I’m back-Here’s a new life

Michele B. Naquaiya

I’ve been away for a long time. Health issues. Busy house issues. Overwhelming times. I am happy to say it’s been a long haul but I’ve squared away my energy, my meds, my lifestyle.

I’m having a lot of fun with AI. It’s been a rewarding time and I plug away every day. Here’s a drawing I did today. I made up the phrase and then made a prompt from it. I made quite a few AI versions of this before I realized that this is not necessarily an ocean fish. 😍

Draw and paint analog vs draw and paint digital… What’s the difference?

This is my 2 minute sketch in pencil of my friend’s little corgi dog. As you can see, it’s super quick because all I wanted to do was to get his likeness down fast. If I’m lucky, I can pick up some of his personality. Notice the stance and point of view of the little guy. In the following shots, you will see that the AI engine has kept to the sketch, just applying various styles and filters to it. The point is that to get from the pencil sketch to the AI finished work is this: it’s the same image done digitally instead of manually. There is an additional trick about AI is that you don’t even need to make a pencil sketch first. You can describe what you want through words, and of course this is a prompt: aka specific verbal instructions to tell the engine what to do.
On a personal level, I am experimenting by reworking lots of my old art into AI to expand my knowledge. What I’m finding is it’s a lot of fun. You don’t have to if you don’t want to. Isn’t that nice. Here are some versions of our little corgi friend.
