Exactly! The stroke direction is very important. One other reason why I hate using blur is that the thing makes the whole app lag. My tab is low end so yeah.
You should totally try the smudge tool. Although I can't say how it functions on other apps though.
well the smudge tool on gopaint acts more like a blender brush than anything so I may need to optimise it to get that motion dynamic i can get from the blur tools tbh. hut it's worth a shot cuz gopaint is very very similar to procreate so i feel like they'll have the same smudge effect
Yeah actually it can be used to blend too but i don't prefer that.
Maybe ask gpt it will help you optimise it for motion blur.
