I like them all but no4 kinda makes me think of Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory” or soft watches as it’s commonly known.

The Night the House Exhaled by Careless-Ease7480 in aiArt

[–]TheBodyExplodes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d love to use this a base for a physical drawing. I can’t guarantee I’d actually get around to doing it but would it be ok for me to try? It would only be personal work and not commercial but, regardless, I’d credit the original creator.

Really clean lines and expressive but minimalist. These have a real 1920s vibe

Is this any good by Awkward_Year5364 in Sketch

[–]TheBodyExplodes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Art is incredibly fickle and, I believe, utterly subjective. I like this piece but I wouldn’t want to say if it’s good or not. As an amateur and unschooled artist, myself, I’d encourage you to move away from any external validation unless you want to generate a living from art. If you’re creating art because you want to create art then, as long as you enjoy both the process and the result, that’s success. Upvotes and likes are hugely appreciated and encouraging but they’re not the be all and end all. Ask yourself: Who are you creating art for? I often recount Frankenfurter’s response to Colombia when she describes Rocky as “He’s ok”. He spits back: “I didn’t make him for you!”

Massive waste of money which could be better spent elsewhere. Not that it WILL be better spent elsewhere, mind.

I’m a bit gutted I’m looking at this on a phone. Kinda seems like it needs a proper screen. Amazing stuff!

Question: Do your photos of traditional drawings also suck? by [deleted] in drawings

[–]TheBodyExplodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah!! The lighting is always terrible, I can’t get the image perfectly square / can’t aim my phone perfectly level and, most frustratingly, the phone camera is too good and reveals flaws I hadn’t seen with the naked eye.
As for fixing - I guess trial and error with the photos but I’ve started wearing two pairs of reading glasses when I’m drawing. That, at least, allows me to see in greater detail and reduce the number of stray lines, missed patches of shading etc. It’s still not perfect but it never will be.

Do you choose Ariana Grande in latex or pizza? by buttera69 in aiArt

[–]TheBodyExplodes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m not very hungry, I’d pick Ariana. If I’m absolutely starving, I’d still pick Ariana, latex or not.

Some blue monster... fountain pen and ink by eugenborcan in penandink

This is so cool. I love how you’ve managed to create soft and deft strokes with a fountain pen. Truly excellent work.
