Cory KerrDon't Ruin Yourself with AI

</IsmellaNEEEEEEEEEERD>A recent discussion with an artist friend and having read how AI affects artists in forms, made me think back to a point was trying to make months ago:
No Art is bad.
I don't think you can be bad at creativity.
You create because you love it, and you love it because its good. You've loved the the messy sketch and you loved the finished render. You loved the draft and you loved the poem. You loved the hum and you loved the chorus.
Not everything must end finished and polished, we sometimes need a stepping stone for another vision.
Something I've been thinking about is how especially now with so many people using ai because "I could never make anything close as good as this.". I obviously don't condemn usage of ai, but i can see how frustrating it can be to try and do something creative only to find out someone half your age can create tangible visions. Its embarrassing!
But i think that's why we need guides that don't only help improve art, but are really just beginning.
A "help i just picked my first instrument/ software/ pen" kind of tutorial.
I've considered doing this for art tutorials, going from a stick figure, to basics of shapes, to how to get somewhat feasible proportion and so on.
I know how to do art because I've been doing it for TWO DECADES, and god how i loathed some tutorials.
"Here's how to draw hands!"
With no lower layer for the skeleton being shown. Just one finger after another appearing. Or if you got that you have no idea how to connect it to the body.
Maybe it qas just bad luck, but i had a terrible time with tutorials.

Just ranting a bit because it would appear that I have a tendonitis developing in my wrist and I've a work in progress that I really like and I can't really do anything properly and it's so annoying. Gonna have to rest my right hand for a couple of days to see if it goes away on its own, if it doesn't I have to go to the doctors which I don't love either. Bodies can be so annoying #ArtRant #tendonitis

Real_JamesCainSomeone commented on one of my photographs that it was a “beautiful capture”. It made me feel like it was just a snapshot. Some photographs out there are so digitally manipulated they no longer seem to be real images; they are still stunning, but can you still call them photographs? I honestly don’t know. Photographers have been manipulating images from day one, instead of the computer, it was the dark room. I guess I take umbrage that if my photograph isn’t presented with a thousand filters, appears with a cursive watermark, and isn’t artistic in some way, that my photograph is somehow invalid. #Photography #Photographer #PhotographerRant #Art #ArtAdvice #ArtRant

Тр3тий СергеевичПричина №1, почему я забросил рисование: аффтар - ленивая жопа.
Причина №2, почему я забросил рисование: боязнь референсов. Не знаю, почему, но я испытываю дискомфорт, когда пытаюсь рисовать что-то по референсам. В голове это воспринимается как "копирка", а это сразу начинает подавлять мотивацию. Даже советы мастеров ("Не надо бояться референсов!") не помогают.
