How does one paint digitally? I feel stuck. For one, there is techniques (See image). I feel like whatever I do, things end up being streaky. What kind of magic does everyone else use? I'm using Krita, if that matters.
For the second part, there is general mindset. I feel like I just can't let go of drawing lines, no matter what I try. It feels like I cant get any details when trying to paint, everything feels to general and blobby. Do you start with a lined sketch in that case? But then my dilemma is, when you paint over the sketch you also paint over the details you were planning and you end up having to guess where they were. And if you put the lineart/sketch layer over the painting, it feels like I'm just painting in areas like in a colouring book, and as soon as I delete my sketch layer everything looks terrible. I know this is a bit of a rambling but I hope someone understands what I am going through here.
