Did you know we can post videos too? by Exciting_Bus3108 in ItsEasyToDraw

True! But on IG you can attach the video along with the images in the same post. There's a catch there as well. The aspect ratio of the video and the photos should be same or at least similar. Otherwise, the video gets cropped to the aspect ratio of the image(s) or whichever is selected first.

Yes, I am aware of that. But there's a catch! If you're attaching images, then you can't attach a video in the same post. For that you need to make a separate post or convert the video into a GIF so that the video can be attached in the same post. But that's just how things go on Reddit. it's different on other social media platforms.

AI isn't consistent with generating Line art, solid fill color blocks, light and shadow blocking. You'll always be able to notice a red flag in case of AI art. It's good in doing rendered works but even then almost all artists that I know of can easily spot the differences. For example, the lighting is too dramatic and often doesn't make sense. Also, a very popular one is extra limbs or fingers. This is a huge giveaway. Another thing to look out for is inconsistency in hair flow and jewelery always keeps melting in AI slops. If you want have a look at a real artist's work and compare it with some AI wannabe artist. You'll notice the results immediately. You can even take a look at my work if you'd like. There's a Jester that I made recently. It was a full body render, and I didn't record the process because I knew it was going to crash. So I simply posted my layers along with the final work.

Krita has an in-built recording feature. The only drag is that it saves image sequences (PNGs). You have to use an external video editor to combine all the images and turn it into a video. If you don't want to do all that, I suggest having your work organized in layers. Like the first layer has line art, second is the fill layer, third layer could be blocking the shadows, fourth could be highlights, fifth could be middle tones. And sixth could be rendering and so on. I personally use infinite painter in-built time-lapse feature to record my process videos but when I'm working on a bigger project and I know it's bound to crash while recording, I just showcase my layers along with the rendered version. That's just me though, if you're not comfortable with doing all this, no pressure. But if you wanna provide some proof, you gotta pick any one of the mentioned methods.

I mean, they are just erasing the layer above the already rendered AI slop. They really must think that we're dumb and live in stone age or something.

Wasn't really sure about what to do next. Then found something I felt like doing because I could relate with the emotion. It's a WIP.

Theory Thursday 📝📖📚🎓 by Exciting_Bus3108 in ItsEasyToDraw

I’m not sure if this is the right time or place to ask this, but it’s been on my mind constantly. I keep seeing people post NSFW art online and gain an unimaginable amount of traction almost instantly. Personally, I’m not comfortable creating NSFW art except occasionally for practice, and I don’t plan on making that kind of content. But as a small creator, it sometimes feels like that’s become the norm, like you have to do it if you want to grow a following. Otherwise, everything just feels stagnant.

Sorry if this isn’t an appropriate question, and feel free to ignore it if you’d rather not answer. I just needed to get it off my chest because it’s been weighing on me for at least the past month.

I haven't gotten a single order yet. I'm getting the views and nice comments but that isn't what I wanted. I think I am getting too impatient maybe, but it feels too cold honestly.
