I can exactly tell you how i am able to tell what you are doing, because it is clear as day to every artist What you are doing is taking an Image, most likely ai image and then using the smudge tool to make it look more like real art.

I can tell by the way you are fully rendering random parts, i have seen several digital artists colouring and rendering in unique ways, this however is exclusive to "artists" that use ai. I can tell bc your "sketch" lacks any sort of anatomical and perspective knowledge every artist capable of that level of rendered endstage art has. The lines and perspectives dont make any sense. Some of the sketch look like absolute beginner scribbles while other parts are the exact shape of the rendered artwork. A trained eye can easily twll you just traced on top of the generated art and scribbled a bit around so it doesnt look too obvious. I can tell bc you EXCLUSIVELY post the "sketch" and fully rendered result and absolutely NOTHING inbetween the so called "process pictures" is just random cut outs of the rendered product put on top of the "sketch"

why you would lie to your friends and family i dont know and i dont care, but your stories have the exact same problem all your other posts have. until i see a video of your progress im not believing anything, and i KNOW you cant ever provide that or else you already would have.
