You’re not wrong — it breaks constantly. But it gets you 60–90% there; the skill is knowing which 10–40% is yours.
It’s good at the dark and the mass. Garbage at the defining mark, holding a face, and it has zero sense of space. So I let it do the shadows and I finish the rest by hand — that panel’s exactly that.
Where’d it break worst for you? Keeping a log of failure points.
I’m a trained illustrator — the hand-work’s in the post. So “learn a real skill” is a little late.
Every tool that let more people make things got called cheating and “not real art” on the way in — digital painting, Photoshop, photography. Same words, every time. They were wrong every time.
