i try to. but im always apparent of their flaws and my need to improve them to make them look better

just like real life

nobody ever comments on my work, i think because its either boring, not very good or both, but i like painting thicc so im conflicted over whether i give a fuck

you should always paint wht you like to paint over what others like to see but still. having 40 followers doesnt feel good by any stretch

put down a mass of colour, sketch over it like a fucking retard, block out shadows with 30 opacity and 30 flow, add white highlights, add details with opacity 30 black smooth out gradients, multiply/colour layer over the top and colour with whatever the fuck colour, flatten image, liquify features into place, after effects like gradients, curves and levels then im done

on the one hand i want to get to a WLOP or Sakimichan level of rendering but at the same time i want to develop the style i have now
