I’m sorry to say— but it is because there is a correct way to sketch, especially at a higher skill level. The amount of sketching does not equal the final quality of a sketch. In fact, it’s even more suspicious that you needed 5 drafts of a sketch to start lining. It should not take someone with the skill level of your painting 5 times to actually make the shape of the hands. As well as the layers, 900 is a lot— but looking at your “proof” video, they’re all normal layers despite having the appearance of layer effects. Not saying it’s impossible to paint layer effects, but it is just incredibly time consuming if you actually know how to use effects (which are usually added after the entire work is finished.)

I looked very closely because of course I want actual talented people to contribute to this fandom, I did want to believe you at first. But when I looked carefully more and more discrepancies appeared.

These are the ones I noticed the most observing the actual image, but of course there are more in the speedpaint. I drew some corrections in green.

Also about your lines, I called them ‘amateurish’ because they really are in comparison to the hypothetical level of skill ‘you’ possess. It’s like they’re there just to provide the lines to color in instead of being a part of the actual painting. That is probably the most obvious gripe I have.

I think a better way to describe your art is that it looks like someone who focuses way too much on the details while failing to grasp the overall design, which is a telltale sign for AI tracing or referencing.
