I don't think AI art can ever replace real art, ai will be use as a tool, and real art without ai use will become a new form of marketing tool to be sell as unique or luxury. I think we need to be at least up to speed with ai advancements and artist need to become entrepreneurs. Create our own studios and brands, if you lack a business mind set team-up with someone who can cover your blind spots. I believe that even if ai can produce a whole movie by its own it will still require a real artist to guide it, in the long-run real human connection will still be saw after. I'm sure that if you put two pieces made by ai and a real artist there will be people who prefer the ai, but there will still be people who go for the real artist as well, that just means we need to stay on the top of our game. Now is the time for independent creators to take the spot and let the old guard to rot in their mediocracy. Is happening in the indie scene with comics as well as books. Whether you adopt ai or not in your work, put your art out there, sell prints, do commissions, look for independents that are willing to hire, post your animations or comics on Youtube, there's always someone who is willing to buy your work.

I got this character turnarounds I did for a character design course years ago. Would this work or should I try something new?

Thanks for the feedback.

Blobderful.

Here're my first 3 attempts to the assignment. I don't know if I should have use tools for this one, I unfortunately skip the lesson at tools because of the Christmas season, the busy season for Live Caricature, and I have hand problems so I decided to use my hand for work mostly. I did most of these at work taking advantage that we're in a little drought period. Let me know what you think and if I should go do the Tools assignments before going back to try again this assignment?

at first I chose the red blocky toy, but I found out that it was hard to simplify more than it already was. Instead I found a model of the Deloreon from back to the future. The biggest drawing on the page was the one I did from reference, and the rest was done afterwards trying to rotate and draw it from memory. I also tried to open the doors from memory. The “blob method” Marshall talked about, worked ok, but I think it wasn’t very useful in this case because the Deloreon is already pretty much just a box, and I don’t need the blob method to draw that. But I can see the potential the blob method has!

Here, I’m adding my own spin to the exercise, starting with Monday’s task: rotating a kitchen item in perspective.

Here's a few more Master Analysis, and I have to said these wide-shot of Elbaph is one of my new favorite panels of One Piece

And that's all folks!

I wanted to do more, but here are some Master Analysis for the moment. My English is not very good, so sorry if I offended you with my poor prose. I would try to post more before the deadline, but one thing I notice while searching through my collection is that I tend to favor images that are more character focus, not a lot of environment stuff, and that needs to be corrected. Also how would you go about applying the analysis you are making while you are studying? Just doing roughs, nothing elaborated or doing rough sketches with some finish illustrations?
