I am genuinely trying to get better at art. I’m not there yet (likely never will be), the lying machine is still better than me.
The context:
This is my sketch.
And this is what the ai output.
I like to think I poured my heart and soul into it. I know there are people who will tell me that I’m terrible for using ai at all. I’m also sorry if this is the wrong community to ask this question (ask reddit would delete my post instantly if I tried to post there).
Again, is this slop? I am not an artist. I drive a forklift real good, that’s my skillset. So if I were to use the ai upscaled version for my book, well, I’m asking for opinions.
That’s not “upscaling”. That’s having the AI color it in for you. Like a comic artist who has a colorer (person that literally does that).
Upscaling just makes the image bigger (resolution-wise). It uses the same exact technology as regular AI image generation though 🤷
There’s degrees to everything. AI haters are at the point where they’re arguing with digital artists over what counts as art and it’s getting insane.
I think this helps, but I’m not sure what to do with it. Of course, I’m going to keep practicing, and eventually I won’t need ai to help me anymore, but between now and then…
That’s exactly what you do with it, keep practising, nothing more nothing less. Draw shit. Eventually your shit will be fucking fantastic.
thank you.
Is there a well defined “then”? Shortcuts are hard to stop arbitrarily using. If your goal is to become a better artist I would focus more on practicing your art instead of fitting AI into your art.
There is not a well defined “then”. I might not ever get there. I said from the get go that I’m not an artist. I want to be one though.
