If it is, the hallucination demands that I enjoy drawing more than prompting. It's how I was designed and simulated.
It actually sucks. If prompting was fulfilling I'd be all over it, but it bores me to tears and so back to the fucking pencil I go.';

Pretty good job even if traced. Still need to work on thoseadk2 hands though';

I don't trace them because (other than my brain not learning much from tracing anything) the anatomy is shit, but I do reference them alongside normal references. The AI I use recognizes the main 2 styles I want to learn to draw, so it's been quite helpful for lookdeving. If it weren't for AI, I probably wouldn't have as much motivation to draw daily as I do now.
Fundamentally I don't disagree with the anti-AI crowd about the dangers, but it is kinda annoying that you can't be transparent about referencing AI because if people see that AI "tainted" your process, even if a human being actually did the work, you're still viewed on the same level as lazy grifters who've never touched a pencil flooding the internet with eldritch slop. Though as annoying as it is, I suppose there's a little bit of self-satisfaction in anti-AI people praising art without any idea AI was involved.';
