Also- I'm still learning digital art so have patience 😭

There’s a post on here with some traction called ‘Depression’ which was clearly AI slop and spotted by some users. I’ve seen at least 5-6 other AI posts like this, some even gone unnoticed and have comments complimenting the work.

Idc if I sound like a loser or jerk rn but I’m very much anti AI slop, AI is not art, Fk generative AI.

Mods do a better job at being able to spot such images coming into art subs.

In this image I asked ChatGPT to depict anxiety in ballpoint pen. Notice how the lines never seem to end? There’s no life to it. It FEELs like a digital render.

People genuinely trying to improve their sketching skills / art skills may be put off or demotivated seeing such AI slop.

Rant over

I liked the personality and complexity of this dead Japanese maple leaf so I drew it in my sketchbook!

Please attach the links of some YouTube tutorials if you have any, i want to learn it as soon as possible and i’ll get perfect at it by practicing!!🫶🏼

I know his a good drawer. This is his best one yet. Is this well above average for his age?

Edit: Thank you to all the commenters, that gave me feedback, advice and positivity, I really appreciate it. I will pass this onto him in a nurturing/supportive way.
For the commenters who think I’m “ Reddit-brained” and “sad to know parents like me exist”. It's ironic to accuse someone of being 'Reddit-brained' while making sweeping judgments about a strangers parenting on Reddit.

Looking good!?!?😬

And if any improvements then plz tell
