Been doing some more drawing practice in #Krita. Trying to get better at drawing the things that are in my head rather than just recreating things I can see. I've recently discovered the lquify tool. It's really nice for nudging my line work into the shape I actually wanted it, but it feels like a cheat.
Then again, if I limit myself to what I could have done with physical media, I suppose I should also forego layers and undo—which I'm absolutely not going to do. I guess there's nothing wrong with using the tools available to me. I just don't want it to become too much of a crutch.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •Very interesting! Some years ago I went through that exact train of thought while watching a speed-paint video, and now I use the free-transform tool quite often.
While you don't train accuracy, depending on your prefered style, it can be a fine tool to use imo. Even help train your observation.
Recently, however, I did notice the need to "get it right at the first try" when trying gesture drawing. So for my last drawings I've avoided using it and plan to do so for a couple months
