I cant believe how gorgeous this turned out!! Thanks for the tutorial

[@pepostudios]

I love the idea of using generative AI for reference photos! The way I see it, it’s totally different from using generative AI to actually produce artwork. It seems like a great way to quickly tailor your references to your needs, and when those references are used in the way that you use them where you aren’t necessarily copying directly, but rather using them as a starting point, I think it’s awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@MimimooIllustration]

I agree! 🥰

[@user-po9pv7rw1g]

it's just that, that the only reason it can generate those images in the first place is because so many photographers' work has been stolen to be used as training data... :(

[@lidiakrajewskaart]

I believe that the generative AI in Photoshop is fed by stock images that are actually bought from photographers, isn’t it?

[@jngarrettart]

@@lidiakrajewskaart I’ve heard a lot of the photographers were actually very frustrated, because being used in a dataset wasn’t one of the uses they originally licensed their work for when they added their photos to the Adobe stock library, and my understanding is Adobe didn’t ask about the new use, just took the stock library and used it as a dataset. Brad Colbow’s latest video on Adobe talks a bit about this. I understand the concept of using it as a reference, but there is currently no image generator I know of that is built on ethically sourced data.

[@lidiakrajewskaart]

@@jngarrettart ohhh, I see, I didn’t know about it

[@VicciVulpix]

This is inspiring to me, someone who has been attempting digital art for less than a month. It's been extremely helpful and informative. I'd love to see more of these! Keep up the amazing work!

[@ZameerSketchArt783]

"Incredibly informative and inspiring! This video was super helpful. Thank you!"

[@artwithash]

I really loved this video. It was wonderful to see how you broke down the process. It makes digital art seem less daunting. I'd love more videos just like this one!

[@MimimooIllustration]

Oh I'm so glad to hear that! 💖

[@saralavanchy4066]

Thanks for always being so transparent with us! I love your process. I think that I do something pretty similar when I create a new composition. I do not think you are cheating. Drawing from reference is part of creating or visual library, so indeed it's a great tip!

[@peregrination3643]

One of the first things I thought of when I took a little library class on creative open AI resources was, "Hey, this can help me visualize custom compositions when I can't find photos of exactly what I want." For writing, too, I've limited it's use to the brainstorm stage because it gets that "blank page" mental stumping out of the way. Anything more refined...it's very obvious that's where AI needs lots of human help, which is fine by me. The help mostly matters in the early stage to form ideas. I've also been reluctant to try digital illustration. No problem with photoediting in the same software, and I have a tablet pen, but I've found digital drawing intimidating. So it's nice to have reminders like this video that it's technically not difficult and it's just another medium to get used to.

[@moonlitlain]

This was amazing to watch 😫 the shading part was beyond helpful, thank you!

[@sansritisingh5649]

This was super helpful.. Even I get stuck sometimes and feel like need a reference that can help me with my ideas.. Thank you so much Mimi for being transparent and sharing these steps.. I admire your work and a big fan of yours

[@straydogstrut115]

This was such a useful video. Thanks for sharing🥰 I'm watching this off the back of having watched your process video from a year ago, where you used Milanote, and its interesting to see how you're adopting new technologies as part of your workflow. Using generative AI to tailor your mood board is such a clever approach. I think using AI to support, rather than replace, creative activities, is the best attitude to this emerging technology. It doesn't take away from your existing skills and all the creative decisions you're making. Those sleepy mice are so cute!😍 Thanks for breaking this down in a way that makes it so approachable and inspiring❤

[@jeannettesalazar6442]

I love your art style. 😊❤

[@diaryofdakshaaa]

This was a pleasure to watch ❤

[@MarielKylle]

what i get really stuck on as an beginner-intermediate illustrator is how long i ‘think’ a piece should take and when to decide a piece is ‘finished.’

[@evelynnzc]

You're such an inspiration, your style is so cute ❤✨️

[@FaithfulEncourager]

Beautiful designs ❤ and amazing tutorial videos! God bless you 🙏

[@Jobrandstetter]

Sooo cute !❤😊This was such a helpful video for me !🎉 Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful, inspiring illustration tips ! 🧡💙💛❤️💫👍😊

[@MimimooIllustration]

So glad you enjoyed it! 💖

[@ilkaschulze644]

So cute, Mimmi! 🧡

[@AnniiDays]

Thank you for sharing. I do not have procreate and i absolutely love your style, thank you!

[@lineswali]

Hey Mimi! Thanks for another great video. I love how you share everything about your process. I think that it doesn't matter how many layers you use. I had an art instructor who said that there are never too many lines when finiding your gesture. And I think that applies to digital illustration as well - never too many layers. And I guess it depends largely on one's illustration style as well :) Eager to see the next video. Cheers!

[@MimimooIllustration]

I love that, what great advice from your instructor!

[@clz5943]

Love this demo so much!

[@pony1848]

I really like your style

[@made_by_margreeth]

[@marziehroudbari-r3b]

very good👏👏👏👏

[@mariadolotova7969]

Lots of layers me too!😄

[@BiankeyeDesigns]

Sooo warm and cute 🥰

[@artconnection4913]

Informative but plz explain I can't understand to handle layers while coloring where do we do clipping mask

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so fascinating ☺☺

[@CozyArtShop]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@luxeriousnsociable]

what kind of brush tool did you use?

[@harsnametabligh4665]

Do you use ctrl Z?

[@cloudjolie]

That is so adorable❤how do you make your own brushes?

[@MimimooIllustration]

I recently made a video about making brushes 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6HUXnh5Zs-hmtE

[@cloudjolie]

@@MimimooIllustration thank you😍

[@LisaMischelle]

because of the sequence of steps you used did you learn this in Uni perhaps? or was it just something that came to you as you taught yourself how to do this? Did you say you were self taught? I don't remember what you said in that last video. 😬😁

[@teddybearmei8713]

personally i stay away from using ai as even references because alot if not all was made off of the backs of other creators and i just get icky when i see them and could never see them as a tool i see them as everyones stolen work put into the image and it just feels wrong to do tha to fellow creatives. If ai was made by consenting people id be all for it but i just cannot.

[@geisalopes84]

It's beautiful. Besides, it was your idea so I don't think it's cheating. I use AI to create references, I'm a beginner but I believe there's no right or wrong level to use references. :)
