Is my art process/technique flawed?
Tldr: Are there any tutorials yall would recommend for me to learn to use other brushes and/or improve my art process?
First of all, i use Krita and a relatively cheap, screenless Huion tablet.
My process is as follows:
1: Do a chicken scratch-like sketch using the basic solid brush that gets thicker with pressure
2: Using the same brush, i make a new layer and reduce the opacity of the sketch layer to draw on top. I usually deviate a good bunch from what was in the sketch. (Because i notice imperfections and improvements i could make).
3: I make a new layer, using it for colors, flat, without any shadows, it feels a bit random choosing them.
4: I make a new layer for shadows, and i alternate between: Making it an overlay of solid colors that i change based on the color it's on top; Or i simply bucket fill the layer with a black-adjacent color and erase what's supposed to be in light.
Everything is basically done using the same, basic-5 size brush, mostly because i don't know how to use any other one, i tried a paint brush on the eyes there but i think looks a little weird.
I also notice some dificulty i have to keep a "pretty" line in the second stage, especially given i usually find the sketch more visually pleasing.
Critiques about the anatomy and likewise are welcome too.
Also the art is a reference to Blade Runner 2049, using a character that i'm playing in a ttrpg cuz she lost her love interest and got fucked up fighting some people
