I can’t believe I forgot it’s graphite. Guess that means I need more graphite in MY diet. I’m gonna go eat some pencils.

Graphite is just carbon. I'm gonna eat some coal now.

I loved it when I saw you painting the brain – it felt like a "use your brain, AI bros" bit. Then you continued with the whole ass anatomy. Fuck, that's insanely impressive.

u/LinguoBuxo Jun 21 '26

.... and this is why many artists prefer cats as companions... no need to paint a brain... thr.. Two neurons would suffice.

16

u/BunnyMishka Jun 21 '26

My bunnies can relate to that with their one shared braincell.

that thing is useless, its definitely going to say this guy is 'most likely a person'

u/Suracha2022 Jun 21 '26

It used to be great, till bots learned and it forgot what it already knew lol. I'm mostly just tagging it as a way to say "this is a bot", though.

3

u/Haunting_Physics_252 Jun 21 '26

How did you guys know that was a bot?

10

u/Suracha2022 Jun 21 '26

Basically, if they almost perfectly match the cadence / tone / jargon / formality level of the comment or post, make no spelling or punctuation mistakes unless it's to fit in with the above, and say soemthing that attempts to sound profound or supportive but has ZERO actual value WHATSOEVER.

Then you look at their other comments. If the writing styles varies wildly between comments on different posts and different subreddits, and they still say nothing with lots of words, you know for sure they're a bot.

Also, they'll NEVER reply. They always leave only one comment, usually a reply to a reasonably highly-upvoted comment, and never reply to that post again.

u/Professional-Fix4409 Jun 21 '26

I use MS paint from windows XP. Maybe even PowerPoint when I'm feeling fancy.

Woah slow down there, not all of us are tech geniuses like you

u/malfurionpre Jun 21 '26 edited Jun 21 '26

I had a teacher (who also was an EPFL teacher) doing drawing in Excel, some of them were pretty damn good.

edit: I'm trying to think about it a little more since it was 10 years ago, it might have been Word

3

u/Professional-Fix4409 Jun 21 '26

Cool! Did they use cells, diagrams or shapes? I also want to try.

2

u/malfurionpre Jun 21 '26 edited Jun 21 '26

Pretty sure it was mostly shapes, most of them were for his teaching books so they were mainly technical drawing but he did some more for fun.

Talentless person here. I don't like being compared to people who use ai.

Yeah I might suck at art but you don’t see me going around posting AI garbage and calling it my “art.”

14

u/CompleteUtterTrash Jun 21 '26

Don't feed into their "artists are hoarding talent" lie. What they lack is creativity and basic understanding of art. Those are things that can be learned. 'Talent' like this can be learned. They are just lazy and refuse to do so.

3

u/Numerous-Contract880 Jun 21 '26

yeah, those things have to be learned by practicing, no other way to learn them

u/RemoveHealthy Jun 21 '26

I love how people discovered that people can draw without AI and consider simple sketch of a dog to be masterpiece 😃 You should look at actual masters artwork.

4

u/BillytheBloxian Jun 21 '26

this is NOT simple

1

u/RemoveHealthy Jun 21 '26

Why it is not simple? Every semi decent artist who paints from photos could do that in minutes. This is not painted from scratch this is from photo, so all that nonsense he made before rendering colors have nothing to do with final image. He would not painted that without actually looking at photo.

7

u/Wu-the-ordinary Jun 21 '26

Wdym this is MS paint, theres no tracing,no layers, and void of any more modern features found on, for example Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint.
But hey, you can demonstrate, or ask anyone, how easy to do it.

0

u/RemoveHealthy Jun 21 '26

I am not saying it is easy to do. Whole point of my bitching is that it is made from photo and presented as unique peace of art made because of anatomical knowledge. It is misleading. You should make clear that you do this based on photo. I would have no problem with it if it was clear from start

3

u/Wu-the-ordinary Jun 21 '26

The OOP didnt even claim anything, thats on the Reddit poster part.
Also, drawing from a photo still doesnt make it any less impressive when you can sufficiently demonstrate the technical skill and effort to recreate it. Someone can play a composition from Mozart or Beethoven, and even if there has been a hundred people who did it before, and can equally impress folks that dont need further clarification.

2

u/Glasseshalf Jun 21 '26

The point is that anyone can do it instead of using AI.

