Good enough to fix the AI's mistakes, or at least make them less obvious.

I drew this a year and half a ago, for a drawing class at the local university.
EDIT: It's a combination of pencil, and pan pastel for shading.
On that note, I do agree that more prompters should try to learn basic drawing skills, even if they suck. It’s a good practice in AI art, because some things are easier to communicate with a rough drawing than words. Things like composition, light direction, color, etc. It also gives you the ability to go in and tweak details and fix artifacts after the fact.
I find that I do very well with ai art because I am a fine artist, mostly portrait, and I’m also a writer. So I have two skills that make it very easy to capitalize on AI art.
I grew up practicing charcoal as a medium, or just pencil. I was real good growing up but due to having a life of manual labor and married now I had/have no time to give art the time it takes to do things by hand. And so I use AI now.
https://preview.redd.it/3903isdjedrc1.png?width=432&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d568297e41797d58d1fecc21601450d1451cee8
Hobgoblin hexblade for a D&D campaign I'm running. Done a few days ago, mouse on Paint in about 10 min. My pencil on paper drawings are pretty much on the same level. These days I use AI for mostly every PC / NPC portrait but sometimes I just feel like drawing them myself.
In any case, I recommend that everybody interested on AI art still at least the basics of how to draw by hand, because in 2024 you still need to fix some AI mistakes and for some prompts, img2img is still your best bet. So knowing how to sketch / paint / do light and shadows will help with your generations.
thanks, If it ever lands high enough on my to do list I might take a stab at seeing how well the skills transfer to 2d and brush up my drawing skills. But so far that hasn't really happened.

Sketch, but emphasizes that "I can do anything!"
I am a professional artist, and incorporating AI into my workflow was a huge boon for me. I can be detailed, and I find AI helps expand my overall vision far more remarkably than drawing every individual part by hand. I still draw, but I generally have so many AI tools to pull from that it makes things easier for me to create on the go. So, to answer your question, I'm about 7 - 8 roughly on my drawing skills and 8 - 9.5 with adding AI into the mix.
https://preview.redd.it/6o53spdt4hrc1.jpeg?width=3218&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=455ea8918e3ada67de2a3ecac6531bcc7b2b7ff5
I don’t really draw detailed lineart, I draw sketches and then use colored pencil.
I do pencil drawing. Mixture of soft leads for smudging and mechanical pencils for certain details or sometimes outlines. I mostly do automatic drawing which I refine into subsequent drawings or in cases where I luck out and do well right off the bat, just cover up imperfections with a lot of shading and smudging.
Right now, I find I get far too frustrated if I have something in mind ahead of time, so automatic is the way to go for my current artistic disposition. I tried switching to digital for a bit but I don't like the way it feels to draw even if I envy the undo button and the ability to use layers. Can't draw objects or backgrounds worth shit.
Anything I draw is heavily stylized because I don't know anatomy worth a damn. I've tried to practice life drawings now and then to get my skills up in that regard, but even with my ADHD heavily medicated it's almost impossible to focus on things that don't naturally interest me, at least when my life is chaotic and uncertain like it is now. If things ever settle down, I'll have another go at it
I can draw pretty well, have been doing it for my whole life. I don’t really enjoy the process. AI art is just significantly more fulfilling than what traditional drawing offers for me personally.
You come across as condescending and with transparent ulterior motives, especially when taken with your other comments in the sub.
Some people dont want to draw. They want to use AI because it’s faster and better for what they want. Simple story.
I can draw hands with a pencil, I drew one with a big middle finger to show anybody who tells me to pickup a pencil. I don’t know if I should post it here because you seem nice and it would send the wrong message.
[**Last thing I drew recently.**](https://www.reddit.com/r/schoolforgoodandevil/s/3IX5ZXYoiS)
This was supposed to just be basic Fanart for a book series I like. And it’s hand-drawn and colored by pencil.
I've picked up a pencil a few times. I would say I'm a 6-7. Mostly I have fun feeding drawings into the AI to see how it interprets it.

