I'll do that at some point and @ you then!

For the moment, the big thing to remember is that learning a specific style is very similar to learning to draw in the first place:

You have to do studies.

There's simply no two ways about it! I would recommend browsing AI galleries like this one and looking for pieces you feel are Especially AI Looking to do brief studies of.

If you've never done a study on purpose before, it's just when you do your best to re-create a specific image, such as a photo or model, focusing on one aspect of it, such as lighting-on-fabric. This is a great tutorial about how to do it on purpose rather than by accident as you practice.

So, for AI styling, you might do a 20 minute study of "the way hair and fabric are drawn with the same lighting" or "skin having the same glossy texture as objects."

Straight AI outputs with no post-processing work done have a few other "style" indicators that you could learn, such as:

Using the same amount of highlighting and shadow for everything in the image rather than changing lighting based on relationship to source and reflectiveness of material

Asymmetry of accessories, such as buttons on one side and ties on the other

Multiple poses for limbs and hair attached to the same torso and head

Body parts repeating to fill a space

Blending and smearing rigid repeating patterns (eg teeth smearing into lips, books smearing into shelves, stripes wobbling irregularly)

i want to learn how to draw in a way that looks like ai art. i want every one of my posts to be accused of being ai because the hair looks a little weird and the clothes don’t quite make sense

#the 2nd and 3rd works were supposed to be in the same style as my bad dog hands #however they went in completely different directions #obviously.#figured I’d still post them all together #learning to go with the flow of how a work ends up turning out rather than getting mad it’s not following the idea I had in my head is good #saved me from scrapping a fuck load of works #still wanna do more bad dog hands. idk why it’s impossible for me now #my art #digital art #artists on tumblr #art masterpost #surreal art #digital painting

don't think I'm not still obsessing over 7-12

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 12 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 12 spoilers #sorry it's even scribblier than usual :') hopefully my chickenscratch is legible #anyway come here and join me in the corner where we go to be embarrassing about anime characters #just. between riddle and trey's dreams i've been thinking a lot about how #trey knew this kid for like two months when he was nine and then never really got over him or how their friendship ended #which. honestly. understandable given the circumstances #and then when they finally met again riddle acted like they'd never met before and neither he nor trey ever intended trey to be his vice #but every time riddle talks about his childhood post-incident it's basically #'oh yeah i constantly thought about trey and che'nya and fantasized about still being friends with them! this is fine and normal'#(there's a bit in one of his birthday cards where he talks about crossword puzzles and shit man that one got me)#idk. i can't put this into words very well #just...the implications that riddle was actively resisting trey's friendship #(presumably because it ended SUPER badly last time and he's learned that if he shows he wants something it gets taken away from him)#and trey had to work REALLY hard to just to get to the point they were at by the time canon starts #that was progress somehow #y'all can call him boring all you want but trey's defining feature really is that he keeps being like #'everything's fine :) this isn't a big deal :) i don't care that much'#(trey on the inside: THIS IS THE BIGGEST DEAL THAT I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT AND I WILL NEVER LET IT GO)#anyway i continue to be absolutely murdered by the timing of riddlepunzel directly after this #riddle's line about not wanting to keep standing in front of a door that's never going to open...#hey. hey silly gacha game about anime disney boys.#you are not actually allowed to do this to me #oh shit oh damn i'm out of tags and i haven't even talked about cater yet. NO BUT I HAVE LOTS OF FEELINGS THERE TOO --#(i am crushed under a falling safe looney tunes style)

ill stop drawing yuuji slouching with his hands in his hoodie pockets when i'm dead and buried

#my art #hina.sketch #jujutsu kaisen #jjk fanart #jjk #yuji itadori #gojo satoru #nobara kugisaki #fushiguro megumi #riko amanai #added colour this week as a treat :>#2 sketch sheets this week wuaw idk if i was on smth yesterday but sketching came very easy #tried the thing where u lay down blobby shapes first and then sketch around them #and i think it looks real good w the thinner lines #idk if i prefer the thin sharp lines or the thick soft ones fr these?#i like how they both look for different reasons #the thin lines let me b very . swoopy and quick and i feel like as a result th characters come out a lot more stylized #whereas th soft brush moreso mimics what my 'finished' style looks like a lot more #learning things abt my me and my sketch process this is good :3

