Drawing Like ME - TUTORIAL

It involves knowing a bit of drawing. I do anime in my skill-level so please understand leveling up as an artist would be the real first step, this is how to use ART ai as a gpt sort of clone.

DISCLAIMER:

I use AI in my art process, employing techniques like img2img, Canny, or pose2img controlnet processes.

My use of AI is aimed at accelerating the art process, NOT REPLACE IT.

If you're not interested in integrating AI tools to expedite your artistic workflow, this explanation may not be suitable for you. Thank you for understanding!

Step 1: Setting the Scene

Objective: I aim to extend my artistic abilities, not replace them. I fine-tune the AI to adopt simple, painterly styles that complement my unique flair.
Preparation: Before activation, I precisely define all visual elements that the AI needs to consider, from clothing and lighting to specific character traits like boob size. Tip: Explore Danbooru.donmai.us to master the art of tagging effectively. Employ descriptive adjectives like "detailed" while ensuring simplicity. For this artwork, I utilized an unmodified model from Civit, details of which are provided later.

Step 2: Sketching

This initial sketch sets the foundational composition and outlines of the piece, guiding the subsequent steps.

Step 3: Coloring

Color application is crucial. Here, color theory is vigorously applied, influencing the final piece's mood and impact significantly. This stage establishes the artwork's visual language.

Step 4: AI Integration

Here, AI comes into play. I generate numerous variants, merging elements selectively. This AI process approximates 12 hours of manual labor, preserving 99% of my artistic vision. However, it occasionally omits crucial nuances.
Using SDXL models! and good prompting is essential, models evolve and are better but they lack humanity, and lets be honest. computers are NOT horny.

This is enough for most times! she is hot and has the body to prove it but.... Results tend to change colors specially if you do like me 8 passes. slowly you get there.

Also the most important. Where is she? Where is the FOCUS OF THE DRAWING? AI does something terrible: it focuses on EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME, drawing a doorknob with the detail of a face, each tree with the same detail as the person; this makes images hard to read. I suggest upping your quality perspective by staring at many pieces for this takes some time, we need to guide the eyes to the face and her chest!

Step 5: Final Touches (Manual)

In this concluding phase, no AI is used. It’s all about enhancing details manually, where I recolor, refine, and redraw key aspects like facial expressions and eye placement. The intricate decisions made here, from line thickness to shape interactions, are solely mine.

Also redrew eyes, moved the mouth higher to give more effort added sweat, on the boobs, on her arms, and the 💦

Noice! Also notice the eyes the colors were decided to push the viewer to the face! the most important part IS ALWAYS THE FACE, never will it be the breasts, a trick on lewd art! never put the body parts first, even if you do fetish works, this is a rule to live by!

This creation is a blend of meticulous authorship and editing. We are gearing up to roll out more "high-caliber" pieces. The workflow involves drawing, personal redos, and hand recoloring—AI plays a minimal role, cutting down typical effort from 14-20 hours to just 4-6 hours. The aim? Elevating the quality of our content while maintaining output levels at least on par with my solo AI projects.

For those wondering about less edited pieces: they take a mere 15 minutes each, allowing for hundreds to be produced weekly. For these labor-intensive ones, I would manage less than 9 a week. So, maybe include one or two occasionally?

Details on My Metrics:

Quick Sketch: Line Only: 20 - 40 minutes.
With flat coloring: 40 minutes - 3 hours.
Full Body Piece: Line Art Only: 45 minutes - 4 hours. Colored/Minimal Shading: 5 - 10 hours.
This Piece:
- Polished with Cartoon Shading: 14-24 hours.
- Polished with Realistic Shading: 20-40 hours.
AI Assistance: Reduces time to 4-6 hours. This means the piece is approximately 15 hours quicker to produce, yet you receive a fully polished, high-quality piece, not just a sketch!
