My dog's tail swipe made me rethink digital art polish
I was almost done with a portrait when my dog bumped the tablet and messed up the lines. Instead of fixing it, I left the wobbles in and it looked more alive. In my view, digital art gets too focused on being neat and perfect. That messy moment gave the piece a feel my other work lacks. Some artists spend hours on smooth edges, but a little randomness can be good. From my experience, trying to control everything makes art stiff. Your mileage may vary, but sometimes a happy accident is just what you need.
