Maybe it's because of something weird someone said, but people seem to be talking a lot about tangents.

I'm gonna risk being real basic here, but I definitely think you shouldn't draw tangents unless you want the viewer's eye to glitch out. My eyes glitch out on tangents, anyway.

This is one of those cases where "conventional art wisdom" is probably correct.

It's also one of those things that probably varies from person to person a lot. So an artist might not have glitchy eyes, and therefore think "aww, tangents aren't a big deal, these guys are full of shit-"

If you have tangents in your art, my eyes will glitch out, whether yours do or not.
