I AM CRYING WTF IS THIS??
It...doesn't teach you anything?? It's just throwing random shapes and lines down. It's a mess. It wants to be step-by-step, but it doesn't know or understand the act of drawing.
Gen AI is dumb af. Look up tutorials from artists.
I think we care too much about how other people produce art (Unless it's AI). Just cause we don't share 100% the same work-flow, doesn't mean one is right and one is wrong. Art is self-expression, and at the end of the day, that's the part I care about.
I'm seeing a lot of talking about the use of 3D-models when doing art and how some people shouldn't use it. Here is my cold-as-November-morning take, as someone who's been picking up drawing for the past year, but spent decades commenting on art. 🧵
But even then, if you do wanna trace 3D models from start to finish, you do you. If that's what it takes for you to create something creative, if that's what you need to produce art, go for it. The most important thing is that you start and you keep going.
People are shitting on this person for the usual “artists are entitled!” reasons, but quite frankly if you’re fine the public space being polluted with ugly AI ads and AI generated music, you are human cattle.
Looks like I'm going to be having a small surgery in the next few months (date still unconfirmed). I'll need to recover after, so I hope to have some money saved during that time. I'll be running a 20% discount on all artworks requested through VGEN until next month.
Perfectionism kills the joy of creating, understanding art technical level isn't bad but it gets to a point where it becomes intoxicating, people become afraid of making mistakes. Make anatomy mistakes, place the shadows wrong, you will enjoy drawing again once you stop caring
