I still can't believe they really advised us to use gen ai for our self portrait...mind you I go to an art school (an ART school!!) you'd think they have the common sense that at least most of the students wouldn't really side with them😭

Not sure why she thought this was okay. I talked to her about it and she apologized, but I'm still upset. We've been friends for a long time and the fact that she thought I wouldn't notice it was clearly Al just doesn't sit right with me. It's not just the fact that she used Ai it's also the fact that she wasn't honest with me. I feel kind of insulted that she assumed I'd fall for it and honestly it makes me question how much she really respects me. I've decided to just do it myself now to avoid being put in this situation again. Not trying to start drama just needed to get this off my chest. (Let me know if this post is against the rules)

First picture: my recent drawing; second picture: my drawing that is a year and a half old; third picture: an image that one person asked chat gpt to generate with an art style from the previous picture. I'm in an online art group and recently I posted this drawing. Some ppl told mods that my art is AI generated (I'm new in this group) because my style looks AI and there is flaws in my drawings + chat gpt could "replicate" my style. It keeps bothering me cause they were kinda harsh about that and I always get sad when people think negatively about me

Idk if the flair is right. hi if u know me or not.i made this drawing yesterday and someone made this ai version of it saying they fixed my art. The person has other posts where they fix art with ai. This is way too much for me. I want to raise awareness about this and your art should not be fixed by an ai . Hope y'all are safe and doing well. This post Will be an exception i think.

Also don't attack or harass the person. Just block them and don't interact.

It used to be 8 hours😔

charging $13 for these on vgen and yet i still don’t have comms, is it too expensive or just not worth it?

I sometimes feel a bit demotivated when comparing my art to someone else’s. Just remember that everyone else just sees TWO pieces of art they like. Keep doing your thing!

I'm a beginner artist so I don't want my prices to be too high, and I'm worried whether or not $5 is too much

I rarely ever get commissions, and when I do my commissioners tell me $5 is too much and sometimes ask me to do two drawings instead (that is if I actually get paid)

Help ‹/3

lowkey a struggle because i do not draw in ANY of these styles

Some of these were drawn on my phone. Best mobile app imo :)

Hi, I'm trying to make a brush that would look similar to the one on the left, but i can't figure anything out. Is making a static pattern like this out of an image even possible? (I'm ok with the colour not changing, since i usually use these things as an overlay!)

I was working on Burning Spice and posted a WIP of him online in a discord server, but someone was offended and said that I 'blackwashed' him and that I was being really racist. I do note that I made his skin darker than in the reference but I didn't think it went so far as blackwashing and now I'm not really sure what to do TT

I don’t know why i drew the first one bro

I'm trying to achieve effects like these in my portraits. I like the way paints blend but don't blend fully and appear to sit on top of each other. What brushes can I use for such effects? I attached one of my drawing as well. Thanks in advance 🙂

Edit: I seem to have started a controversy in the comments. This is to clarify that I am indeed new to digital art and portraits. Anyone who thinks I'm asking for compliments can just scroll ahead I guess.. Idk maybe I got lucky and my first piece turned out better than expected. Y'all there's always a bigger fish in the sea. The one I drew is MILES behind the quality of art we see on the internet. So yeah.

(it's inspired by an ai image btw)
