I used to be very slow to finish to, but I have slowly begun to pixel faster.

Several things I've experienced:

Perhaps you should try to split the canvas into many different sections so you are not overwhelmed by how vast it is in its entirety (if you're making a large image.)

Another problem that would trip me up is getting stuck going down a path that ends up not fitting what I want. But I've already worked on it so much I feel I can't just scrap it and start again. My advice is JUST SCRAP IT AND START OVER if you are truly dissatisfied with the direction it is heading. Then you won't waste even more hours before you finally do decide to try something else or give up.

I have for many years browsed there forums, since 2006, I have looked every day for new posts and so on (I don't have the time anymore, but I used to every single day) That way you start to have a picture in your mind's eye about what looks good and why and what works and doesn't, based on the critiques and comments from the pros.

But, in general just keep fighting it and you'll learn more and speed up.

Okay, hopefully we can just leave it there.

Btw I commend you guys on not striking me or banning me for stating my unpopular views. I love this site and I love pixel art. I respect all of you enormously as artists and I've learned a lot from you through the 6 or so years I've browsed here.

I can't keep hopping onto the computer to defend myself so I will just try to let this be and work on other things. If anyone replies to me with arguments or attacks, I will respond if I have to but begrudgingly. 

Okay, I will answer you.

I said you were asserting a genetic link between being black and poor chess playing ability and by extension intelligence or logical thinking.

And that is wrong. I am asserting there is a genetic link between being black and having lower intelligence and by extension the best black players being worse than the best white players.

To say that there hasn't been a black world chess champion and then imply that this significantly has something to do with race is almost certainly an underinformed [sic] stance.

Here it is again. I am not saying there hasn't been a black world chess champion so this significantly has something to do with race. I am saying there is a different in average intelligence so this by extension can explain their chess results.

It's not a good idea to try to draw conclusions about genetics from either of those lists, exactly because they are populated by such small numbers of people (small sample size).

I agree. That's why I didn't draw conclusions from either of those lists.

However, there are black grandmasters. This is extremely important because it very neatly discredits your point.

Do you see yet that it does not discredit my point?

You're obviously trying in some way, however roughly or broadly, to link being black with poor chess playing ability (and by extension, presumably intelligence or logical thinking ability or something generic like that), but at a glance the evidence doesn't appear to support what you're suggesting.

It must not be that obvious, or you would not have gotten it wrong so many times.

I am going to answer that I have looked at the data, and I am not a racist. You have not looked at enough data and blindly jump to your egalitarian views. End.
