For example, before learning to paint fast, you need to learn to paint well ! once you know how to paint things really well, then you can think more about brush economy and how to optimize things, and it's really not a problem ! But most people would take it backward ! they would learn to paint fast to match industry standards, but at the same time they don't know how to paint really well, so they'd put extra hours to catch up with that ! painting fast isn't about making fast strokes, but about thinking fast and making the less mistakes possible in the early stages, it takes years of practice to build that second nature and most people would just take illusory shortcuts that leads to bad stuff in the end !
Yeah I agree with this a lot, mostly because I, like a lot of people, would see those sped up speedpainting videos where they would make a concept piece in like a few hours, sped up to 10 minutes. It's like, whoaaa that's how I want to paint! But of course, if you don't have the skills in general you can't paint like that. You get faster just by knowing what you're doing.
