There is a lot to cover with this one. Though, it's hard to notice at the first glance, but there is surely some evidence indicating that this person is tracing AI art. I looked at the page myself, watched and compared their speedpaints and here is some thing that I found that look odd: 1. Inconsistent art style. They go from drawing realistic structure of the head to suddenly anime style, then semirealism then more realistic. It's subtle, but it is visible in how they draw noses and lips and how some of the characters have more details to them. And note, most of them are 1 day apart. 2. Inconsistent structure process. Some faces have just lines to indicate the placement of the features, and some have whole structure of the face with planes to them. Notice also the difference in how they structure eyes from one piece to another. Sometimes they even draw eyes separately. 3. Weird hair and sharp lines that doesn't make sense. In some of their works it's very visible that they don't think of the hair as a mass and clearly don't understand the volume of it. Some of the hair has clumps that doesn't make any sense and for some reason there's a lot of sharp edges to them. Doesn't seem like a preference in drawing hair, considering how inconsistent it is. The most visible to spot AI tracing is their "30 minute drawing" video process. Look at the hair in the middle. It doesn't make sense. Another one is "the importance of fundamentals" Again. Look at the hair. It is inconsistent and lack intension. 4. Date of posting. They don't seem to have a consistent schedule, but sometimes they post everyday, and sometimes they post a couple of drawing at the same day. As an artist myself that tries to grow on the platform this amount of posts and gaps between them seem weird. The one explanation that comes to me immediately is that they're trying to fill their page so it would look more real. The other thing I'll add from myself is a weird lack of exploration process. They just start drawing a head with structure and then add details. The biggest problem is that after the "sketch" they just refine it, without changing anything. Like there is already a clear picture of what the character would look like. Usually, if you're going to explore the character and their look you'll do some doodles of the shape of the face, try to find matching hair, try different eye shape. But they just appear out of thin air, with already completed design. Yes, some people can draw it like that easily, take Marc Brunet for example. But his structure process is unified, he has his own method and a way of drawing face and hair and all of it is clearly drawn with intension. Don't get me wrong, It can be fine, but when there's so many weird and odd things to it combined - it just doesn't make any sense.

It could be argued that the point is to draw the same subject from different angles, but from the very stiff anatomy, lack of any dynamic shapes, weird tangents and general feeling that nothing about this was 'designed' by an artist - I get the feeling this is either traced from a 3D model or even just a filter applied over images of the model.

That's fine :). My video was more connecting the dots to comic pencil and how it's a scam. I don't think it's a poorly made video as it gets the information out there. Thanks for your opinion.

I didn't know any of this...i came across this tantan pdf on instagram and bought it because it looked good. (i do buy almost any art books i can find)and ... i still don't know, the info in there is useful. (I think he might use 3D models and draws over them, but to learn the anatomy i don't mind that?) but i really can't tell. I'm an artist for many many years and it's scary that i honestly can't tell anymore what's real and what's ai. Anyway, I wouldn't buy it now after I am made aware that I CAN'T TELL. but srly i didn't pick up on it wtf. freaky.

Oh i think i know the 3D model he might have used for some of the helpful art in the book. It's probably from the app "Head Model Studio"

Did you ever consider that their customers dont care if its AI or not?

Yes, I've considered it. Checking the rest of the comments, people DO care.

As someone who nearly got scammed into buying that book, we absolutely care. The book is supposed to be about art and anatomy - things actual artists want to use and improve in their drawing process. Finding out it was all AI is a huge disappointment because it means the book is useless to actual artists. So as a prospective client, we absolutely care.

Then why hiding it? If you guys are so pressed about selling AI pictures and saying it's better and nobody cares... Why hide the fact it is made by AI, to the point you FAKE it and lie about doing it by hand?

Please do not say something is a scam if you do not have evidence. If you do not want to support another artist, don't. But you need to make *allegations*. You don't need to like AI or people who try to pass it off as their own work but this attitude towards AI and artists using it at ALL is absurd. Let artists use tools.

Have to say thank you so much for posting this video. I’m just getting into art and have been looking for resources and was considering buying this as I saw an ad for Tatan on Instagram. So glad I decided to research before wasting money on it. Again thank you for posting this ❤️
