists.com/82-one-by-one.md) - 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't be ashamed, don't be afraid. Every mistake brings you closer to success…
- [#81 One Day or Day One](https://www.citrusexists.com/81-one-day-or-day-one.md) - "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. And fall... fall a lot. I hope it will motivate me to be better at the normal pixels too. I think it will be th…
- [#80 Deafening](https://www.citrusexists.com/80-deafening.md) - 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 have no idea what I should be doing. I love pixels. Really recently i…
- [#79 Castles](https://www.citrusexists.com/79-castles.md) - 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't control everything, and bad times d…
- [#78 Afraid to](https://www.citrusexists.com/78-afraid-to.md) - 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 energ…
- [#77 Dangerous](https://www.citrusexists.com/77-dangerous.md) - 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 TO MAKE SOMETHING SO REAL…
- [#76 Try for me](https://www.citrusexists.com/76-try-for-me.md) - 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 just came. It's not perfect or something outstanding, but it's here. Maybe i…
- [#75 bad luck](https://www.citrusexists.com/75-bad-luck.md) - 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 should stop trying. The second week was committed to the pixel you see…
- [#74 All the pain must go](https://www.citrusexists.com/74-all-the-pain-must-go.md) - 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 in mind post number 23 here. My first try t…
- [#73.2 The only way](https://www.citrusexists.com/73-2-the-only-way.md) - 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 first step was re…
- [#73.1 Endless](https://www.citrusexists.com/73-1-endless.md) - 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. I already achieved more than I could ever have imagined, and I still have plans for more! But…
- [#72 Can you see me](https://www.citrusexists.com/72-can-you-see-me.md) - 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, something was awfully odd. I felt empty, like t…
- [#71 Congratulations, You're in a Void!](https://www.citrusexists.com/71-congratulations-youre-in-a-void.md) - 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 tried to avoid repeating patterns,…
- [#70 Angels Calling](https://www.citrusexists.com/70-angels-calling.md) - 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, Citrus likes to do everything his o…
- [#69 It's my try](https://www.citrusexists.com/69-its-my-try.md) - This pixel is special. It's the first-ever piece I made entirely on my tablet with a pen. I wanted to start practicing it long ago, and I even tried... like a dozen times, but always stopped after a few lines. It's totally different from pixeling using the mouse. It's much easier to make long lines…
- [#68.2 Citrus and the Bat](https://www.citrusexists.com/68-2-citrus-and-the-bat.md) - I know I'm late again, but I really had to gather my mind on what I want to write. This pixel is so undercooked it's not even funny. I didn't have much time to work on it, so even just by peeking at it, I can find 7 different things that should have been done better and that I could do better right…
- [#68.1 Larger than fear](https://www.citrusexists.com/68-1-larger-than-fear.md) - I know, I know, I know, I'm late! But not because I was slacking off (ok, a little bit, but not only!). I just don't know how the calendar works... This post will be a weird one. As you can see, there is no art (I guess you can't ever "art" here, but you know what I mean). Instead, I want to talk a…
- [#67.2 Sold Out](https://www.citrusexists.com/67-2-sold-out.md) - Yea, some last-minute changes happen, and you can definitely see it. But I think it's ok, overall. I think it's my first time doing (almost) full body + background, and I really like it. They can really complement each other. I also have this weird feeling in me... like hope? Rather delusion, but s…
- [#67.1 Impossible](https://www.citrusexists.com/67-1-impossible.md) - Yes, it is absolutely impossible that the pixel above was made by me. Even with pose copied from another art. This is more than I even imagined working on. I guess I figured it out. The only thing that I needed to become better was listening to emo rock music... Seriously, how did it happen...? I s…
- [#66 Waste My Time](https://www.citrusexists.com/66-waste-my-time.md) - At this point, I hope that me showing up means anything. There isn't much more I can do. I really want to make something large, astonishing, and gorgeous for a person who deserves it. But it feels like it's absolutely impossible. Why is it that people who deserve a star for the skies end up with no…
