Digital Artist / I mostly post works in progress here, and I like to draw both realism and anime. Your follow really helps! Thanks! ^^ https://vgen.co/shiningmonster https://linktr.ee/shiningmonster

you know, when I still cared about follower count and shit back on twitter, I remember seeing an article with 'tips' for a successful art account. It said to never retweet other artists, only bump art once a month, only follow 'good' artists, so on, so forth. I tried doing that for months...

I just had an epiphany with the smudge tool in Photoshop while trying out this exercise from Kana-chan's painting course (a Chinese artist - kana_bgyjs in Twitter -) on the fabric section. I feel very happy with this (extra textures courtesy of nightshade). ☠️🖍️

GenAI is for guys who don't know how to think or learn and are gonna make it everyone else's problem. Which is why it appeals so very much to the exact people who have *always* done this: billionaires and executives
