3. Stop chasing trends
you have cool, original ideas. if everyone feeds on the same hype train, then nothing as taste. So yeah, how about working with a blank page? scary, but creative!

2. Making something takes time. Donโt give up on this
I hear that you want to be competitive, in a saturated market where speed could give you value. But no, your value is not only there. If thatโs the case, you already lost to the plagiarism machine
A good stew need to stew!

1. give importance to WHO made the pictures you use
donโt use a picture when you donโt know who made it. If itโs not credited, a quick reverse-image-search is all it takes to credit it yself
It takes time but itโs the cost of every good thing in life. Bonus: youโll discover more from this artist

now that AI has polluted internet, itโs simpler to use AI refs without knowing it. I bet thereโs at least one AI pic in your ref board rn.

first time using this tool^^ I struggle to do magic on greyscale pictures
either lines I want removed are still present, or I can strengthen the range but the result is aliased. cause lines to keep and lines to erase can be the same value