- [#65 The Venom](https://www.citrusexists.com/65-the-venom.md) - This is a bare minimum post. I was so close to just giving up and making another "break". But I know how hard it is to come back. For the last week or so, I feel like I can't do anything. Like some invisible weight is put on my shoulders. Going to the kitchen to get something to drink suddenly beco…
- [#63.3 Try, Kid, Try](https://www.citrusexists.com/63-3-try-kid-try.md) - This is the last post of the cursor trilogy. The shortest one too, probably. We already have the base ready and animated, now the only thing left is adding all those silly variations. Most of the add-ons I used are pretty common. First, I'm lazy. Second, what type of cursor is showing has to be cle…
- [#64 No regrets](https://www.citrusexists.com/64-no-regrets.md) - Sorry for breaking the post order, there is one more about cursor incoming, but I really want my first pixel of the year to be Ide. So, new year, huh? I know I'm a little late, could have prepared something beforehand, but I don't really like the idea of scheduling the posts. Anyway, I can't believ…
- [#63.2 Black hole](https://www.citrusexists.com/63-2-black-hole.md) - I wonder if anyone will ever guess how I'm naming these posts. No yapping on this one, straight to business. Animating is just the art of placing small changes into the pixel. There is possibly some "correct" way of using the right amount of frames and giving them a certain length. As you probably…
- [#63.1 Treasure](https://www.citrusexists.com/63-1-treasure.md) - Ok, it wasn't an abandonment, it was straight-up hibernation. I was sleeping for 14-18 hours a day... I don't know why... it's normal, right? RIGHT??? After that, Christmas, and then I started working on this cursor, all days just on it... I'm sorry, I should really improve my work ethics... This i…
- [#62 Sunday Morning](https://www.citrusexists.com/62-sunday-morning.md) - Fun, chill, lazy. Learning doesn't always have to be hard. Just like life. This post is like this because I didn't want to make a week-long break but didn't really have the energy for some big study. Me and my friedos took a transporting job this Friday. We were transporting booze straight into our…
- [#61 Not waiting](https://www.citrusexists.com/61-not-waiting.md) - Ok, this was an experience... I felt like this in the early days when I was literally copying someone's work 1 to 1 (not that I'm much better now, I would say it changed to 1 to 3). Pixeling at an angle like this AND lying down? Full body? Poor Ide looks confused, and I'm a hundred times more. But…
- [#60 Last one trying](https://www.citrusexists.com/692dda29d1afd400010b919b.md) - This isn't an art post, btw: go away I was really discouraged today. I often see arts for people, so much better than whatever I'm capable of doing, no matter how I would try. Even more with captions like: "just a sketch" or "I'm only starting" Don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous or mad that there…
- [#59 I have learned something!](https://www.citrusexists.com/59-i-have-learned-something.md) - Even writing this post, I can't believe the picture at the top was made by me. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect, probably not even good, barely passable. But for me? I remember my first art of Ekko (check: pixel above), my 14th post here. I thought that was the peak of my abilities, that I will…
- [#58 Make it look](https://www.citrusexists.com/make-it-look.md) - Today, we are proud. I didn't feel like pixeling at all. I was absolutely sure this is going to be a catastrophe. But I sat down anyway and did what I could. And she turned out really nicely if I can say. I hope you don't struggle as much as I do, the chance that you are as lazy as me are really sl…
- [#57 Let it](https://www.citrusexists.com/57-let-it.md) - This one looks so silly that I'm not even sad, that it looks so terrible. The scuff is strong here. First, it was based on a sketch I made on my tablet. Good news: I remembered to record it! Bad news: the video got corrupted, and it shows basically nothing... of to a great start. So the "art" part…
- [#56 Is yet to come](https://www.citrusexists.com/is-yet-to-come.md) - Henlo! You didn't expect to see me so soon, didn't ya? The new face you see over the title is our new companion: Ide. She is here to help me with a giant, but silly problem. I don't have anyone to draw, who I don't love and respect. Whenever I why trying something new, I felt like I'm doing injusti…
