Can we talk about how I ignored layers for 3 years and then got roasted in a Denver art Discord?
I used to think digital artists who obsess over layer groups and naming conventions were just stalling, so I flattened everything and kept one messy layer like a caveman. Then last Thursday I tried to change the sky color on a cityscape I'd been working on for 11 hours, and it smeared into the buildings because it was all one blob. A guy in a Denver art Discord named Marcus sent me a screenshot of his file with 47 named groups and said "this is why your edits look like mud," and honestly he was right. I spent two hours rebuilding that piece with proper layers and the final version actually got picked for a local showcase at a gallery on Santa Fe. Does anyone else have a dumb habit they defended way too long before someone finally called them out?

Admit it, we all trusted the undo button way too much.
