Ended up with a glitch masterpiece after a tablet slip
I was trying out a new brush pack when my tablet slipped, causing a crazy glitch effect. Now this piece is getting more attention than my serious work. Do accidental creations count as real digital art?

That tablet slip thing totally reminds me of something I read about David Hockney. He was making art on his iPad and loved when it would glitch or do something weird, he'd just go with it. He called them happy accidents and kept them in the final piece. So if a famous artist is doing it, it definitely counts as real art. The tool messing up is just another part of the process now, like a paint drip. Your glitch piece getting attention just shows people connect with the cool result, not how controlled you were.

Yeah exactly! I totally had a brush lag thing happen once that made this weird blur effect, and I just rolled with it. Ended up being my favorite part of the piece honestly.

Remember when old video games would glitch out and make those crazy patterns? I had a similar thing happen with a drawing app on my phone. It totally froze and left these stretched lines all over my sketch. I was gonna delete it, but the lines looked like some kind of digital rain. So I kept it and showed it to my friends. They all thought it was some new art style I was trying.
