Though I use GIMP
If anyone wants to learn to draw I recomend draw a box
I use it to fit drawing lessons into my schedule when I can
And also don’t force yourself to do multiple lessons in one day if you don’t enjoy it, take a break from the lessons if you aren’t enjoying them anymore otherwise you’ll burn yourself out pretty seriously
I don’t get the AI hate. Why is photoshop, a tool made by an evil corporation, so much better?
Substitute GIMP for photoshop. Also you can pirate photoshop
It’s art without an artist. Or maybe rather more accurately it’s huge amounts of other peoples art put through a blender and reconstituted into a solid block of art product. Actually, yeah, it’s the equivalent of spam, the tinned meat product. It has its uses, but it doesn’t taste good to most people, and there are a few die hard fans.
Doing image editing/compositing/art yourself is just more genuine. It doesn’t have to be the adobe product, there’s tons of editors and art programs out there. Stumbling through gimp patching and editing a meme together gives the end result some charm imo. YMMV, but that’s how I see it and I think a lot of others do to. Where AI generated imagery shines is utilitarian areas. Generating tokens for npcs in ttrpgs, rapidly iterating through concepts for a design, that sort of thing.
There are artists, but they are using math instead of photoshop.
The math behind machine learning is more beautiful than most art.
Forget “Netflix and Chill”, it’s “Gimp and Friends” now
Or “Krita and a Cruller”.
Batman is the enemy.
Photoshop has used various forms of AI for over a decade. You sound exactly like traditional artists when digital art was new lol
I can crack the protection on photoshop and just pirate it; how do I kidnap people and crack them to be my friends in a similar manner?
Compliments and repeating what they say back to them while asking questions, I’ve found.
Compliments and repeating what they say back to them while asking questions? So cool!
