Aprica - Remains of the World Tree sketch

Most exciting update for my use case is the flexible input for the lasso tool, I can use both straight line and freehand lasso in 1 selection.

Other updates are just so-so, very situational tools.

The pupper warp and Lens Blur is cool too I guess. I would prefer transform mesh with curve handles like Krita.

Just one example for now.
A reminder to not blindly believe any advice right away.
I guess it does depend on the circumstance.

I originally came across this term on Lesswrong back when I was reading a lot on AI and adjacent topics.

Essentially it means that a representation of a thing is not the thing itself.

Examples:

I generally don't like using textures or premade graphic assets.
I also have a personal threshold for how "readymade" a brush should be. I don't like to use stamp brushes like tree or flower silhouettes.

Typeface is something I frequently use as a graphic designer. It is something highly creative and time-consuming so I always try to credit the original authors.

Part of Shape Design

Sculpted Shape is made from multiple brush strokes
One-shot Shape is made from 1 single stroke, showcasing the shape of the brush stamp/brush tip (in my case, I like to use square and oval brush)

Sculpted shape is the most standard technique for everything.
I prefer the neat look of One-shot shape but the opportunity to use it is limited, mostly highlight or simple shadow shape, or utilized as a Dithering unit.
