TRADITIONAL COLORED PENCIL TUTORIAL
Choosing the Right Supplies
Colored Pencils
When embarking on your colored pencil journey, opt for artist-grade pencils. These offer better quality and more vibrant pigments. Wax-based pencils are commonly used and are suitable for beginners.
Wax-Based Colored Pencils: These are generally more affordable. They can be harder to erase, layer, and blend compared to oil-based pencils, but they offer vibrant colors. Some popular brands include Prismacolor Premier and Faber-Castell Polychromos1.
Oil-Based Colored Pencils: These provide rich, smooth colors and are great for blending. They work well alongside wax-based pencils.
WHY I USE AI FOR ART GENERATION
Why and how I use AI for ART
The AI-Human Art Creation Process
It always starts the same; the dreaded white paper, digital of real. I stared at the blank field in front pf me with only vaguest of ideas and I start typing in ideas into the prompt. In this case I’m using CoPilot on Microsoft. It’s the free version with a registered account. It will do about 15 to 30 generation before you have to select NEW Subject. I wanted a coloring book type image and tell it “Black and white drawing for a coloring book, forest scene with a river running through it.”
Co pilot will generate any number of open forests at will. The AI is well trained in it, or you can order up any number of trees and put them together in a scene. I regret I don’t seem to have the initial image, but the next step was to start adding the animal, a deer I wanted to have jumping the water.
