I am genuinely trying to get better at art. I’m not there yet (likely never will be), the lying machine is still better than me.
The context:
This is my sketch.

And this is what the ai output.

I like to think I poured my heart and soul into it. I know there are people who will tell me that I’m terrible for using ai at all. I’m also sorry if this is the wrong community to ask this question (ask reddit would delete my post instantly if I tried to post there).
Again, is this slop? I am not an artist. I drive a forklift real good, that’s my skillset. So if I were to use the ai upscaled version for my book, well, I’m asking for opinions.


Were you on some sort of deadline? That’s the only reason I can think of that you would allow AI to steal this opportunity for you to grow and improve your skills.
I was drunk and lazy, and my hand hurt because it’s been years since I’ve done much drawing. Honestly, I’m liking the ai version less the more I see it. It looked great when I was drunk though.