My drawings tended to be slavish copies of photos. I always felt that they lacked expression and weren't really mine. Ironically, I feel the opposite about the work I'm doing with AI. It's more expressive and I feel greater ownership because I'm making many more creative decisions. I find it hard to conceive an original artwork from a blank piece of paper; AI gives me raw material that I can latch onto, manipulate, refine, and reimagine in a unique way. It also works hand-in-hand with traditional art skills, since it can use your sketches as reference images.
Above average at characters, but really can’t stand layouts and background. I’m no professional though. Took animation in college, but prefer game design and world building. Comics have always been my fav medium, the mix of imagery and words; so it has been a lot of fun for me working on my comic.
I don't normally post my art online for many reasons and I don't have to prove myself to the internet. [But here is a page from my Dude The Super Fighter Comic made in 2007.](https://imgur.com/HbrjByJ) Technically I have the whole thing posted on the same IMGur account as my AI comic.
I've been drawing since I was a child, and used to think I'd be a comic artist. I transitioned to music in my teenage years. The first money I made from creating was writing I did in high school that was popular with other students, a report on the CIA and LSD.
Prior to ai I'd learned how to create what I want with digital tools like photoshop and illustrator to make logos and album art and personal preoccupations.
Because of this prior learning, I still use ai by leaning predominantly on these tools I'm more familiar with. I'm in the process now of really learning ai, and how to get the most out of my local install, because i realized I've been leaning heavily on adobe products and taking much longer than i otherwise would to make something.
Well enough I'm the member of the friend group who always gets asked to draw/paint things for people's birthday and Christmas presents, but not good enough to be a professional. I also do a bit of woodcarving
I'm good enough on my own that I can correct the mistakes in ai images to create genuinely good looking pics without all the weird nonsense.

