On the topic of self-evaluating my art style, there’s this.
The way I draw with tons of layers was designed to be easy to edit characters for comic panels, kinda like puppet rigging in Flash. This involves a lot of transforming (moving, rotating, and resizing layers).
But SAI does a thing where the more you transform a layer, the lower the quality it attains, creating these annoying fuzzy edges coupled with a dark line that runs along them. The line can be erased with an opacity lock + brush passover, but the fuzziness remains and gets worse with more transforming and soon I’d have to redraw the layer.
I’m handicapped to SAI so I really can’t avoid this, but even after years of drawing in it, this quality drop still pisses me off.
I wonder if this happens in Photoshop, too…
