I genuinely wish I could draw like this ngl.
After a certain point your eyeballs are stronger than your hands and then your hands are stronger than your eyeballs and you can't really "go backwards" so the last drawing you draw will be one of the best ones each time.
Hard to explain
Each drawing u do will be an art equivalent of winning a pkmn battle for EXP & theres a lot of charm & potential starting from that point. The growth is SO fun to see & experience
Like liking Quilava more than Typhlosion to me even if typhlosion is "better" in battle.
Continuing Pokemon analogy:
In all stats Im sure Typhlosion is better
u wont see Quilava in "endgame" so *enjoy your time with Quilava bc it WILL evolve and you cant go back to it!*
Basically art is abt the journey not "being the very best like no one ever was"
U learn tons early in & it feels gr8
& I LOVE to see the "lower exp gained" levels its just
So good
Theres a vibe/energy there u cant replicate ever again as u gain exp
Like a weird feeling of joy to me & I LOVE it
Its SO FUN to see a new artist grow over time & now is the best time to start! Fun info, tips, tutorials galore, etc.
More accesible software than MS paint these days, (Clip Studio, Apps, portable tablets etc)
Tool that can help u grow like 5x faster than my slow ass process from 2005 ~ 2025
Learned so much more in 2013-15 bc of tutorials n stuff you can experience rapid progress, or amble along nice n chill
A vibe
Thas the gist of it thx 4 comin 2 my Ted talk Ill stop ramblin & get off my soapbox now
There was a quote I read somewhere sorta like
"Every1 can be an artist if u let them
Some dont bc they are discouraged by other opinions etc or have other stronger interests
But everyone has that same potential
Art like this is so much more meme-worthy, faster, & RAW than anything I could do now If that makes sense.
The better ur eye & hand get the more impossible it is to reach that kind of aesthetic
Its like the energy of confident one-time strokes that kinda look like a continuous line drawing.
Because even I it's hard you made an effort and at the end of the day that's what art is about. People care about seeing someone make effort and try! Art IS hard - but with practice it becomes less hard, a thing we start to understand more. And tbh your piece feels v 00s webcomic!
It has a general sense of proportion, dynamism, it shows a lot of promise from someone trying to illustrate "not being good" at something. It has a soul, moreover, which the most polished AI lacks - it's a piece of art made to communicate an idea to a viewer, even if the idea is "art is hard".
it's a good drawing, that's what makes drawing and art cool. I can clearly see what this is. I know it's a dude pointing. You literally succeeded and there's so much life in your linework
"drawing in response" is one of my favorite forms of art. You interpreted Deb's work, logically defined its meaning "drawing isn't hard," and responded with your own theory "yeah it is." it's iconology.
You did disprove your own effort, because the likeness is still there. But that's art for you.
Granted you're not "technically proficient," which is part of your sketch's "thesis"; and many people, myself included, value proficiency, but it's not everything.
You kind of bumbled your way into a piece that has tangible psychological meaning when and most of us ignore that part of creating.
If I must. This gives away the hollowness of the whole AI game right? Art is just another language for humans to share & communicate. Birb makes a drawing and it's as genuine & simple as joining in a song or dance. I paint a buffalo, you paint a buffalo. Generating an image is refusing to be human.
Not bad. Touch up in a few places and it would look better. Definitely a practice makes perfect type deal. Give it some more tries and you can make something pretty exceptional

Keep it up.
(Maybe that’s not how you made it but that’s how it reads)

"This is a demonstration of how talented artists have to be in order to do art"
When an AI draws something poorly, it's an unethical product failing to even do that which it is tasked with doing.
