LEARNING TO DRAW ANIME BY COPYING PINTEREST AI ART - Speedpaint w/Rambling

[@eikonokitsune]

Another thing that always makes easy to spot(at least for me) when a image is made by ai is the image style. They are always very cutesy anime style, high half anime realism, and realism. After all when a art is made from a person you can see they own artistic style, in contrast the Ai always have the same styles.

[@commentbot9720]

I feel bad for the artists who's artstyles were used to create these AI. They will always look like AI now despite requiring a lot of skill.

[@madmouse4400]

They also have very "aggressive" lighting. Like , I have the impression that the exposed part of the model is roasting under stadium lights and the contrast between exposed and unexposed part is really really noticable (I also think that this level of exposure, the unexposed part should be pitch black). Most artists have a softer way to draw light , even a character that is supposed to be under a hot summer sun still has a lighting softer than that of normal AI art.

[@chattycatty3336]

Not always true :) so art copies from pretty much all online artists, so it depends what you type in the search bar. "Anime" will generate art that looks more cutesy like you said, but you can also look up specific artists and have that style copied as well. For example, if you looked up "angel ganev ai art", you would get art generated in his style. Does that make sense?

[@snoozyboio]

people using AI to create extremely specific references, to then draw over it is literally exactly what I hoped people would do with the software. Your drawings are fantastic!

It's the only way I find ai art to be acceptable. Like, ai art isn't bad as a tool, but the people just generating art and posting it or selling it as is, it's lazy and theft IMO. If it's used as a reference though, it's a great tool to help the art making process faster.

[@naraku971]

@@howdoesonesocial I had a friend of mine criticize me, I draw my own work, and I draw pictures based on AI, and she asked me "Is there anything you draw that isn't based on AI?" No, not at all, only over half my gallery on deviantart is my own work! 🙄 And I pick and choose what I want to do for redraws. I'm currently doing a collection of ribbons, and I plan on doing A "The generated image," and then next to it is a sheet of the redraws and I'm planning on posting that on Twitter.

Even the hair strands of the character gives away the fact that it is AI

How? Not supporting ai or anything, I can tell it’s ai, but I don’t see how the hair strands give it away?

[@axeolotl7269]

@@alexisdogbo7958I think it’s a mix between the highlights that come out of nowhere and just how the hair flows in general. Similar to the finger problem in the sense it feels unnatural.

[@pinkusdean1178]

@@alexisdogbo7958 it's hard to explain, strands will kind of just blur/blend into their surroundings out of nowhere. placements and clusters are messy and nonsensical and highlights and shadows confuse themselves and are places weirdly. now these when just put as words might seem like an inexperienced artistist but if you take a look at the ai art and zoom in you'll start to see what it means and how it's different. the AI doesn't know continuity or the logic behind a brushstroke so it kind of just blends stuff and creates these lil noodles

[@elintagart]

Ahhh thank you!!! I was a bit nervous about posting my voice so this makes me really happy :,)

[@painstarrrYT]

you kinda mentioned this but i think its totally fine to study from real artists in this way! ai just imitates and doesnt really have much thought behind it but when looking at real art you can learn from their very concious decisions and apply that to your own process. idk maybe the two are not all that different but i think if there are so many talented artists to learn from why should we do it with ai instead? loved the art, your voice over and the editing of the video, this is just some random though i had🫶

[@thememeilator2633]

I was thinking about it and yeah i dunno either. I mean i personally have done this with other peoples art to break it down to its base components. Ngl drawing well is very hard. I can't even make a diagonal line on my phone with a drawing stylus without the use of a ruler tool. Super frustrating.

[@miami7272]

there is definitely a stigma attached to referencing other artist's works unfortunately even though there shouldnt be. I'm not saying studying AI is right or wrong but that could be a reason why people use AI instead.

[@PandaYTwix]

A really great way to add detail and texture to skin quickly is the square chalk brush. You can easily find it for free online and most programs offer it. Also, just doing color studies on skin is a great way to learn to blend with detail. Limiting the palette to about 3or 4 as you go, then I like to throw in blues, yellows and purples; all depends on what I'm going for. The way you did the eyes is really nice with that shock of blue is fantastic. This came out really enjoy it and hope to hear more art and commentary from you!

[@relaxandlearn7996]

AI Art bro here and i want to help you to make your art harder to be taken or to be generate by ai: 1.use an image aspect ratio that is not in power of 2 like 640x640 or 1024x980 and so on, use an aspect ratio like this 1577x899 2.use some kind of simple pattern in the background or on objects,ai art always messes this up like a simple checkerboard pattern 3.use things in your are that are transparent looking, because ai art cant find out how to make something transparent. its because when ai generate things it makes every pixel at the same time, its not an layer based generation, so when you make something transparent you have done already the layers behind it and than add an transparent layer on top of that, ai art cant do this well or just bad. 4.hand and feet are better now with control net options BUT when they touch complex forms its all get messy 5.when you ad things in the background that look like text or symbols but arent , most ai look at this image in thier training and will get confused and will remind this image as text. so next time someone would generate the same style it can happen that the ai generates text. 6.never use simple or no background its easier for ai to be trained on it, always use an complex background it dont need to make any sense, add light rays in the foreground that changes the HUE or colors in the image and that also confuses the training of ai. when you want to look at ai art only use lexica.art/ there can you see the biggest flaws they have. i hope in the future image ai uses an CC0 image model so this "war" is over.

