I guess I forgot to post this one. This is the last of the pieces I did for Paizo's Pathfinder Tales. This one was SUPER rushed. Like... really really rushed. I probably didn't post it because I wasn't happy with it. Looking back at it now with fresh eyes I actually like it. It could use a good "once over" but over all for the time I spent on it, I'd say it was a success
Hah, seems like it is exactly the opposite for me, I'm not very efficient with strokes, I still tend to draw with brushes more than paint, but only when I have more time I actually think about brush strokes instead of just hatching away at it
My buddy had the same problem for years! He always felt he was just drawing with the paint brush. But eventually it clicked, and it clicked BIG! It'll come for sure. Just make it a priority any time you start working on a piece. It's easy to just let things go but the best way to make something like that happen is to actively make a conscious effort. (I should be taking my own advice )
