My old process for digital painting involved 17 separate layers for a single eye, but after a workshop in Portland, I just use one messy layer and blend it all by hand.

Has anyone else ditched their super-structured workflow for something more chaotic but fun?

That timer trick is smart. My friend who does watercolors had the same noodling problem. She started leaving her paintings on the subway so she couldn't go back and ruin them.

How do you stop yourself from over-blending when you work on just one layer? I had to force myself to use a bigger brush and set a timer, because I'd just keep noodling the same spot forever.