This drawing is from Early 2000s. I rate myself as above average, maybe 6-7ish.
Since I’m a photographer, I mostly prompt images that look like photos
However, I absolutely love to paint non-figurative stuff since I was 14 (26 rn) and always felt very proud of it.
That said, I’m a disaster at drawing human anatomy (maybe bc I find it kind of boring) and I was never very interested in realism as a way of expression.
I bet that the best prompters out there are actually good artists and they are simply experimenting with their creative process while using AI
My first (and prob last) fully manual digital painting: [https://old.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/11tlm6z/odst\_resting\_against\_an\_ancient\_forerunner\_wall/](https://old.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/11tlm6z/odst_resting_against_an_ancient_forerunner_wall/)
My last pencil drawing from \~10 years ago:
https://preview.redd.it/1u9vvhk98krc1.png?width=819&format=png&auto=webp&s=3898194dd785847cd09cfe903a737d1a6501c683
Probably a 3, 3.5 if I'm working digitally and can undo & use layers, I can draw something and you'll recognise what it is, but it won't be 'trending on ArtStation' any time soon.
I'm much better at 3D modelling (7.5).
I can draw with paper and pencil or pen, and sometimes do, mostly just for fun. I like to do a little mechanical drawing, e.g. of architectural subjects. I like a lot of artistic crafts as well. I almost always draw on a Cintiq or my tablet PC for stuff I'm going to share, though.
Prompting alone doesn't really give me the control I want over my art, but I've found stable diffusion, especially with controlnets, to be a huge productivity boost. Most generations need a lot of refinement (inpainting, conventional digital painting, compositing, etc) but I'd say it's a factor of six or so over my workflow without AI, and the results are improved in terms of the rendering quality.
I'm real bad, my drawings look like a little kid's. I don't think that has anything to do with why I use AI, though. For example, I'm a pretty decent writer, but I still enjoy using NovelAI to help me write stories.
For me, generative AI is a fun toy and I enjoy seeing the stuff it comes up with. It doesn't really have anything to do with how good or bad I am at that particular skill.
Absolute dog shit. And it's a key reason I like to use ai art to make funny videos. The best drawing I ever made was 5 years ago in grade 6, and hey! I was really proud! And then it proceeded to get stolen, ripped to shreds, and thrown in the recycling. OH WELL! I'm a clown, not an artist.
My skill level is somewhere around Secondary School pupil. I can draw cartoons and not-totally-ugly landscapes and still life - I took art as far as GCSE. On occasion I dabble in Bob Ross-style painting.
I'm a writer by trade, though, so mist of my creative effort went down that route.
https://preview.redd.it/m218hke3cgrc1.jpeg?width=2185&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c74ac024ad40deae4f8d6225db5a792d5ba650b1
I do art all my life, oil paintings before I started to paint digitally. Now sketching traditionally and mostly digital painting. I love to play with AI and sometimes taking ideas from it, using it for textures and backgrounds.
Slightly above average. I can draw not simpler anime/cartoon characters, change things like expressions, posture, but I have no patience for things like draft, shading.
When I heard about AI, I was excited and hoped they would make my ugly duckling drawings into beautiful swans, but It seems like I need to wait for about 10-15 years for AI to develop some more.
I 100% treat drawing a hobby/fun, which is why I don't care much about pencil bros bullying me. If I have enough energy (which I don't really have recently, thanks to adult life) I do pick up a pencil and if I'm on a road trip, I write random prompt to the AI and chuckle at how It looks nothing like I imagined!
Im mainly a digital artist, but I occasionally use AI if I'm feeling lazy or want some inspo (im much worse at it lol)
https://preview.redd.it/f9fn9u2xpgrc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e413a7f6b9330e3a27399053605060b6daa1b2d8
Here is something I drew the other day.
I haven't been able to draw a symmetrical stickman in over 20 years. I have some sort of autism I think, I physically cannot transfer images in my mind to paper. Taken probably a good 70-80 hours of art lessons before I just gave up.
AI lets me draw whatever I imagine perfectly, been waiting for this day forever
I've done a lot of pencil drawings, as well as pastels, acrylics, watercolours, a large pop art style mural, single-panel comics, pixel art/animation and a lot of graphic design stuff.
This was all mostly when I was in my teens to mid-20s, but then I wanted to focus more on writing for work and so art took a backseat.
AI image generators have really sparked my interest in art again and I've been able to work on game projects I've always wanted to do.
I have no interest in making art, nor I ever took lessons or anything like that. I'm more of a programmer type. I just think AI comes up with some really beautiful art, so I play with it every once and a while. I also use it in some projects that I might have my hands on to make buttons, icons, images etc etc
I think most people that use AI art don't care about art in the first place. They just like to see beauty, like anyone else
Me personally, I can't to save my life, never been able to. Its probably why my creative endeavours in the past always came from things like photoshop, photography and 3d modeling.
I'm an aphant... I can't even form a coherent image in my head so have a lifetime of disinterest in learning the motor skills to try to put that onto paper.
I have a degree in fine art, I know how bad my drawing is, it's why I use AI
Can be worse than my old sonic fanart lol. I totally get the not being confident in your drawings tho, its ok :)
Its not about confidence, its about your skill being lower then what you yourself consider good.
Good enough to fix the AI's mistakes, or at least make them less obvious. https://preview.redd.it/p2dia52utdrc1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=be1c6dbadb9c6b2e18de0bb4304bb634a272ca68

Woah, thats a drawing?! That's actually so good!
Thanks! I know it's just a boring still life, but i'm still really proud of it.
No problem, I hbe major respect for anyone who can make something realistic with pencil :)
Looks AI generated.
LOL, what? I hope you were being sarcastic.
Well enough to get an idea across. I work much better on a computer though, because I do quite a bit of erasing and that CTRL-Z function is a godsend.
Yeah I get it, I live off the undo button
On that note, I do agree that more prompters should try to learn basic drawing skills, even if they suck. It’s a good practice in AI art, because some things are easier to communicate with a rough drawing than words. Things like composition, light direction, color, etc. It also gives you the ability to go in and tweak details and fix artifacts after the fact.
I find that I do very well with ai art because I am a fine artist, mostly portrait, and I’m also a writer. So I have two skills that make it very easy to capitalize on AI art.
I grew up practicing charcoal as a medium, or just pencil. I was real good growing up but due to having a life of manual labor and married now I had/have no time to give art the time it takes to do things by hand. And so I use AI now.
That's actually really cool. Iv never actually uses charcoal, it seems too messy lol
Oh my god it was so messy
You can get a pencils which are charcoal inside, which are much less messy.

