My friend in Chicago said my art was 'too clean' and it clicked
I was showing him a new piece I made in Procreate, a detailed portrait, and he pointed out how every line was perfect but felt stiff. He told me, 'Try a brush that smudges on purpose, like Kyle's Gouache pack, and leave some sketch lines in.' I've been trying to make everything polished for so long, but maybe showing the process makes it more real? Has anyone else had a moment where a messy or rough style actually worked better?

Isn't that true for most things, though?
