I am currently at a blocking point for progress. I've grown to hate how my maps look. Too cartoony or bubbly. I stopped very early on this one as it just looks too cartoonish. I'm using Clip Studio and have scanned in a drawing I did in a notebook as a reference. Does anyone have tips as to how I could make my maps look grittier, or hell, just better overall. I feel like I've stagnated as far as progress. I just do this as a hobby but I'd like to continue to learn.
