I'm the same, my drawings with no aid are terrible. When I was a kid I learned the grid technique to replicate image, than I got pretty good at replication just by looking at the reference. Then I got my Amiga and Deluxe Paint and I started replicating images digitally. Merely through inaccuracy in replication I sometimes have managed to create slightly better version than the reference.

I don't give a fuck I have always just created these images for me to coom.

Pic related was created 30 years ago.';

'>>436268
dude, are you telling me you could create the middle pic from my drawing with clicking few buttons in some software?

I didn't even know you could use image reference with SD. It's been in my todo list ever since I saw first text-to-image memes emerge but haven't yet had the time to dig into it.

Which interface/program/plugin you used for creating this?';

'>>436288
yes. but not entirely yes.
it's made with stable diffusion. I am using the web interface (which is a very common add on) for some convenience.

99.99% of stuff that makes the image what it is comes from the program. I can draw but certainly don't know how to paint like this. BUT I feel like those 99.99% would only be worth maybe 70% without a real persons (in this case my) time investment to refine. And I don't say this to self congratulate, since the skill required of me was seriously close to zero. compare that to the amount of hours it takes to handdraw something like this or even learn the required skills to get there. At this very moment of machine learning development it is not yet just 'clicking a few buttons in some software'. (don't get me wrong I am sure we will get there eventually (and honestly probably sooner than later)).

so it kinda is just 'pressing a few buttons', but it also takes more time than saying it with those words makes it sound.

kek

>I liked your girl.

I have been trying to stick to the original as close as possible, but it made me so slow I decided giving the program some liberties after a while. In this case that made her lose some face length, which I actually enjoyed in your original, but oh well...
But I tried pretty hard preserving some other qualities yours evokes in my eyes.

It's not easy but it can help to realize that what is percieved as transparent, translucent, chatoyant, etc. isn't just about light but also motion, whether it's an object revealing those qualities as it moves, or slight movements of the observer causing those perceptions to change.
Since motion is related to time that means that besides trying to make what amounts to a snapshot that freezes any motion, more time observing that snapshot will reveal how it *doesn't* act like the real thing.

So you have to approach the problem not just of creating illusions of light using opaque materials, but also you need to create illusions that mimic the effect that persistence of vision has on visual perception, which is more like a tiny series of frames in a movie than a single snapshot.
The standard simple cartoonist trick to suggest motion and persistence of vision is motion lines, when you do transparent/ translucent/shimmering materials adding a similar suggestion within your light can help a lot.
Consider a typical representation of glass like picrel, the edge reflections that appear as dark concentric lines are very similar to simple cartoon motion lines, and suggest the ever changing reflections as your position changes as you view it, even as it is immobile.';

'>>446324
It's not specifically translucency, but for a good variety of examples of how extremely simple motion lines can make even cartoonish representations of non- opaque materials seem very realistic, do a search for David Hockney's pool paintings';
