PSA: I was stuck on a piece for a week until I changed one brush setting

I was working on a portrait in Procreate and the skin tones looked flat and plastic. I spent hours trying different color palettes and layer modes with no luck. After a week, I changed the 'wet mix' setting on my main brush from 0% to about 35%. It blended the colors in a way that looked real, not digital. The whole piece came together in maybe two more hours. Has anyone else found a single brush tweak that fixed a big problem?

Happens all the time, reminds me how we miss the simple fix while overcomplicating things.

A whole week for one brush setting? That's brutal.

A week of struggle over a single wet mix slider is pretty funny, honestly.
