@Sau_Wolf Yes, and they are so easy to spot. Recently, I saw a poster for a festival in my city, another poster for a DJ/Dancing event, and a "pet toileting/grooming salon"(sorry, I miss vocabulary for this type of shop) with a AIgen logo...
@davidrevoy There are literally a bunch of calendars, notebooks, and so on, and all this using some nameless Ai models that have nothing but the sinister valley effect, and they buy this slag.

@davidrevoy I watched the video before reading your comment so I was already thinking along the lines of, "oh wow sketching with blobs of color, I wonder what the tradeoffs are vs line art".
Now I'm really curious how many different traditions of... for lack of vocabulary, "order of operations" for constructing a piece of art there are.I would guess a lot but I'm very ignorant in this area.
@kevingranade Thank you. Your intuition is right: a lot! But the main family branches are (imho):
- Sketches/line colored then optionally painted over (the colored drawing workflow)
- Greyscale painting then recolored (the grisaille)
- Direct painting ('Alla prima' family), the one here.I started painting this way 11 years ago ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93lMLEuxSLk ) but I went back to colored drawing because I couldn't paint perspective, anatomy and pose.
Maybe now, with more skill, I can revisit.

@davidrevoy this is beautiful and fascinating to watch, like a dream coming into focus, the opposite way round to how I've been trying to draw
(is this video on your website?)
@ifixcoinops Thank you! Yes, it approach the scene with big blocks of sort of Nintendo64 low poly resolution ( a pass named 'blocking' ), then directly on the top a paint-over with smaller brush, and layers of glazing to adjust the tones, light and shadows.
Yes, it's on my server, but I don't have yet a front-end php/html/css page to list the making-of (on my TODO!). The directory is here:

@davidrevoy I have a couple of illustrators in my family (partner, nephew) and I'm always insisting in that, to my humble taste, the more artistic, expressive, interesting, poetic, etc., version of their draws, is that which they call drafts, sketches, etc. I understand the ideas of clean and polished, but for me the magic is mostly in that primitive or improvised phase, where the creative search is still an uncut gem, let's say... I guess, tastes. But for me, seems like live music, let's say.

Thank you. I sort of learn more and more to appreciate this small "built-in' mistakes that I have hard time to correct while sketching or painting directly (eg. Like on this ballpoint pen sketch on my sketchbook). Those 'honnest mistakes' due to the process itself and skill is a good "human made" signature in our times. When I post fix my art too much, I get comment suspicious that I used AIgen now anyway.

Timelapse/Making-of video: https://www.peppercarrot.com/0_sources/miniFantasyTheater/making-of/038.mp4 It's not often that I paint directly from scratch with no sketch or line art, so I wanted to share this one. It's a risky technique, and I'm even eyeballing all the perspective, no grids here. I also avoid blending and smoothing, showing the brushstrokes on the canvas more clearly. I'm doing this to incorporate 'errors made naturally by humans', and I like it. It feels closer to the spontaneous style I like in my ballpoint pen sketches.
@davidrevoy Your process seems almost as if your molding clay, refining the forms until they fit, but instead of clay you mold color.

I guess is in general the aesthetics of preference to me. But this illustration in particular is awesome.