[@K1nla]

19:00 weeeh, the whole time I was waiting for you to fix the eyes DX one is higher then the other lol. It wouldn't have messed with me so bad but the ears with their symmetry made it so noticeable 🤣. That being said the rendering better then anything I could do. When it comes to the hair, it helps to break them up into bigger shapes then add any fly away hair last. I don't know if this would bother you with me pointed out another creator, if so I can edit my comment. But recently I've been watching the creator, pikat , their video "Draw better hair like this!" I've been trying to relearn to draw some things, and their videos kept coming up in my feed, they helped me understand hair a bit more, some tricks that could have helped you here vs learning from how AI does hair. 30:40 personally I think yours, it came out way better then the ref. You completely made it your own, I don't see the flaws you might see in the fabric, I still struggle with how to draw clothing so it just looks super pretty to me lol. 31:55 If you've seen characters that have animal ears or horns under a cloak, it sticks out like this normally. The ears weren't meant to be poking out of the vale like hat but under it but it's shape showing through. Lately my motivation with art drops 30mins in =withers away on floor= I have over 100 unfinished drawings in a folder. I'm doomed.

I like seeing more people redrawing AI art. I started to do this Early last year, and it's a lot of fun. I'm also maybe getting more attention than the scammers, yes scammers who post the generations as "references" for just a quick buck and scam people out of their money. Also, those AI bros are really funny, when it comes to style. I've come across at least twenty who are like "It's AI, I own it, you're copying me" AI doesn't have a copyright, neither does an art style for that matter, I keep seeing claims of "stealing a style" (something that's not possible) when it comes to generations, you also can't gain ownership of a style. You can't own a generation copyright wise, unless... you built a generator yourself and trained it on your own artwork. I have friends who have built their own generators entirely on their art, and I know it's theirs because I've followed their work for years, I recognize what pieces of their work end up as part of generations that they've shared.

Always finishing a drawing isn't exactly vital, of course, it's a good habit because as an artist you discard a lot of things and leave a lot of art unfinished. The best habits are to go back to basics, and fix those aspects, not just gesture, but dynamic sketching, textures, studies aimed at the areas we're missing. And also look at the processes of other artists, some of whom teach facilitations that can be included and modified in your routine workflow.

[@ItzKoifish]

Honestly cracked hot take, but at some point in the future (because humans are dumdums), we'll end up trying to use AI to extend the human life span ooooor well just have an AI that thinks its a God.

[@catgirl2379]

wouldn't it be better and more beneficial to find an actual artist to study, rather than redrawing something generated by the plagiarism machines? the point of studying others' art is to figure out the decisions they've made and why they've made them. The AI doesn't make any decisions, there's no thought or artistic merit behind the generated images so I don't see what you could get from redrawing them like this.

[@mrpickles-hb6zx]

It does make decisions, and ai art gives a different feel and it's nice to learn from

[@catgirl2379]

​@@mrpickles-hb6zx I reccomend learning how image generators work. The ai is not truly intelegent and doesn't make decisions. It doesn't have a "different feel" either - all the ai generated images featured in the video are completely generic anime art. They can't be anything else because it spits out an amalgamation of all the stolen art it's been fed.

[@chattycatty3336]

It's hated because it makes things easy, and doesn't always get it right. Generating art to use as a REFERENCE or just to have a pretty wallpaper is one thing, but a lot of people have been using AI art in their marketing. The issue with that is 1) you're taking away jobs from real people 2) you're stealing that art from other artists who have worked hard to make those images, just for a computer program to tweak it a bit and claim it as an "original peice" 3) you can very easily lie about your products. If a computer generates an image of your product but you can't meet that expectation, you are scamming people. 4) it takes no effort or time really. Labor is a form of love. If you take the time to write your own descriptions, and take your own photos of products you made yourself, it shows the passion you have for what youre doing, and gives customers confidence when working with you. All in all, I think AI should stay out of business. But I don't really see an issue with it if you're just using it for your own personal, non-profit use. Just don't go around claiming to be an "ai artist" cause that's not a real thing and you'll just be laughed at 💀

When you mentioned your problem with getting any skin details, I thought of more "traditional looking" art styles. I know it's much different than anime style, but I'm certain that taking a look at and listening to the artists as for how they approach depicting things, that could be useful. Mostly it's about not being afraid of leaving visible brush strokes as that is exactly what leaves texture.
