Art Demo Creation + AI collab

 

Super Hero pencil sketch on buff paper inked with sharpie.

I found a Cartooning Class demonstration drawing in my files (photo above) which I decided to finish using Adobe Photoshop and the FOTOR AI Art Generator app. 

My first step was to scan the art and use Adobe Photoshop to add color and some background. 

Below I have a brief process animation on loop of my steps:

In Adobe Photoshop, I added flat colors with minimal toning.

I decided to not add much detail to the buildings because that could be a good task for AI.

Using FOTOR app, I ran my digital art through various style filters. Four are included below:

The four FOTOR filtered style samples I liked best each had elements I could use.

I ended up using something from all of the above samples along with my own digital Photoshop rendering. I did this by cutting and pasting features I felt would be useful onto layers within my Demo art and modifying them to fit as you might see from my screenshot of the Photoshop workspace below.

I used numerous layers to apply the features provided by the FOTOR AI app that I wanted to use.

Below is my finished draft of my Super Hero Art. I will likely revisit it to refine it later.

My finished draft for now. 

This is to just show how AI generative tools can, I feel, legitimately help artists create. I hope it contributes to the discourse in a positive way.
