I hear you about AI and I like your drawing. I stopped drawing for a few months after I saw what it was capable of, but eventually I came back to it. I think for some of us, we don’t draw to be technically perfect or to mirror reality or any of that, we draw because we really, truly, do have to. Creativity is an engine for us we just can’t turn off. We’ll see what the audience for art prefers in the end.
Though personally I find a lot of their taste to be irrelevant to my work. I’m obscure anyway, which means I can make whatever I want.
I also hear ya on that! When I stop drawing for too long a sort of angst builds up in my head. I gotta draw and I loathe being apart from it. I also agree on the benefit of obscurity. It's nice not feeling pressured to draw anything in particular, which seems like a common pitfall these days with modern social media. ;-;
Wonderful update my dude!
