same same... i feel less of that surrender to automation if i do know from the start i'll use an overlay with a specific glow in mind. or seeking effects like a paper texture jpg. but get that "this is a crutch" feeling when i'm applying a bunch of stuff as a quick transformation at the very end

LMAO no worries 👍

also it's hard to fit her into a sneak preview but it's so important to know that one of the main characters is Leka, a charismatic butch. please look forward to her

i've become aware that nowadays i kind of hate using layer modes that Aren't normal and Maybe the humble multiply. which is so crazy bc it's just a normal thing for everyone else. this is just a rule i made up.. but like you said.. the friction where i pick/mix all my colors manually gives me joy...

not really... i just drew her randomly hehe. but i do have other insecty girls like her so i might incorporate her into that story and name her.

but i know in part it's because ive never used it... meanwhile i'm nostalgic and fond of the very limiting nature of mspaint and oekaki i grew up with and how they push me... and even now i weirdly feel a part of me is has failed when i reach for gradient maps/layer effects for quick coloring. lmao

no yea this fascinates me indeed as a csp power user of 10 years who in that time developed so many of those shortcuts, auto-actions mapped to a single keystroke, a necessity of deadlines... when i look at vids of people having to manually navigate procreate's minimalist windows it feels nightmarish

she is so wonderful...

THANK YOU this scene makes me crazy... top 5 moments in the whole franchise maybe

nobody cared but this was a memory issue LOL because my .cmc file was too big. (it would also break my brushes sometimes) i fixed it just by not working with the .cmc file open.

mostly an issue only if you wanna export a batch with an attached .icc in CSP but you can easily batch process that in PS
