drawing is a skill
drawing digitally requires far less skill
erasing is different to an undo button, that's why the digital format has both
"you are making nothing for no one"
well the users of my apps seem to enjoy them and they keep paying each month to use them so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree
gradient done with watercolours requires skill
dragging a gradient tool doesn't require skill
traditional art has no 'undo' button
constantly crying about AI isn't helping your case - it's making me $5k a month, that's $5k a month you are leaving on the table while insulting other people's intelligence
being able to tap a button to instantly duplicate something you drew is 100% automation and something you can't do with traditional mediums
using gradient tools is not something you can do with traditional mediums
using layers is not something you can do with traditional mediums
you're being disingenuous because it's your only art form, I've demonstrated I know what I'm talking about as someone that sells art in both forms.
You can keep saying the same thing over and over whilst ignoring my points about all of the automation tools accessible to digital artists, it's not going to change the facts that digital art is made substantially easier by giving artists access to powerful shortcuts
As for your question, I'm gonna wager that I have a better grasp of drawing and what it entails (in both digital and traditional mediums) than you do.
@ostakoth@Rahll it's not the same process at all
none of those shortcuts exist in traditional mediums
and that's from someone with deep experience using both https://t.co/KVt3LpLEer
@ostakoth@Rahll except it has layers, fill tools, undo buttons, gradient presets, brush presets, opacity control, duplication etc etc
comparing digital to traditional is laughable cope
It’s always the least talented people with the loudest voices when it comes to art
Every time I confront them with my human work they shrivel up and either resort to insults or blocks
The most unserious, unproductive people on the planet
AI artist are not real. If you use Gen AI, you are no artist. You guys either type a prompt, which isn't difficult, or you run other artist's work to an AI. Pick up a pencil.
@MF_4NT0 We use it all the time here in the UK
Please don't try and dictate the English language to an Englishman, you're just going to end up looking silly
Every single artist on this platform that moans about AI always (without fail) has a media tab full of poorly drawn sexualised women with unrealistic proportions or anime
it's literally a 100% hit rate
interesting phenomenon
@Y2K_mindset The most uncreative people are often the loudest, that’s why it’s easier for them to block creative people instead of constructing an argument
I wouldn't worry too much, there are always going to be those that pride themselves on maintaining knowledge
those with drive and purpose wont lose out to AI, it will buff their strengths and allow them to reach heights that they couldn't achieve before
I think my small experience is a good example of that
@mousdrvr@Playerinthgame I'm not a developer though, pre-AI my development experience was basic web design and being able to interpret python
5 months later and I have 6 iPhone apps and 4 web apps generating between $4k-7k a month passively
it's not going anywhere though, as evidenced by you people spending all day everyday crying about it
to pretend that groundbreaking tech that has won nobel prizes and upended multiple different industries is going to be put back in the bottle is wildly delusional
I worry about how detached you people are from reality at times
I don't do my job to grow technically
I do my job so that I can pay to do things I enjoy
Not every tool needs to "grow you technically"
At first I was using AI to learn things quicker and develop skills quicker, but then I realised it was quicker and more efficient to just let AI agents do those IT tasks instead
