[ART] This is driving me nuts

[WALP]

-Drawing tablet is a must have, mouse no good.
-KEEP CALM AND TRY ALL THE MIXING MODES, When putting images into your texture, using a specific mixing mode will often allow you to achieve much better results. Theres no clear answer for which ones are good, theres probably a few you get to like more as you learn through trial and error.
-KEEP CALM AND GO CRAZY WITH FILTERS- yep filters can do so much shit, also try combining them, fx a noise filter with vertical blur is useful for creating wood textures.
-Include baked maps if you have the option to do so, primarily I am speaking of Ambient Occlusion and
Normal maps, Remove color(desaturate) if theres any in them, and find a good mixing method to mix them in with the texture.
-Though I am a sinner of not taking use of this having more extra/custom brushes should be very helpful.
-Trial and error, spend more time texturing, pretty straightforward.
-Ask for feedback on the individual texture if you dont know how to proceed further?