- [#55 Odd one](https://www.citrusexists.com/55-odd-one.md) - No promises this time. Citrus is a weak hypothesis, after all. This one is unfinished, not that my completed works look any better. I don't think I will finish it. I thought I had an idea, but it wasn't the best... tale of my life, I guess. It's hard to think about something comforting, when you ar…
- [#54.2 Go](https://www.citrusexists.com/54-2-go.md) - At least the vision of this project were never more potent. If my pathetic ass can get up and try, you definitely can too. I wondered if I even should make a post so fast and short, but who cares. I told myself at the start that there will be no editing this site. If I make a mistake, or do somethi…
- [#54.1 Letdown (warning, harsh post)](https://www.citrusexists.com/54-1-letdown-warning-harsh-post.md) - Words can not describe how much I hate myself. What? You expected something nicer? Something full of hope? Not for me, there is no hope for me. I hate how easily distracted I am. How lazy, how inconstant. There are people not knowing if tomorrow they will see the sun and are still making more than…
- [#53.2 How much is the fox](https://www.citrusexists.com/53-2-how-much-is-the-fox.md) - Well, that was something... Those "big" (ok, I know it wasn't THAT BIG, but let me have this one please...) not only take much more time, but also completely destroy my writing schedule (hey, I heard that laugh, I really try to keep one!) I'm sorry if this post is going to be a little "quiet", I'm…
- [#53.1 Small and silly](https://www.citrusexists.com/53-1-small-and-silly.md) - This was supposed to be another doom post with typical whining, but this little piece brought me so much joy that I just can't stop smiling. So yea, this is my first "project", I think giving them numbers in this pattern has the most sense, but everyone will have a different title. I still don't kn…
- [#52 Something ever happens](https://www.citrusexists.com/52-a-ne.md) - Heyoooo, happy post here! I feel like we didn't have one like this in a long time. So, I can't believe it, but we are really here. I reached my goal, I redeemed myself, I became better... maybe my goal wasn't very hard to reach, my mistake trivial, and I'm still awful, but we take those. So, is thi…
- [#51 Brand-new eye](https://www.citrusexists.com/51-brand-new-eye.md) - It's late evening, but who cares. Ello: I promised an art related post, and here I deliver. I was so focused on making something normal and not pressuring myself, that accidentally I made my biggest and most detailed art yet, that took over 3 and a half hours. So no yapping on this one, we get stra…
- [#50 What a life](https://www.citrusexists.com/68acdc5467b0480001bb9005.md) - Well, this is not what I planned. This almost 2 month break, this art, this life. Like I said in my previous post, I wanted my 50th post to be something BIG. Bigger than anything I have done before. But working on that project was so hard, I just could not get myself to do it. I felt so much pressu…
- [#49 One year later](https://www.citrusexists.com/49-one-year-later.md) - The title is a blunt lie, but I don't care. Art does not have to be truthful. It's a really special post, an incredibly long and painful break combined with the biggest success. You see... I made it. I reached my goal. Right now, I'm working on my biggest, most detailed and probably the best art ye…
- [#48 Limits](https://www.citrusexists.com/48-limits.md) - I know I promised a more art related post, but I could barely force myself to do this. I'm sorry, I know, I don't deliver. And I know it will only get worse in the nearest future. Life. Some people have strength to push through any adversity, endure any pain, defeat every enemy. I'm not one of them…
- [#47 Yourself](https://www.citrusexists.com/6865511a859b2e0001835f79.md) - I have to solidarily warn you. This isn't art focused post, next one is going to be I promise. If you ask me: "Citrus, what the hell is this"... I have to admit that your guess is as good as mine. I often feel like I'm not experimenting enough, that I should have more freedom in my pixels. Well, th…
- [#46 Right place](https://www.citrusexists.com/46-right-place.md) - 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 ho…
- [#45 A galaxy full of possibilities (and things to do)](https://www.citrusexists.com/45-a-galaxy-full-of-possibilities-and-things-to-do.md) - Yea, this one is even shittier than usually. And yet, I have no idea why. Maybe the colors are clashing? Maybe there is too little of them? Or too much? I guess that is why we try and learn. Hopefully. I tied to use the outwards to inwards approach. Made the big dark ball and started adding things…
