thanks Darkiste. Yeah, edges are something I haven't put enough time into. I'll focus on the more in the future. I have a problem with getting lazy and not wanting to finish a piece or a study either, which just means I need to focus more and put more time/thought into it.
That tutorial helps, reminds me of a section in a James Gurney book (and in a blog post here): https://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/2009/...-rule.html

1. Use the biggest brush possible for a given passage.
2. Paint large shapes first, followed by small shapes.
3. Save your tonal and chromatic accents until the last.
4. Try to soften any edge that doesn’t need to be sharp.
5. Take time to get the center of interest right.
Or, the briefer version: (B.L.A.S.T.)
Big brushes.
Large to small.
Accents last.
Soften edges.
Take your time.
