My brother told me to stop over-blending my digital paintings and I ignored him for 6 months

My older brother Matt is a traditional oil painter, so I figured his advice about digital art was useless. He kept saying my pieces looked muddy because I was using too many soft brushes and smudge tools. Last week I finally tried his method of sticking to hard brushes and leaving visible strokes. Now I'm kicking myself for wasting half a year on blurry messes. Has anyone else had a traditional artist give you advice that totally changed your digital workflow?

@oliver_fisher my sister used to tell me to stop overthinking my garden layout and I ended up with tomato plants in the shade for a whole summer, so yeah.
