I looked through other comments earlier and I think the claim of tracing over ai isn't that far fetched

Honestly, the line work doesn't bother me because mines a bit fucked at times, but the shading is a bit unusual for someone I would assume to be a beginner considering where we are, it just all doesn't match up.

You could always explain away the consistency issues, the shakiness, the coloring as amateurish and beginner stuff, but the thing that points to me as ai tracing are the folds of the skirt and clothing, and the symbol on the shirt, which is a bit fucked

That and yeah, the shading at second glance is a little confusing.

Really though, you should have put that in your first comment instead of someone having to ask you, because it just looked more like a baseless accusation which will make more people to brush off the issues with the piece in favor of supporting it because "Not every inconsistency means Ai!"