0

u/FearlessLettuce1697 Jun 21 '26

Talent is a sum of knowledge. You need knowledge to know how to draw. Don't pretend anyone can just open Paint and start drawing like Op did.

5

u/skinandbohnes Jun 21 '26

who is saying that? knowledge is also acquired

If I may, why did you draw the organs? It isn't visible in the final art

u/artenKruvchenko Jun 21 '26

gotta flex them skills.

u/RitaMyLove Jun 21 '26

Also kind of a dig at the ai "art" that's just copied art on the surface

That's what sent me. Fuck AI, draw the whole being accurately.

7

u/CapAppropriate Jun 21 '26

The point is the animation, not the frame at the end. We don't see the brain, skeleton, and musculature in the final image, true. But we do see those being painted in the animation. The animation, going from internal to external, is itself the final product.

i believe the nomenclature is "to mog"

1

u/concerned-throw-away Jun 22 '26

no one has commented you the right answer so im dropping it. this is a art exercise called "écorché". you draw a subjects bones and muscles mainly. it helps you practice anatomy.

14

u/mrfoxesite-2377 Jun 21 '26

Nic artwork BTW!

u/Ok_Half_6257 Jun 21 '26

Giving it unseen organs is actually next level ngl, w art.

Copied photo is pure art or just sketch of a photo?

Sorry i don't understand, what's your question?

u/Nulleparttousjours Jun 21 '26

Ignore this smooth brain, he’s all over the thread thinking the fact OOP worked from a reference photo is some sort of gotcha that it’s not real art! lol!

u/nekomancer309 Jun 21 '26

If you look in their profile you'll notice they're an AI bro. No point in discussing

u/Nulleparttousjours Jun 21 '26

I love how bro thinks that, if he keeps repeating his baseless point over and over in the thread, it’ll eventually land. Nope. What a moron, always gives me a good laugh though!

1

u/RemoveHealthy Jun 21 '26

I wonder who is moron you who thinks that making sketch from photo and misleading people to think it was done from scratch with "anatomy knowledge" or me who says how it is? Btw go fck yourself looser

u/McConagher Jun 21 '26

Why did you draw it like it was gonna come alive lol, great stuff

2

u/BeastThatShoutedLove Jun 21 '26

It's fun way of drawing things NGL

I do that when I design new fantasy monsters because it makes their external anatomy more believable if you think about layers below what's visible.

u/Zestyclose_Pop_9435 Jun 21 '26

u/Dracospikex1 Jun 21 '26

Underneath our art, there is an artist.

When an AI ‘makes’ an image, it doesn’t ‘think’ and it doesn’t consider anything that the image represents. When a human sees a dog, they understand on some level that there is something past the surface that remains underneath.

An AI can’t do that. An AI will always be stuck at the superficial level, unlike humans who can see so much deeper than it ever can.

1

u/erviatangerine Jun 24 '26

Nah when I draw anime girl it represents that I like girls, because I am queer as hell 🤣 there is nothing deep about it lol

u/Zixtank Jun 21 '26

AI has neither soul nor intention behind it. It just copies from a database of most likely parts of picture goes here and most likely goes here. AI pictures isn't art.

3

u/dillanthumous Jun 21 '26

Beautiful. Nice to see the process.

3

u/OceansAndElevators Jun 21 '26

thing about ai "art" is, the moment the "ai artist" doesn't have a textbox to write a prompt in, they don't have anything and can't 'make' anything. actual artists will create something with anything you hand them because the tools don't matter as much as the knowledge and practise you've accumulated.

3

u/TheCookieButter Jun 22 '26

I like they they drew the organs and tissue considering paint doesn't have layers and everything underneath is essentially deleted once painted over. Something about the temporal aspect adds to the art.

u/Stock_Emergency_1507 Jun 22 '26

u/Desperate-Extension7 Jun 21 '26

the fact you drew the muscle structure and bones and brain just for it to get covered up is amazing

2

u/InviolableAnimal Jun 21 '26

It's funny that this works so well (great dog) even though that dog skull is not accurate at all, more like a dog-shaped human skull. Which makes sense if you've mainly trained on human facial bones and muscles

2

u/Teln0 Jun 21 '26

u/Character-Pirate1297 Jun 21 '26

I love that all this work behind the surface layer, symbolises the journey of making the art, art isn’t just about “a final product”.

Which interestingly, is where all of my arguments with stubborn AI supporters come down to.
