>>2170084>I don't understand the hate towards strokes though.It's a long running thing in this thread. I feel like it's blown out of proportions sometimes but the core argument holds true. Strokes just don't look good, at least to me. They're too rigid looking and lack any kind of malleability in terms of shaping them up. You don't have many options to change how you want them to look, they're pretty much just another tool on your tool bar at the end of the day.
>How is this preferable to the strokes?That's because the fills you made there are not a good example. It takes time and a lot of practice to get good fills. Strokes are like designing something with uniform toothpicks/Popsicle sticks compared to using clay that you shape each piece into what you need.
At the end of the day, it's about using what looks good, which is subjective but with about 8 years of experience doing these, I've not found many reasons to use strokes for anything except than save time and effort in rare situations where you just can't tell the difference.
