I'm not too familiar with digital art outside of anime, but this feels like it's describing most of anime illustration to me. Usually they do the painting with the same type of brushes as the lineart and every stroke and gradient is controlled. There's pen, pencil and brush/marker with the own goal and feel, with brush/marker being closer to painting even when doing lineart.

Would you say pic related is a HRB adjacent painting style?

>when i paint in cg, i dont want to simulate trad, for many reasons
Can you expand on it? It's interesting how there are attempts to emulate oils/trad physically in digital but I never found it too appealing.
