Just realized I've been using free brushes way too long

Spent my first 3 years in digital art stubbornly using free brush packs from DeviantArt and wondering why my textures looked flat. Picked up Kyle's brushes last month for $15 and the difference in my landscapes is honestly embarrassing lol. Anyone else hold out way too long on upgrading their toolkit?

How much time did you waste tweaking those free brushes trying to get them to work right before you finally caved?

Spent like four hours messing with some free watercolor brushes that looked amazing in the preview but just turned into a muddy mess on my canvas. Finally gave up and bought a cheap set for like five bucks, worked perfectly right out of the box. Kind of funny how we always think we can save money by tinkering with free stuff, but end up burning way more time than it's worth.