#he’s really giving maya in this I think #I drew this for a meme but I didn’t like the other one so much so just a cutie patootie instead #I’ve decided I wanna learn how to draw “anime”#like for real though #side tangent alert but when I was a kid obviously anime and manga was a huge inspo #but I always remember like when I was trying to move towards a more Disney or even realistic style people would ask if I was “drawing anime”#but I wanna do it for real now #my style always felt kind of half anime-ish #idk what I’m even saying now it’s 1am and I gotta get up in a few hours #my art #ace attorney #Phoenix wright #phoenix wright ace attorney

Who is this sassy lost child?

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #a-yuan #A-Yuan knows how to to utilise his big wet eyes to get treats. What a little legend.#The crowd comments about LWJ being 'daddy' and WWX being 'the mother' are a little too 'fan-service bait' for me.#So I am personally reimagining it as another layer of 'misinterpretation of a more complex situation' commentary.#I like how the different styles of interacting with children WWX an LWJ exhibit say so much about their own childhoods.#We - human beings in the real world - take two lessons from how we were parented: What we valued and what we wish we had.#LWJ leaning into indulgence is him pushing back against his own childhood of asceticism. It's something he didn't have - so he gives it.#WWX on the other hand has been *so* defined by his drive to indulge. And here he is the restrictor!#It takes a bit more to see what's going on here. The factors are not singular.#but to keep it in theme with LWJ; I'd propose it is partly his way of establishing structure when he did not have it as a child.#Both approches are a way of saying 'I didn't have this and I wish I did.'#With LWJ it's pretty obvious why...but WWX? What is at your core? What is your regret towards a lack of restriction?#Or...What benefit do you think it gives this child to learn the harsh lessons of going without?#Did it make you strong when you were a child? Do you think it is just the nature of the world and we all must learn it?#How we interact with children is such a fascinating topic to delve into our psychology and neuroses.#In a more light hearted turn of topic:#WWX confirmed to be 'person taking the car to the drive through to order one black coffee for himself' on the triangle spectrum.#LWJ is saying 'we have food at home' as he is opening his wallet ready to order for everyone.#(Technically this is comic 213 but yippee! We are in the 200's now! Thank you all so much for reading and cheering me on!)

That one cutscene where Kris talks to Tenna alone makes me a bit sad...

I've also realized that even if I draw Kris entirely normally, as long as they're next to Tenna they look like a tiny child the size of a pea. This can also make me a bit sad if I try hard enough

#my art #deltarune #utdr #deltarune spoilers #tenna #kris dreemurr #tenna deltarune #mr ant tenna #Somehow a THIRD distinct style i have drawn tenna in but I think this one's probably the best i've managed so far.#the 3d reference cube had been a clever idea but i don't draw anything else in that careful perspective...So it seemed strange...#And in general it's easier to just wing it and not think excessively hard about how his head should be lopsided.#Maybe eventually I will be fully cured of the “It looks like a different person drew all of these” disease regarding him...#dt #On the topic of this cutscene i completely missed it my first playthrough #I only saw it while I was watching my friend play chapter 3 and i was like Aw...........Aw....................................#I have been cursed since that day. Somehow even more cursed than I was immediately before learning of that cutscene.#Also can everyone ignore how it seems like he has a different number of fingers in the 2nd one its really hard to draw interlocked hands.#Just pretend the missing ones are being covered up by the visible ones I don't want to deal with it.

Giving mentor figures as if this AU that’s been silently rotting away in my head isn’t complicated enough already

#chiligerart #doodle #orion pax #d 16 #b 127 #senator shockwave #terminus #bumblebee #tf one #transformers one #transformers #maccadam #old song new lyrics #I learned about terminus and HAD to include him somehow I love him #figuring out how to fit shockwave into the tfone style is a touchy #*toughie #terminus was easier somehow

Entered tumblr to a shitton of notifications on a drawing I posted a while back and it reminded me I have these quick cubist narumitsu designs I did once. Thought you all might enjoy it, plus I don't want to let my account die (life is a bit hectic and I'm not having time to draw right now).

#phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #digital illustration #narumitsu #i am trying to learn how to do more realist styles but shapes are my one true calling #shrimp's drawings