- [#44 Dress yourself!](https://www.citrusexists.com/44-dress-yourself.md) - I wonder if this pun will actually work, but anyway. Hallo! (This is not a typo, I intended to say exactly this). Today is the first post of learning how to pixel cloths. My list of things I have to practice is big enough to cause deforestation if anyone would try to print it. The process is quite…
- [#43 Don't worry, be cookie](https://www.citrusexists.com/43-dont-worry-be-cookie.md) - Positive post right here. The "I'm not doing enough" thought is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you will constantly worry about it, you will never be able to rest and regenerate your strength. And because of that, you will actually underperform. What will of course lead to more "I'm not doing enough…
- [#42 Nice to Eat You](https://www.citrusexists.com/42-nice-to-eat-you.md) - Lately, I have so much to do. Well, that's a lie. I have to do only one thing, but it takes so much time and I don't want to do it so much... The constant pressure, the Damocles sword, it makes me crazy. I'm so tired of the stress that I waste most time in which I could work on it. It's important t…
- [#41 Ice in the hole](https://www.citrusexists.com/41-ice-in-the-hole.md) - Hi. It's been a rough week for some, for others a rough month or even a rough year. You might be one of those people, you might even not see it. But no matter how much of a failure it has been, remember that you also deserve to be happy. Never stop trying to reach that. Another ice practice, yey! E…
- [#40 Don't cry little one (it's going to get worse)](https://www.citrusexists.com/40-dont-cry-little-one-its-going-to-get-worse.md) - Hi! Today was a great day! I picked up my ass and got to work. Work on something new, scary and unpredictable. And to be honest, it was fun. This is my first 256x256 canvas drawing. With that many pixels, it's hard to fill the blank space, but on the other hard the drawing is limited only by my ski…
- [# 39 No need to be afraid (they don't bite)](https://www.citrusexists.com/39-no-need-to-be-afraid-they-dont-bite.md) - This is going to be a very sappy post, sorry. I feel like I'm not doing enough. Never. Yesterday, someone saw my art and said that it's great, that he also learns and hope to make something like this one day. It shocked me so hard. I was on the opposite end so many times, that it became natural for…
- [# 38 Head full of thoughts](https://www.citrusexists.com/38-head-full-of-thoughts.md) - Hallo! I have only one thing to say today. Support others and get supported by them. We are all different, but we shouldn't all to strive to become the same. We all have particular skills or interests, and that's great. Share your strong sides with others, but also let them cover your weak spots. T…
- [#37 A chilly reception](https://www.citrusexists.com/67fc29e5790f450001aa4e98.md) - You know what? I'm hecking proud of myself. I wasn't filling like pixeling today, but I sit down and done it. Not only that, but also I chose something I'm especially bad at, to train. So today is the success day, even if the art isn't so great. This is my first part of the "ice and other transpare…
- [#36 Have a strength to pull out this sword from the stone.](https://www.citrusexists.com/36-have-a-strength-to-pull-out-this-sword-from-the-stone.md) - Wow, I produce a lot of shit lately. This was my attempt to work on backgrounds. I rarely make any, so I'm absolutely awful at them. I have so many aspects of arts to work on. It kinda excites me. I should be demotivated and overwhelmed, but I'm chilling. It's like with being surrounded by enemies,…
- [#35 What's one more try?](https://www.citrusexists.com/35-whats-one-more-try.md) - This is my another try on the chibi style. It's better than the previous one, but still not as good as I would like. But I'm not going to complain. I'm still learning, so not everything I make have to be perfect. Next one is going to be better. Also, I didn't feel like pixeling today at all. To be…
- [#34 Chill a little](https://www.citrusexists.com/34-chill-a-little.md) - Welcome, today is a time for a low energy post. If there is one thing that we are not told during our lives, it is how to rest. Working is important, but you can not do it 24/7. You deserve a break. Your health and good wellbeing is important. Don't feel embarrassed that you need to rest. Whenever…
- [#33 The future](https://www.citrusexists.com/33-the-future.md) - First of all, yea, I'm aware that you can't see the tail on the white background. Will I do anything about it? No. Now, when we have the less important things (like the art quality) out of the way. It's my first time (not actually, but first official, intentional time) re-drawing one of my arts. Th…
