My drawing class for beginners is FULLY DONE! It's over 8 hours of learning - figure drawing, the fundamentals of form and perspective, and environments. It's a complete guide of how I learned to draw. 👇

One of my early jobs in animation was on a kids' show called The Backyardigans. I painted this as a Christmas gift for our art director (that's him at the bottom.)

@Aidan_Wolf Brutal attitude. Ignores the fact that learning art has never been more accessible, with thousands of artists putting out free lessons on virtually every topic, and the cost of entry-level materials being as cheap as a pencil. If you need AI to get into art, there is a problem.

Horribly sad to hear that Kim Jung Gi has passed. He was a real powerhouse among artists. Watching him draw was like witnessing magic. He seemed like a fun person to be around, too. I don’t know where he is now, but I’m positive he’s brought his brush pen with him.

@cassiel_filho I think current pros can indeed use it as a tool (barring ethical concerns.) I don’t fear the tech. But I do worry about the next generation of artists not being bothered or incentivized to learn fundamental art skills, and what untold impact that might have

What’s been most notable about AI is the amount of students asking me if it’s even worth it to practice art anymore. As though AI’s got them checkmated. Has me thinking that if AI does take over, it won’t be because it’s better…but because human artists have thrown in the towel.