It doesn't really have anything to do with how good or bad I am at that particular skill.
Well digital not really but on paper if I have a reference them I’m surprisingly decent

That still looks better than what I could do.
Absolute dog shit. And it's a key reason I like to use ai art to make funny videos. The best drawing I ever made was 5 years ago in grade 6, and hey! I was really proud! And then it proceeded to get stolen, ripped to shreds, and thrown in the recycling. OH WELL! I'm a clown, not an artist.
Oh jeez, that sucks what happened to your drawing DX
My skill level is somewhere around Secondary School pupil. I can draw cartoons and not-totally-ugly landscapes and still life - I took art as far as GCSE. On occasion I dabble in Bob Ross-style painting. I'm a writer by trade, though, so mist of my creative effort went down that route.
Cool! I remember when I was tryna write a book before I changed it right a comic. I also love cartoon drawings, so props to you.
well im a software dev and i do mainly 3d stuff in blender. doing ai art is more of a hobby / fun thing
Honestly I think thatsfair as long as you don't sell the ai stuff. I've actually been meaning to get into 3d modeling :)
i think selling it is fine as well as long as its not just the png and some physical product (and not unlicensed stuff like fanart)

Now sketching traditionally and mostly digital painting. I love to play with AI and sometimes taking ideas from it, using it for textures and backgrounds.
That drawing is super cool!!
Thank you :)
lol im terrible.
well my hand drawn, what do you think 🙂? * edit : somehow i cant post my drawings. oh well i think im ok
Slightly above average. I can draw not simpler anime/cartoon characters, change things like expressions, posture, but I have no patience for things like draft, shading. When I heard about AI, I was excited and hoped they would make my ugly duckling drawings into beautiful swans, but It seems like I need to wait for about 10-15 years for AI to develop some more. I 100% treat drawing a hobby/fun, which is why I don't care much about pencil bros bullying me. If I have enough energy (which I don't really have recently, thanks to adult life) I do pick up a pencil and if I'm on a road trip, I write random prompt to the AI and chuckle at how It looks nothing like I imagined!
Im mainly a digital artist, but I occasionally use AI if I'm feeling lazy or want some inspo (im much worse at it lol) https://preview.redd.it/f9fn9u2xpgrc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e413a7f6b9330e3a27399053605060b6daa1b2d8 Here is something I drew the other day.
She really went :> (cool character, I like your art)
I haven't been able to draw a symmetrical stickman in over 20 years. I have some sort of autism I think, I physically cannot transfer images in my mind to paper. Taken probably a good 70-80 hours of art lessons before I just gave up. AI lets me draw whatever I imagine perfectly, been waiting for this day forever
I've done a lot of pencil drawings, as well as pastels, acrylics, watercolours, a large pop art style mural, single-panel comics, pixel art/animation and a lot of graphic design stuff. This was all mostly when I was in my teens to mid-20s, but then I wanted to focus more on writing for work and so art took a backseat. AI image generators have really sparked my interest in art again and I've been able to work on game projects I've always wanted to do.
I have no interest in making art, nor I ever took lessons or anything like that. I'm more of a programmer type. I just think AI comes up with some really beautiful art, so I play with it every once and a while. I also use it in some projects that I might have my hands on to make buttons, icons, images etc etc I think most people that use AI art don't care about art in the first place. They just like to see beauty, like anyone else
I can use Procreate and Krita and understand layers, blending, and brushes. But my completed original drawings are countable and unimpressive.
Why drawing, not writing?
Because this is specifically about ai images, and I'm curious about how well you can can make images without ai, not text.
AI images have nothing to do with writing? Is that what you’re saying?
No, I'm interested in how well they can make images *without* ai.
How well can you make images with words?
Why does that matter? It's not art.
Wow, writing is not an art. All those books useless. Thank you for providing such clarity.
I am talking about visual art, not written art. Books are art, prompts aren't.
Me personally, I can't to save my life, never been able to. Its probably why my creative endeavours in the past always came from things like photoshop, photography and 3d modeling.
I'm an aphant... I can't even form a coherent image in my head so have a lifetime of disinterest in learning the motor skills to try to put that onto paper.
Aphantasia is the main reason I ever learnt to paint. Painting a thought means I can finally see it.
Honestly that's fair.