- [#32 There is magic in everyone](https://www.citrusexists.com/32-2.md) - Hi! It's me again! Did you expect somebody else? Well, that sucks... it's only me. Another day, another practice. This is just a silly thing that came to my mind, I absolutely adore this minimalistic style. It looks easy to make, but you have to make every pixel count! I guess I should some wisdom…
- [#31 Polish what you have](https://www.citrusexists.com/31-2.md) - This is just a silly post. Just because I felt like pixeling. Some time ago I realized that often I stop myself from working on this project. I think the reason for this is my how my past projects ended. They were often short bursts of excitement. I was working non-stop for a 3–5 days and then neve…
- [#30 To reach the sky](https://www.citrusexists.com/30-2.md) - Yea, I took my time. So many things happened, so many thoughts have crossed my mind. The very first thing I have to share is... that I did it. My present was not only seen, but liked and EVEN USED. To be honest, when I saw that, I almost passed out. I could not believe it. All of my work, gave frui…
- [#29 Just wow](https://www.citrusexists.com/29-2.md) - I'm not a humble person. This is probably my best work so far. As you can most likely see from my posts, I'm not feeling the best right now. Getting started on this one was so difficult: I took me like 6 tries. And I was absolutely sure that this one will end up terrible. My mental was awful. But t…
- [#28 The most important](https://www.citrusexists.com/28-the-most-important.md) - After the last post, I had to think this through. So this is more of a talk than pixel art post. Firstly, I had to reconsider why am I doing all of it. I know what was the spark that ignited the flame, but what is the fuel? I was wondering if I just wanted to learn something, because everyone else…
- [#27 Just bad](https://www.citrusexists.com/27-just-bad.md) - I really don't want to write this one. The art is bad, and the story behind is even worse. I failed on so many things, it's not even funny. First of all, this was supposed to be my first even "two day" art. That's why there was no post during the week. I wanted to make something big, something poli…
- [#26 A deal with a devil, would be a shortcut, but we don't need them here.](https://www.citrusexists.com/26-a-deal-with-a-devil-would-be-a-shortcut-but-we-dont-need-them-here.md) - Today was all about breaking my limits. This piece has an "open composition", have a view from above (kinda) and took me almost two hours of pure work, not counting the projecting and looking for materials to work with. It's another of my many flaws, I am not patient or persistent at all. After wor…
- [#25 The first ladybug of a summer... the iron one will also do](https://www.citrusexists.com/25-2.md) - Sorry, but as I said in the title, today was the first warm day of this year. So I could finally cultivate my favorite activity: getting lost in the forests. I lost track of time and ended up walking for over 3 hours... when I was supposed to pixel for you. This is my advice for today, going outsid…
- [#24 Sweet like a jelly, weird like the Citrus](https://www.citrusexists.com/24-2.md) - I'm not going to admit that I'm late. That way, the democratic consensus will negate the fact that it's Monday today. Democracy means: one man, one voice. I'm the only man here, and I'm definitely the only one with the voice. This piece is a poor copy of the work of an artist I'm in contact with. H…
- [#23 A little killer to get rid of your doubt (not for free of course)](https://www.citrusexists.com/23-little-killer-to-2.md) - Straight to the point. Improvise! Have a plan, but if it stops you from acting, it's better to just go with the flow. You will not be prepared for 95% of important things in your life, get used to it. Sometimes it works like on war, it does not matter right or left, you have to move. The one thing…
- [#22 Spiky letdown/hard to kill](https://www.citrusexists.com/22-spiky-letdown-hard-to-kill.md) - I'm not gonna lie to you. Two tittles is the only interesting thing in this one. I had such a great idea for an art. It would be cool, epic and immersive. It would be the pinnacle of my abilities as today. After over 2 hours of tries, starting over, rearranging, frustration and anger, I could not d…
- [#21 Have some fun](https://www.citrusexists.com/21-have-some-fun.md) - Exactly what is in the title. Today is a fun day, no new technics, no insane sacrifices. Just a silly little pixel to celebrate my journey. You also need to relax. Enjoy your progress, no matter how small it seems, do something that will make you happy, because you deserve it. I wanted to draw a cr…
