> but the 'don't use cross contours thing' is just painting 101. like, "don't chicken scratch" is for drawing.

Cross contour strokes are a very common technique in digital paintings to give something a simple texture. It implies detail without muddying it up with texture brushes. Mullins made it extremely popular in digital art. It's contrary to the Sargent / Zorn / Sorolla school of economic brushwork but it's used traditionally quite often as well. The most famous traditional artist who makes use of this technique all the time would probably be Leyendecker. So saying "don't use cross contours" is a painting 101 is flat out wrong.
