Just realized that texture pack advice was way off for my character art
Some guy on a Discord server told me to use a heavy oil brush overlay for all my digital paintings. I spent 3 days following his lead on this dragon piece and it came out muddy and gross. Finally tried using a simple flat brush with low opacity like I used to do in Procreate. The difference was night and day, the scales actually popped after that switch. Anyone else get burned by following bad texture tips from random people online?

Did you try fixing it with a layer mask on top of the muddy stuff or did you just scrap it and start over?

Totally agree with you @jamieburns, I tried a layer mask on a muddy mess once and it just made it worse honestly. Ended up starting over from scratch and that new version came out way cleaner than anything I could have saved. You ever just hit that point where you know no amount of tweaking is gonna fix the foundation?
