Is "being good at prompts" a real skill or did I just invent a job for myself?

3rd one is insane
I've been doing motion design for 8 years.
At first, I was good at copying.
Bad at original thinking.
I could rebuild anything I saw on Behance or Dribbble.
But starting from a blank canvas? That was a different story.
Then I started doing something small.
Before I open any reference, I sketch the first idea myself.
On paper. Ugly, rough, doesn't matter.
Sometimes the sketch is terrible. Sometimes a piece of it ends up in the final work.
The point isn't the sketch.
The point is training my brain to go first instead of waiting to copy.
8 years in and I'm still learning the basics. That's either embarrassing or honest. Probably both 🤝