- [#20 Dark and a little darker](https://www.citrusexists.com/20-dark-and-a-little-darker.md) - Wow, twentieth post?? And I'm still here? I do not think I have ever been dedicated to one anything for so long. From this special occasion, I want to thank you, for going all of this. I bet it was not easy, probably harder than for me. I hope whatever you are doing, you also do not stop pushing fo…
- [#19 Not very impressed (he should be)](https://www.citrusexists.com/19-not-very-impressed-he-should-be.md) - Heyooooo! I have only one thing to say today (I still need some more time to think about the next BIG topic). My art was used on stream. Someone really chose it to represent part of their content. One small act, but it means more than a milion words. Still working on humans. This time I was using o…
- [#18 The fights continue, we'll need an armor (thank God I had one in the basement)](https://www.citrusexists.com/the-fights-continue-well-need-an-armor-thank-god-i-had-one-in-the-basement.md) - I know, wow Citrus, so many arts in such a short time. You are such a great writer who cares about your audience. To be honest, I told my self that I will TRY to make two pixels a week instead of one. But it hit me, it's such a terrible way of thinking. This implies that every moment I can just sto…
- [#17 Hope, excitement and... cookies?](https://www.citrusexists.com/17-2.md) - Halloooo! I'm not late this time (well, if we count that week start on Sunday, I am, but let's ignore that). No big talk this time, I feel like I was abusing your inability to talk too much lately. Just have hope and look for miracles. Necessarily both at the same time, they only work together. If…
- [#16 Simple, yet fun](https://www.citrusexists.com/16-simple-yet-fun.md) - I KNOW, I'M LATE! I'M SORRY, I DO NOT PLAN TO DISAPPEAR AGAIN, I SWEAR! I'm currently during exams, so tired all the time, that's why I was late. Also, quality of the post and the art might be even lower than normally, readers discretion advised. It's soooooo hard to do anything when you just want…
- [#15 She is watching you... to keep you motivated](https://www.citrusexists.com/15-2.md) - That was a such rollercoaster week for me. Firstly, one of my friends got into pixel art a little. Surely she would struggle and create awful things like me at the start, right? Wrong!!! She is amazing, making incredibly looking animations on her first try. I'm proud of her, but also jealous a litt…
- [#14 Let's test if I have learned anything...](https://www.citrusexists.com/14-lets-test-if-i-have-learned-anything.md) - Spoiler: YES! I really can't believe that. I was noticing small improvements, but it's the first time I look at my creation and can say "WOW, I could never make something like this before". In case you did not notice (somehow), I'm always full of doubts. Do I really make progress? Do I try hard eno…
- [#13 Jump around](https://www.citrusexists.com/13-jump-around.md) - Heyoooo! It's me again. Expected someone else? Maybe one day I'll let someone else write one of those posts, but I do not know if that will be able to match MY level. I'm way too unique. And you also are! It's awesome, you can't meet two people that are the same. Everyone has their positive and neg…
- [#12 Small creature on a small day](https://www.citrusexists.com/12-small-creature-on-a-small-day.md) - Hi. Today is one of these days, I can't do shit. It's not like I can do amazing things normally, but today is even worse than normally. But I really love writing for you and whole premise is to show good and bad days. Here it comes. As you can see, it's in 64x64 grid instead of 128x128. As I said e…
- [#11 The long and cold sleep](https://www.citrusexists.com/11-the-long-and-cold-sleep.md) - Brace yourself, this one is long. Hi! How are you? It's our first Christmas together. We probably should exchange wishes, shouldn't we? If we have to, I wish you joy and understanding. Joy of the amazing journey, and understanding that sometimes to make it even more amazing you need to stop feeling…
- [# 10 May be not the brightest, but warm and cosy campfire](https://www.citrusexists.com/10-may-be-not-the-brightest-but-warm-and-cosy-campfire-2.md) - Hi! I did not disappear this time. I count it as a progress and expect a praise... c'mon. This week it was my first try to speed-draw. The set time was 30 mins so it's a little lest polished than my other works... you won't probably see a difference, it's as bad as all others. Also, I think this is…
