That one guy at the gallery who told me my digital painting was 'just filters'

I spent 40 hours on a piece in Procreate, layer by layer, and he said that while not even looking at the brushwork notes I had printed out, has anyone else had someone dismiss digital work as cheating when they clearly never touched the software?

40 hours of work dismissed in 5 seconds, that's brutal man. People who've never opened a drawing app have no clue how much skill digital art actually takes.

This right here. Non-artists think digital art is just hitting "ctrl+z" a few times.
