it kinda messes with one’s head, doesn’t it? I’m not you, but personally I’ve been getting more and more motivated to learn to draw as I get more and more “full of candy” on AI art. ai art is going to quickly become the autotune of art—it’s just fun to be bad at art, IMO. you get to make entirely what you want! and you get to be as bad as it as you feel like!
if anything, AI art has made me value my bad art more—even if it isn’t high execution quality, I really really intuitively get now why art is about expressing yourself even when half-assed, and I wish I had a better way to convey this thought than english, because I suspect your reaction to this post is going to be ”....and?”—but I hope it helps!
That doesn’t resonate with me at all. I hate being bad at things and i’m extremely perfectionistic.
I was able to tolerate being bad at drawing because I knew I would eventually be good, but my goal was always to produce good art. I got into drawing because I had a use for art, not because I enjoyed it for its own sake. (Although I did in fact enjoy drawing, just not enough to keep doing it now that I can get good enough MJ illustrations for my site.)