- [#9 Weirdly hopeful capybara](https://www.citrusexists.com/9-weirdly-hopeful-capybara.md) - Well... I'm sorry? I went missing for so long. Some part of me wish I could say that something terrible happened: that both of my arms broke, or I miraculously survived an assassination attempt from a person whose son lost sight because of my terrible art. But I have to be honest, I am lazy, disorg…
- [A Little update](https://www.citrusexists.com/a-little-update.md) - Wow, we didn't see each other in so long, huh? Over a month? Man, I really am a terrible writer to leave you for so long... I'm incredibly sorry. No excuses. I'm just incredibly lazy, and the smallest problem takes me so much time to solve. But here I am again! No talk on this one, next drawing is…
- [#8 Little lizard, giant hope](https://www.citrusexists.com/8-little-lizard-giant-hope-2.md) - Hello! I'm so happy that you are here! Why? No reason, do I need one? If I can be mad without any cause, I can also be happy. That also applies to you. This word is a cruel and unforgiving place. But you can change it... with a smile! Anyway, this one was made for my friend that is planning to star…
- [#7 We got a long climb before us (and that's good)](https://www.citrusexists.com/7-we-got-a-long-climb-before-us-and-thats-good.md) - You know what really makes me stop enjoying doing all of this? Other people. Solution? I just have to eliminate every single one of them. Problem solved and everyone (me, there is literary no one else left) is happy. But really, whenever I see someone's work with a title like "oh just a quick draw…
- [#??? The Gallery Of Mistakes](https://www.citrusexists.com/gallery-of-mistakes.md) - I almost made a terrible, well... mistake of naming this post "The gallery of shame". But it's very important to remember that blunders are not only natural and inevitable, but also desirable! You can not learn if you don't make any mistakes. Quoting someone much smarter than me: "You mostly failed…
- [#6 Torch see a better day](https://www.citrusexists.com/6-torch-see-a-better-day.md) - I don't know to say. Just be nice to each other. You don't know what someone is going through. Warning: this one is going awful. I just don't have the strength to try harder. Sorry. If you also have a bad day, don't give up, ok? Sometimes it's the only thing we can do. That's enough, I'm still prou…
- [#5 Hard rock](https://www.citrusexists.com/5-hard-rock.md) - Hi. You have no idea how close we were to never seeing each other again. This one was so extremely hard to do. Not because drawing was hard, but because I could not find any strength to start. Every try seemed pathetic to me. Maybe I liked my previous one so much (the blue fox, you don't have to ch…
- [#4 Fox that looks into the future](https://www.citrusexists.com/4-fox-that-looks-into-future.md) - This one was made to celebrate something and also test my skills. It took a long time and had many retries, but I promised to show everything, so here we go. I wanted to draw a blue fox made of jelly. Head is going to move a lot because my vision as clear as lungs of someone who was smoking for 30…
- [#3 Even the biggest schools are made of small fish](https://www.citrusexists.com/3-even-the-biggest-schools-are-made-of-small-fish.md) - To be honest. I feel good. It's weirdly satisfying to have a project like this to work on. It might not be world-changing, one for a lifetime thing, but I'm happy that I'm doing it. If you don't feel good right now, try not stressing about it too much (yea, I know it's not that simple but at least…
- [#2 One little step at the time](https://www.citrusexists.com/2.md) - Welcome again. I'm extremely surprised that you are still here after that awful lemon of mine, but I appreciate that. Today, I followed my own advice and have drowned random thing from my sounding. Behold: Xbox controller from my desk. It was really hard to get to work, I was tired and discouraged…
- [#1 The First Lemon](https://www.citrusexists.com/the-first-lemon.md) - Dramatic title? Check! Terrible drawing? Check! All right, I think I'm ready. So this is my first pixel art ever. It took me so much time to decide what am I going to create (or at least try). Finally, I decided oooooon drums... whatever! I don't think there is something you should start on. Just p…
- [The Beginning](https://www.citrusexists.com/the-beginning.md) - So, here it begins, huh? To be honest, I thought about abandoning this whole thing so many times. I'm terrible, nobody will like it, what if my family or friends find out? If you are also afraid of starting something, don't worry, everybody is. Or at least me, that makes two of us. So, what gave me…
