How do you learn to create hand-painted textures for real-time VFX?

There are some resources: https://quentincordonnier.gumroad.com/

But what I recommend is just draw a lot and analyze how others do that.
Some even post breakdowns like here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8ebv4G

With handdrawn stuff there is no shortcut unfortunately apart from just practicing a lot :smiley:
(but even regular 10mins a day can give you incredible results)
