Me, learning to draw to spite AI: This is fun :D (see doodle I did of Gemma from Monster Hunter Wilds below)
Also me: How the frick do you paint gravel without it looking terrible?! (I'll figure it out somehow)
Paint or draw? And how big?
Of you are painting small gravel you can get away with a noise layer, it you mean drawing big amounts of gravel, I'd say it's one of those things you can mindless work a pattern of oval rocks, varying on size and width.
Objectively false. It's insulting to even say that. I spent over a decade learning to draw only to still suck at it due to physical and mental disconnect. Not everyone is capable of learning to draw. Stop being ableist.
Which is funny because artists had similar sentiments against photography when it was invented. Artists claimed that photography was mechanical and devoid of artistic intent. A soulless imitation of the artistic process.
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
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
a little rough, but it looks so much better than A.I., actually on 2nd thought I like that it has a slightly rough look to it, means you put you're heart out on this, good stuff 👍.
It's not that Drawings too hard for the guys doing the AI Ghibli posts.
They're Nazi's, Miyazaki said "AI art is an insult to life itself"
Nazi's hate all life,
Mystery solved. They don't want to be artists, they just want to mald in anger and sadness like 17 year olds at a Radiohead concert.
Christ I just realized now that I'm gonna be looking at every Miyazaki like art style on socials with distrust now. I freaking hate what GenAI has done to me.
This also means you'll have a better shot of knowing what Ghibli fanart is from other artists, and are not AI generated. Because fanart is an act of love, and artists meticulously study other artist's styles in order to get their fanart "right" while still looking like their own work.
There is SO much public information on how to learn how to draw nowadays, there is no excuse not to just use it if you wanna be creative, rather than use something like GenAI cause "I dunno how to draw!!"
I mean, it really is, but if you wanna be able to call yourself an artist, then you just have to LEARN TO BE AN ARTIST rather than steal other people's work and claim it as your onw.
Learning how to prompt so that the spaces are interesting to explore is actually incredibly hard. Drawing is all good, but it's not the only valid form of artistic expression. People make music with modular synthesizers, and that's not less music than playing a piano.
#AIart
The only case where laziness is real is AI losers absolutely refusing to just pick up a fucking pencil and learn how to draw. If you actively try to learn it really won't take you long to improve
I'll confess I've been playing with an image generation thing on my PC and, it kind of inspired me to get an inexpensive tablet and try to learn again.

Learning to draw WELL: Not easy.
Also me: How the frick do you paint gravel without it looking terrible?! (I'll figure it out somehow)

❓️ Do you have one tip that will make everything in learning how to draw easier?
That’s why seeing the results is astonishing.
It hurts me but I'm a millennial so the irony sustains my spirit.
or maybe the joke is that its new jersey?
You look cool af in this pic btw

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.
I dont get it ☠️
I'll stick to words. Every thousand is worth a picture, yeah? I can do that talking about what I had for breakfast.

Studio Ghibli Binge-watch. If you've seen everything they've made, you can have a better idea of what Ghibli will and won't touch, thematically.
And you're uplifting the studio and the genre and the media by thoughtfully engaging with it.
AI doesn't.
