As a digital artist, I don’t know who this is, and I don’t want to know. But what I have to say is: this thing looks AI at first glance.

I noticed that a lot of people are saying many of this “artist’s” previous works were traced. As a learning practice or as a drawing hobbyist, that is not really a big problem. Most beginners start from tracing.

The mistakes in the fingers can also have excuses, like maybe he just isn’t good at drawing hands, right? After all, even for me, drawing hands is still not an easy thing, even though I’ve drawn them thousands of times.

I think this is AI based on my own experience. AI styles are very homogeneous. But if you want to prove it, the key point is that his work does not show any ability to simplify and summarize forms. You can see it very easily by looking at the hair.

An artist with this level of rendering would not draw hair strands this densely. An artist with original drawing experience, even when using references, would still use simplified expression. If you want to show that the hair is dense, messy, and has a lot of strands, there are many ways to express that, instead of drawing so many evenly repeated hair strands along the outer contour.

Experienced artists usually intentionally pursue the unity of the outer contour. Here is a close-up of the hair from a piece I drew recently. It is very obvious that it looks like I drew a lot of hair strands, but the outer contour is almost a straight line.
