LIE-CHEAT-STEAL LIKE A FISH

Description

LIE: To yourself until you have the confidence for real. We aren't born great artists, it's a lifelong process.
CHEAT: To find short cuts to create the product you want to put out. Lateral thinking is for more than just tricky riddles.
STEAL: Bits and pieces of technique, concept and form that catches your eye, from any and every available source. Let the sharp eyed Magpie be your spirit guide.

Maybe it's just my monitor, but I don't get what difference it makes to the end result to use a textured brush. Actually, I don't even get why God seems to have forsaken you when you used the round hard brush. Can anybody explain? Otherwise very fun tutorial!
