this is so me btw, I wish i could draw soo bad
I remember on reddit I started, but never put in the effort to grow, a sub called Comic Requests. Basically a place for creative non-artists and idea-less artists to meet and collaborate to produce comic strips. Maybe someone who isn’t me could finally make that happen here.
there are, dark ways, ways some might call inethical
im no stranger to ai art, but what i need, it cant provide, and even if it did, doesnt feel authentic or capture that feeling im looking for
There’s a difference between generated images and an AI artist. If you learn the tools and put in the leg-work, you can learn to get exactly the output you want
It’s not easy, but if you have a clear image and use all the tools available you can get there. It goes way beyond the initial prompt - it’s very iterative, processing and reprocessing parts of an image until you get what you want
You are aware ai can be used as part of a process, you don’t need an ai that can do everything in one go
yeah but they said they don’t have the skill to make art; an artist is not just a color they use or a brush they paint with, an artist also requires knowledge of what to use and where to use it
edit: used a semicolon in an art tangent, call me pretentious
You can just go to fiverr and pay a manga artist to create your drawing.

It really sucks, don’t it?
Me
lacking with the:
idea, knowledge, practice,
workflow, plan, proper working tools,
purpose, resources, ability to stick to something long-term,
or energy and morale to even get started on anything of note (this list may be incomplete):“the winds of change are gonna really knock something into line, I feel it. Yep, any week now.
Just gotta scan the horizons. Or is it more like a pot of water? Hmm… Maybe there’s something I missed.”deleted by creator
My comment was more about combining art+animation and probably programming+solo gamedev. An example of my desired aesthetic, I made THE EYE probably about a year ago but the key feature used is not in a stable release yet and for technical reasons might not perform the best if used like that to create entire scenes (plus as hinted, other stuff not where desired). Thinking about a similar lowpoly (vertex colors/mostly textureless) aesthetic in 3D but don’t really want to learn/use Blender.
I’ve done mediocre pixel art in the past and 3 different attempts at drawing practice with years inbetween each attempt (a few pieces with digital shading, then a few rough digital sketches and drawing practice*, then drawing practice* on paper. *=Lines, ovals, triangles, scribbles etc and maybe some doodles). I always run into some small toe stub, though I think with paper I just got bored with drawing ovals after the 4th time and didn’t really see the point. Thought about trying mixed-media watercolors and never got the stuff, plus no real space or ideas again.
If I found the right raster aesthetic, drawing skills might make sense to do frame animations in Krita. But if I used something more vector-y the skills might not overlap as much particularly for more minimalist stuff (though it would with hand-drawn/shaded frame animation in something like Wick Editor).
oh yeah, with 3d its a lot harder to do for sure. “tell me about it”
If you have money: pay for someone else’s talent.
If you don’t: AI. Or practice, I guess. 🤷🏻♂️
Dont let your dreams just be dreams, you won’t make anything great without creating alot of stuff that sucks, so start now and get all the stuff that sucks out of the way. Greatness comes with repetition, and being consistent.
Work your drawing, talent is fake. Facility from baby and social differences exists though. But work it it, this is never too late for real. Can be hard, but again, work it ^^"
Time is the true variable. Put time in your works. Except capitalists ones, that’s just for payday then ^^"
May I interest you with vector arts?
It’s simple to start with, easy to edit and best of all, infinitely scalable!
I tried illustrator once and never want to touch it again
Try inkscape.
I draw inklings with it.

I used to feel this. I always felt like I’m just not cut out for art. Then I made friends with some artists, picked up some techniques from watching them draw, and now I’m fairly confident in my work. I’m not amazing at it, but I’ve learned to ignore those feelings of insecurity and now I have a lot of fun with shitty little doodles.
Just remember, there’s no such thing as a bad art style.
Same applies for thinking of a computing task or an app, without the coding know-how.
This is where AI art generation comes in. Still takes some work to generate the parts you want, and assemble them.
“I wish I could make nice things.”
“Have you considered theft?”

There are no good ideas without execution. You can’t tell if something is good if it’s just in your head.
Use Stables Diffusion? That’s what it’s for, no? Not like you’re putting an artist out of work with that, and it can be great fun learning how it all works, I suggest you start with the Automatic1111 frontend and ignore the controlnets and stuff for now, then move into ComfyUI for extra performance benefits with XL and chaining models and such, it’s all fairly simple to install nowadays and is free (as in beer) and open source like the model itself.
Once you get controlnets working, if you can sketch it’s great because you can much more precisely guide the model into filling out parts you struggle with in drawing, img2img can also be useful if you can at least draw stick figure composition to guide it.
Or just like… actually practice art so you can learn instead of fiddling with plagiarism machine for hours
AI art isn’t plagiarism, it uses art to train, same as any person would. You shouldn’t just believe random unsourced tacked on claims even if they’re in an Hbomberguy video.
Learning AI art has it’s own skills and knowledge and challenges, it’s just a different skillet same as digital art to traditional art. It’s not just “fiddling” anymore than drawing is fiddling.
'sides, not everyone can draw well in the end, and even those who might be able to can’t really dedicate that much time to such a pursuit as a hobby if they have work/family etc. I’ll probably never get good at a musical instrument but I wouldn’t let that steal the joy of making music on my PC in a DAW with some VSTs.
I know PewDiePie did it with that one challenge, and the anti-AI crowd praised him, but aside from saying slurs on the internet it’s not like he has a job, he’s just a multimillionaire who never has to work a day in his life again so not exactly a valid comparison for a normal person.
pee pee poo poo
fuck it
draw it anyway
gotta start somewhere
that’s true, I’ll start gathering reference 🤭
Do you need a model for anything? :P
🤭 I need a helper though
Someone to pose for you? :P
aren’t I your sub? you need to help me get ready for our “photoshoot” in that case 🤭👉👈
Being my sub, I will force you to genuinely practice drawing. But in a hot way, obviously

You’re saying it like it’s an inaccessible skill. Time + practice = unlock new ability. edit: sp
Time is not something everyone has an abundance of
OP seems to have plenty of time creating and posting memes.
